How about Aussie Kangaroo Shampoo brand introduction

Aussie, the Chinese name Kangaroo, both names can easily be mistaken for an Australian brand, but Kangaroo was actually born in the United States in 1979. Kangaroo, originally known as the "three-minute miracle hair mask", is now one of P&G's mass hair care brands. With its affordable price and good washing and care effect, it has become the top three sales of BOOTS hair products in the UK for two consecutive years, and has ranked first on the INSTYLE hair care list, and has been selected as the WINNER of Beauty Awards by authoritative media such as VOGUE, ANTI-AGEING, COSMOPOLITAN, Fabulous and so on.
 
Kangaroo shampoo is divided into three branches, Volumizing Shampoo, Hydrating Shampoo and Strengthening Repair Shampoo. All three are more suitable for fine and soft hair, and none of them have added silicone oil, which will significantly improve the lodging condition of the hair after use, but many consumers have reported that it is too dry. Each of the three is targeted and suitable for greasy fine hair, dry fine hair and brittle fine hair.
 
Miracle Volumizing Shampoo is the first choice for oily skin, with ammonium lauryl sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate and other low-irritation ammonium salts, excellent cleaning power, and the hair after blow drying is fluffy and unacceptable. Hair types with sufficient volume or frizz may not be suitable and need to be used with a silicone shampoo. The Volumizing version is infused with hops extract, the hydrating version is infused with macadamia nut extract, and the repair version is infused with jojoba seed oil, which is hardly a real treatment, but these exotic botanicals do add a lot of color to the scent of the shampoo. The kangaroo fragrance is comfortable, and when washing, it is like being in an orchard and flower field, which has a feeling of relaxation and happiness.
 
However, in terms of the combination of preservatives, kangaroos have a common problem with American brands, and they are accustomed to adding methylisothiazolinone as a more stimulating preservative. As an early preservative, this ingredient has a strong dermatitis irritation. In 2017, the new EU standard "EU 2017/1224" stipulates that it shall not be used in lingering cosmetics, and the maximum allowable concentration in rinse cosmetics such as shampoo shall not exceed 0.0015%, which is almost equivalent to banning such ingredients. However, China still adopts the 0.01% limit in the 2015 "Safety and Technical Standards for Cosmetics", and the US standard is similar to China's, for safety reasons, especially for women who are trying to get pregnant, pregnant women and infants and young children are not recommended to use daily chemical products with these preservatives. Methylchloroisothiazolinone (methylchloroisothiazolilinone), DMDM hydantoin (DMDM), and imidazolidinyl urea (imidazolidinyl urea) have similar problems.
 
Kangaroo products are all 300ml capacity, need to be poured with the lid open, priced at 70-80 yuan. Kangaroo shampoo uses purple plastic bottles, and the design is similar to the old-fashioned Pantene and Rejoice under the same Cleaner & Gamble, which is relatively low-grade, and the opening process is extremely unfriendly. However, for consumers with fine and soft hair, kangaroo may be the most targeted shampoo product.
