Ingredient Comparison



Ingredient Comparison
All three shampoos provided thorough information on their ingredients on the labels. As all three products claimed to have anti-dandruff properties, they were found to have Zinc Pyrithione which is an over-the-counter medication for dandruff as their active ingredient. Fragrances were found to be labeled differently as Parfum in Sunsilk and Fragrance in Head & Shoulders and Clear. Ingredients for the fragrance are not listed specifically indicating that no restricted substances were used to produce the fragrance. Both Sunsilk and Clear shampoos were also found to use natural ingredients such as Lime extract and Sunflower seed oil which may be used to portray the shampoos as safe and soft on the scalp. Head & Shoulder though do not use any natural ingredient portray itself as a specialist shampoo in ridding dandruff with little emphasis on using natural ingredients.
