Medicine Description johnsons-shampoo 100ml
johnson's shampoo is a medication formulated primarily for cleansing the hair and scalp of infants and young children. Its mechanism involves a combination of surfactants that effectively remove dirt and oil while being gentle on the skin. The active ingredients, such as Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Decyl Glucoside, are mild surfactants that create a lather, allowing for the easy rinsing away of impurities. This formulation is designed to minimize irritation, particularly to the eyes, and aims to maintain the moisture balance of delicate hair and scalp, leaving the hair soft and manageable without causing tears upon contact with the eyes.
