Hello anonymous777-ga
I’ve compiled the information you requested regarding the list of
ingredients in the two Infusium 23 shampoos. In addition, I’m also
including some sites that I kept encountering in the course of my
research that you might find useful for further investigations of
product ingredients. Please ask for clarification if you need further
information about any of this. I wish you well on your explorations.

ISOSTEARAMIDOPROPYL ETHYLDIMONIUM ETHOSULFATE
---------------------------------------------
http://www.alzointernational.com/surfactants.htm
This ingredient is a surfactant
http://www.phoenix-chem.com/phoenix/catemol.html
Isostearamidopropyl Ethyldimonium Ethosulfate
Applications: Hair conditioner
http://www.scherchem.com/schercoquat_ias.htm
Applications
Highly concentrated liquid quaternary
Good water solubility
Good compatibility with most anionic surfactants
Recommended for clear conditioning shampoos where it contributes body,
compatibility and antistatic properties
---------------
METHYLCELLULOSE
---------------
http://www.chemistrystore.com/Using%20Methylcellulose.htm
Using Methylcellulose To Thicken Your Formulations
Viscosity control.
METHYLCELLULOSE (MC) products are best known as extremely efficient
thickeners. In dozens of leading shampoo formulations, for example, as
little as 0.3 - 1.0% helps increase solution viscosity denoting
richness and quality. Further, solution viscosity may be achieved
independent of primary surfactants or other ingredients.
Lather enhancement / stabilization.
METHYLCELLULOSE products offer a unique property called interfacial
gelation. This property is the cumulative result of the inherent
surface activity and gelling behavior of MC. Interfacial thermal
gelation occurs spontaneously even in very dilute systems over a wide
range of use temperatures. This formation of gelled films within the
foam accounts for the polymer’s ability to enhance lather in cleansing
products of all types. It also explains why foams are denser and more
stable.
Lubricity. The natural lubricity METHYLCELLULOSE products add can
improve product flow and aid in dispensing. Sensory characteristics of
products can be greatly enhanced. For example, shaving gels may
exhibit improved razor glide and skin toners acquire a softer, more
luxuriant feel.
Emulsion stabilization. As emulsifiers, METHYLCELLULOSE polymers
facilitate dispersion and blending of other ingredients, thereby
improving consistency and stability of oil-in-water formulations. This
stability results in greater product uniformity and quality control.

TEA-LAURYL SULFATE

http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/4266/shampoo.html
Chemistry of shampoos – Gives a good explanation of the major types of
surfactants.
Look at the label!!! Here is a guide to how gentle your shampoo is
according to the surfactant used:

The Best Shampoo and Conditioner for You
There are various cleansers -- called "surfactants" -- used in
shampoo; among the most common are sodium or ammonium laureth sulfate,
sodium or ammonium lauryl sulfate, and TEA-lauryl sulfate. Of these,
sodium lauryl sulfate and TEA-lauryl sulfate tend to be somewhat harsh
and can irritate a sensitive scalp.
------
CARMEL
------
Found it listed as ingredient in other shampoos as well. Seems to be a
misspelling of CARAMEL.
http://www.fredonline.co.uk/ingredientlist.htm
Hair Product Ingredient Glossary
Caramel -- Used as a coloring in cosmetics and a soothing agent in
lotions. Produced by heating sugar or glucose and adding small amounts
of alkali or a trace mineral acid during heating.
http://www.cosmeticmall.com/Content/ingredients.asp
Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary
A concentrated solution of heated sugar or glucose. It is used in
cosmetics as a color and in skin lotions as a soothing agent. In 198,1
the FDA ruled caramel generally recognized as safe.

GUANINE

Animal Ingredients
Guanine: Obtained from scales of fish. constituent of ribonucleic acid
and deoxyribonucleic acid and is fun in all animal and plant tissues.
In shampoo, nail polish, and other cosmetics.

GUAR HYDROXYPROPYLTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE
------------------------------------
http://www.herc.com/aqualon/personal_care/pc_eulit/images/eu_pdf_files/pctr001.pdf
Efficacy of guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride as a substantive hair
conditioning agent
Cationic polymers are known to be substantive to protein substances
such as human hair. Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, a
water-soluble quaternary derivative of natural guar gum, imparts
conditioning properties to shampoos and after-shampoo hair care
products. The effects of the cationic charge density, guar
concentration in aqueous solution, and treatment time on bleached
European hair were studied.

GLYCOL DISTEARATE
-----------------
http://www.makingcosmetics.com/makingcosmetics/glossary/07_glossary_g.html
Making Cosmetics -- Glossary
Glycol Stearate
The monoester of ethylene glycol and stearic acid. An emollient and an
emulsifier used in lotions and shampoos to achieve a pearling effect.
See Glyceryl Monostearate.
http://pubs.acs.org/cen/whatstuff/stuff/8015sci3.html
WHAT'S THAT STUFF?
Nonionics such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) esters can play a number
of roles in a shampoo system. For example, PEG-80 sorbitan laurate
promotes mild cleansing, whereas PEG-150 distearate is used to build
viscosity. Alkanolamides--one you might see listed on a label is
cocamide MEA--is an example of another type of nonionic that provides
foam stabilization and viscosity-building properties.
http://www.hatcocorporation.com/pages/about_esters.html
ESTERS IN SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS
In the simplest terms, esters can be defined as the reaction products
of acids and alcohols. Thousands of different kinds of esters are
commercially produced for a broad range of applications.

dermatological compatibility. This mixture of Lauryl Glucoside and a
hydrophobic, stabilizing synergist (Polyglyceryl-2
Dipolyhydroxystearate) has a high emulsifying potential for different
oil structures.

Ingredients.
http://www.ctpa.org.uk/reg/inglab/bulk.htm
Ingredient Labelling – INCI
All labels on cosmetic and personal care products must contain a list
of ingredients used.
The INCI names (International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients)
for "chemical" ingredients are based principally on the International
Dictionary produced by the US trade association for cosmetic and
personal care products.
http://www.cir-safety.org/
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) was established in 1976 by the
Cosmetic, Toiletry & Fragrance Association (CTFA) with support of the
U.S. Food & Drug Administration and the Consumer Federation of
America. Although funded by CTFA, CIR and the review process are
independent from CTFA and the cosmetics industry. The Cosmetic
Ingredient Review thoroughly reviews and assesses the safety of
ingredients used in cosmetics in an open, unbiased, and expert manner,
and publishes the results in the open, peer-reviewed scientific
literature.
