The rising market demand for natural and organic personal care products has changed cosmetics industry trends. Industries are now being forced to change their recipes to comply naturally, and several products with natural or organic claims are surfacing daily. Unfortunately, the increasing demand has not yet been met by research and growth, and the Internet is now filled with inaccurate tips, recipes and courses that do not include clear and realistic knowledge about how to formulate a safe natural product. Since of the highly dynamic nature and chemistry of surfactants this phenomenon is even more prominent in natural hair care formulations.
