    What common household good contains the chemicals dihydrogenated talliwamidoethyl hydroxyethylmonium mehtylsulfate, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, and methylchloroisothiazolinone?

    Question #20987. Asked by I'm no geek. (Jul 30 02 2:15 AM)


    Friar Tuck

    		Searches fail with some of the chemicals named but shampoo and other hair treatments appear containing the others.

    Chemist

    		None - they do not follow standard chemical nomenclature and look made up.

    		Sorry chemist, it is a real substance. Friar Tuck is right. It is a particular brand of shampoo (although I can't remember which brand.) Good job, I didn't know if anybody would get this.

    		It is indeed a real chemical which does follow IUPAC nomenclature. It can be found in many shampoos, conditioners, body washes, and other cosmetics. It is primarily a preservative for fragrance and color. (I got bored and called the Lever people and looked through the big chem and physics books in college)
