Hair shampoos typically contain water, surfactants for cleaning, thickeners to adjust viscosity, and sometimes conditioners to alter the texture and appearance of hair. Some shampoos are formulated for use on skin as well, and may also include skin conditioners to reduce the drying impact of frequent washing. Skin conditioners come in four categories: emollients (to lubricate), humectants (to moisturize), occlusive (to reduce moisture loss by forming a barrier on the skin), and miscellaneous (to enhance the appearance of dry or damaged skin).
