Abstract-
Where can chemists find inspiration to develop successful hair care products? As formulating chemists, where can we go for ideas for new product development? Traditional sources yield boring me-too products. Marketing expects multifunctional benefits and powerful claims from each product. Gone are the days where a shampoo simply cleanses the hair. Formulating high end hair care products can be a challenge. What sparks the inspiration allowing us to create the innovation customers are seeking? How do we make our brands successful and keep employers satisfied? What’s behind a “hero” product? Joe will explore some ways in which through chemistry, and a bit of imagination and creativity, you can use available raw materials to create innovative hair products.
