What does your shampoo and conditioner do for your hair and scalp?

Does it leave your hair looking and feeling great ?

or

Does it leave your hair limp and oily looking?

Many shampoos contain soap that strips the natural oils from your hair and leaves it dull looking.

They often contain things like SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) as a foaming agent - SLS is a known mutagen - it is capable of damaging the genetic material found every cell in your body. As mutagenicity has been strongly linked to cancer - this should be a major concern for anyone!

Now we don’t want to scare you - we just want you to make your choices based on what’s good for you and for your environment. We’ve done a lot of reading recently and what we read worries us more than just a bit! 

Hey, have you ever got shampoo in your eyes? Yes, so have we - not pleasant is it? But the potential effects of SLS on the eye are much more worrying. In animal studies, 10% SLS caused acute corneal damage. So, it’s not just direct eye contact that is the problem. According to the American College of Toxicology, "tests show permanent eye damage in young animals from skin contact in non-eye areas".

In other words, because SLS is absorbed through the skin, it can cause PERMANENT eye damage WITHOUT ever directly coming into contact with your eyes. So, wouldn’t you expect that at least children’s products would be SLS-free? Unfortunately not, most children’s shampoos contain just as much SLS as those for adults!

Shampoos can also contain parabens as a preservative - parabens can cause cause skin irritation and contact dermatitis.

Don’t you find it all a bit scary?

We think everyone should have access to natural hair care products that don’t contain SLS, parabens or petrochemicals.
