I have a bottle of shampoo here, and this is what is written on its front:
HAIR X
ADVANCED
GROWTH REVIVER
SHAMPOO
FOR THINNING HAIR
helps to prevent hair thinning
and fortifies hair
plus REVIVE +
plus COMPLEX
Now I personally suspect that the only science involved in determining these words and phrases was the science of market research: what words and phrases do potential customers [who are willing to buy an expensive bottle of shampoo] associate with what they perceive to be effective for their hair?
If I am wrong, what science might underpin the chosen words and phrases?

This product is a innovative system that not only improves hair growth and appearance but also prevents follicular atrophy.

Anyone who thinks this stuff is a product of a marketer's imagination rather than a scientific laboratory would have to be right. Detergent plus additives to make it less like detergent.
