Perfume Oil
Perfume oil can be broken down into two different types. A synthetic oil, or
a fragrance taken from a specific source through methods such as
headspace. Headspace directly vacuums the smell from the object nd gets
a print out of its chemical equation to recreate the smell. Oils can be
extracted from flowers, plants, animals, ect. The oils have three parts: The
top note, the heart note, and the base note. The top note is what you smell
immediately. The heart note is what you smell 3-4 hours after applying and
it evaporates slowly. The base note sticks easily to the skin and can stay for
up to eight hours! The chemical equations for perfume oil completely
depend on what the oil was taken from
Water and Alcohol
There are also many different types of alcohol that can be
used. Ethyl Alcohol is most commonly used (C2H6O)
because it helps the fragrance spread out. Distilled water,
H2O, is also used to spread out the smell of the fragrance.
Dilution is much needed in a perfume for it to be
appealing. There are different strengths of perfume based
on how much dilution is added. Parfum, the most
concentrated perfume you can buy, is 15-25 percent
perfume oil. Cologne, the least concentrated perfume, is
about 10 percent perfume oil.

Sodium chloride( NaCl): Used to adjust the viscosity
Sodium Lauryl sulfate
(CH3(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)nOSO3Na): Surfactant
Cocamidopropyl betaine: C19H38N2O3
Ammonium Chloride(H4ClN)
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate(C12H29NO4S)
Glycol(C2H6O2
All of these components help the foaming, rinsing, eye
irritation, feeling of shampoo itself, fragrance and smell,
acidity, and the repairing of damaged hair.
MAIN
CHEMICALS/
COMPONENTS/
COMPOUNDS
Shampoo is made by combining a surfactant with a
cosurfactant. These are the two main components in
Shampoo. A surfactant is a substance that reduces the
surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved. In
shampoo, a surfactant works as a detergent to clean the
hair, although it can also act as a wetting agent, foaming
agent, and an emulsifier. The other component in shampoo
is a cosurfactant. Cosurfactant is a substance that is used
to increasing the oil solubilizing capacity.
