Yes it can?
- emporas 1y agoNo it can't. Saliva has enzymes in it, enzyme means: "in life"-alive. Shampoo substances are dead, or chemical combinations which were never alive.
- TheCapeGreek 1y agoBy that logic any cleaning detergent also can't remove blood, sweat, or other bodily excretions from any surface?
- fuckaj 1y agoAnd also by the same logic, chemical reactions in general are impossible outside of life. E.g. a fire.
- sva_ 1y agoEnzymes are pretty common in laundry detergents and probably also shampoos.
- Cthulhu_ 1y agoEnzymes are biological substances, but they aren't living organisms. Hence why they are in my dried powder detergent and the like.
- astura 1y agoThe word "enzyme" comes from the Greek words "en-" (in) and "zymē" (leaven), coined by German physiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1878 from the German word Enzym.
- BizarroLand 1y agoI think you are confusing testosterone and DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is a testosterone derivative and is not testosterone itself. Shampoos that contain anti-DHT chemicals like minoxidil can block DHT from attacking your hair follicles but don't eliminate it from the body.
- nomel 1y agoA detergent probably can. On that will be labeled as shampoo, which is intentionally gentle, to not remove too much oil from your scalp (which causes excessive oily hair, since it's regulated with a feedback system by the sebaceous glands), maybe not. Both of you should provide evidence.
