Why opt for natural hair care?
Like our body and our skin, our hair and scalp face a number of aggressive factors, such as seasonal and temperature changes and environmental pollution, as well as residue build-up. Here is a brief list of ingredients used in conventional shampoos. These are often used to optimize product performance and appearance of the hair, but are best to avoid*:- Surfactants (washing and foaming base): For example, sodium laureth sulfate.
- Cationic surfactants used to detangle and condition hair and remove static electricity: For example, benzalkonium chloride and dicocodimonium chloride.
- Emulsifiers and thickeners added to the formulas, with emollient and softening properties: For example, silicone and polymer, including dimethicone and acrylate crosspolymer.
- Preserving and antibacterial agents: For example, parabens and their common substitutes, such as methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI), or DMDM hydantoin.
- Perfumes: listed as Fragrance / Parfum on the label.
