Mannitol in Shampoo

Yes, Mannitol can be used in shampoo formulations. It is a water-soluble sugar alcohol commonly used in various cosmetic products.

Based on the product information, Mannitol offers benefits such as reducing irritation, pain control, and antioxidant properties, which can be beneficial for the scalp.

Regarding its effect on foam, Mannitol is not primarily a foaming agent or foam booster. While it is water-soluble and compatible with shampoo systems, its impact on foam volume or stability is generally minimal at typical usage rates (1-5%). Any effect would depend on the overall surfactant system used in the shampoo formulation.
