On the label there's a rather mysterious "Aqua" ingredient, and then something that must be a magic formula, a long list of words written in Latin, mixed with long molecules names and code numbers. Is this something that everyone of us is expected to read and understand?

Rosanna Van Hespen, a student at the University of Melbourne took the time to find out [[/blogs.unimelb.edu.au/sciencecommunication/2014/10/23/whats-in-my-shampoo/|what are the 29 ingredients of her shampoo]] (Fructis / Garnier) and what their purposes are. It is a very interesting and funny read.

The Guardian also made a [[/www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/ng-interactive/2015/feb/10/shampoo-ingredients-label-chemicals-interactive|What's in your shampoo?]] interactive site that tells you what 9 common shampoo ingredients are, if there is a risk associated with them, and in that case how to avoid them.

In fact you don't really have to open shampoos to find out what's in them. Ingredients are on the label. What we want to open is the data (those ingredients and beauty claims) for all the shampoos from around the world, and put it in a free and open database that anyone can use for any purpose.

The What's in my shampoo? project will officially launch on [[/opendataday.org/|Open Data Day]], Saturday March 5th 2016. Our goal for this day is to open the data for at least one shampoo sold in each of the 250 countries and dependent territories.

To achieve this goal, we need you to hunt for people (family, friends, contacts, people interested in open data, in cosmetics or both) who live in all the countries and territories (yes, including North Korea and the Antartic bases) to convince them to snoop in their bathroom cabinets, take a shampoo, and send us some photos of the ingredients list and packaging.

We would be very interested in working with schools and universities from all levels and fields. We could have student projects for many different areas and domains: from collecting data to analyzing it. It could be as simple as collecting data from the shampoos sold in the school on-campus stores. Biology and Chemistry students could analyze shampoo samples to check the content indicated on the label. Computer science students could help us improve the optical character recognition for ingredient lists printed on curved shampoos. And together we can come up with many more ideas! [[Mailto:contact@whatsinmyshampoo.com|Let's talk about it!]].
