Shampoos without sulfates and parabens. List of professional, natural, organic products for adults and children

The development of the cosmetic industry naturally led to a fashion for everything natural. Particularly noteworthy are the increasingly popular shampoos without sulfates and parabens, the abundance of which requires a more thorough understanding of which products are best to use.

Why are sulfates and parabens dangerous?

Only by studying the compositions of hair care products, you can realize the danger of the chemical components added there to improve detergency and extend the shelf life. And to see the difference between the action of a standard product and one that does not contain harmful impurities, you can in practice in terms of the appearance and health of the hair.

The following substances are especially dangerous in the composition of care products:

• Parabensthat ensure the safety of products. They are based on esters that protect the skin from the action of the fungus. These components are able to accumulate in the body and cause cancer.
• Sulfatesproduced from oil, in addition to the destructive effect on hair and skin, cause allergies.

When washed off, shampoos containing sulfates partially remain on the body, which enhances the negative effect of chemistry on the body and entails the following consequences:

• Dyed hair loses color and shine; the effect of using curative keratin for hair decreases.
• The protective fat layer existing on the scalp is eroded, resulting in a permanent “oily hair effect” and daily washing.
• Dandruff, dermatitis, chronic hair loss appear.

Benefits of natural shampoos

Organic cosmetics are a safe alternative to sulfate shampoos. It is a common myth that natural shampoos cannot rinse your hair properly.

Pmanufacturers add special substances made from coconut oil and glucose to the composition:

• lauret sulfosuccinate;
• lauril glucoside;
• cocoglucoside (cocoglucoside).

The names of these components sound threatening, but their gentle action will dispel any doubts about their organic origin.

Among the undoubted advantages of sulfate-free shampoos:

• Gentle to pH balance of the skin, moisturizing and soothing the skin.
• There is no chance of dandruff.
• Safe for the health of children of any age.
• The use of natural shampoos enhances the effect of balms and hair masks.
• Sulfate-free products are neutral to the environment.

Sulfate-free shampoos do not lather, but this does not affect their cleaning power. To maximize the effect of such a product, it is necessary to hold it on the hair for a little longer before rinsing with water.

In nature, there are also natural preservatives, the raw material for the production of which are plants.

These substances have an active antibacterial and antifungal effect and are widely used in organic cosmetics:

• Essential oilsthat suppress the activity of microbes: lavender, thyme, carnation, rose, juniper and many others. Plant esters are capable of inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microflora for a long time.
• Beekeeping products. The phytoncides contained in honey, propolis and wax have antiviral and bacteriostatic properties.
• Sea salt that inhibits the growth of bacteria.
• Sour berries such as cranberries, lingonberries and blueberries are loaded with benzoic acid, which is harvested in the laboratory and added to cosmetics as an antimicrobial agent.

The list of natural "substitutes" goes on and on. Their main advantage: a complex of useful qualities that have a positive effect on health and beauty. Accordingly, since organic-based shampoos usually have a capacious composition, their effect on hair and skin is difficult to overestimate.

After the second application, leave on hair for 2-3 minutes, then rinse. If you have an abundance of styling products on your hair, you may need a third application.

• When buying shampoo, you need to pay close attention to the expiration date and storage conditions in the store. Such products are not displayed in direct sunlight.
