Desenvolvimento de shampoo sólido com ação anticaspa e cicatrizante

Abstract

The aim of this project is to develop an innovative cosmetic product that benefits the population, particularly individuals suffering from dandruff. Produced in alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 and 9, the solid shampoo utilizes selenium sulfide, which has anti dandruff properties, along with tea tree and copaiba oils, which have healing properties. This combination provides cleansing and refreshment for users without drying out or irritating the scalp. The product's special design features ridges that gently massage the scalp, preventing the need for fingers and nails, thereby promoting a gentle hair cleaning process. The unique combination of characteristics and ingredients makes the product sustainable, healthy, and research-backed, contributing to scientific advancement in the cosmetic industry. The entire production process was based on research in scientific articles, laboratory tests, and guidance from instructors. The tests involved pre-established preparation techniques, scientifically grounded in other projects. Regarding the results, they were satisfactory. The product achieved bar consistency, there was foam formation and had a light lemon scent, although the characteristic smell of tea tree oil was still predominant. In conclusion, the development of an anti-dandruff and healing solid shampoo requires extensive research, knowledge, and multiple formulation tests. It is important to consider numerous factors, such as the product's sensory attributes, conservation and durability in different environments, appropriate packaging, and labeling following correct specifications. This underscores the complexity of the project and highlights the importance of developing a product for people living with dandruff.
