  How does CAPB provide hair conditioning in Shampoo with SLES @ pH 5

  Posted by Abdullah on December 20, 2022 at 5:23 am

  In this shampoo for example

  7.5% SLES active 
  2.5% CAPB active

  Water

  pH 5 

  How does CAPB contribute in hair conditioning?

  Does it only reduce the negative charge of hair or it has any other conditioning benefit too?

  Answer: not much. CAPB contributes negative conditioning to hair by itself, but it does help to form coacervates with conditioning quats that do condition hair. Polyquaternium-7 comes to mind.
