Sulfate Free
Shampoos - Why Use them? Sulfates
are used in many shampoos to produce a lathering affect and clean
the hair. However, if your hair is damaged, dry, or chemically treated,
these sulfates can cause breakage and hair loss. The reason is because
harsh sulfates actually strip the hair, leading to dryness. Dryness
leads to decreased elasticity and breakage. One common sulfate,
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, is known to cause eye irritations, skin rashes,
hair loss, scalp scurf similar to dandruff, and allergic reactions.
However, you will probably find it on the ingredient list of most
of your shampoos. Other harsh sulfates include:
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
TEA Lauryl Sulfate
TEA Laureth Sulfate
Our all natural, sulfate free shampoo contains
NO SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE.
What about
other sulfates?. In addition to the
four sulfates already mentioned, there are other, less harsh sulfates.
These are generally safe for dry and chemically treated hair; however,
our shampoo does NOT contain any of these sulfates either. These
sulfates include:
PEG 80
Polyoxethylene Fatty Alcohols
Sorbitan Laurate
Decyl Polyglucose
Cocamidoprpyl Betaine
Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Sodium Myreth Sulfate
Our all natural, sulfate free shampoo
contains NO SULFATES AT ALL.
