Recently, chitosan derivatives, as eco-sustainable and renewable products, have been recorded to be highly effective toward cosmetics with potent biological activity. The main core of this research is to develop an organic hair conditioner (OHC) based on two chitosan-thiadiazole conjugates, chitosan-(ethylthio‑thiadiazole) (CH-ETD) and chitosan-(benzylthio‑thiadiazole) (CH-BTD), with natural fragrances. A series of nine OHC formulae were prepared (CH1-CH3 for chitosan based OHC, E1-E3 for CH-ETD based OHC, and B1-B3 for CH-BTD based OHC) and characterized based on their visual examination, pH, thermal stability, dirt dispersion, moisturizing time, percentage of solid content, hair irritation, rinsing, combing, and the luster.
