Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this shampoo because I thought it was all natural. That's what I get for not researching it better. I was able to cancel my order in time once I found out this shampoo contains SLS (sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate). I gave it 3 stars even though I didn't try it. I feel it's my fault for not making sure of the ingredients. I wish they listed the ingredients on the product page. But since they don't, I cut and pasted here from their website:
Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamide DEA, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Hordeum Distichon (Barley) Extract, Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Extract, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, Viola Tricolor (Wild Pansy) Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Panthenol, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Wheat Amino Acids, Soy Amino Acids, Arginine, Serine, Threonine, Butylene Glycol, Glyceryl Undecylenate, Phenoxyethanol, Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance.
This really surprises me because their website boasts of all of their "natural products" that are good for you.
And if you are wondering what the difference between sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate, I found helpful information about it online. They are both commonly used chemicals found in many beauty products, including shampoo because it helps with the foaming action. Unfortunately, they both are very harmful chemicals and can lead to hair damage, skin damage, liver toxicity, and maybe eye damage to kids.
Apparently, "sodium laureth sulfate is somewhat less irritating than SLS, it cannot be metabolised by the liver and its effects are therefore much longer-lasting. This not only means it stays in the body tissues for longer, but much more precious energy is used getting rid of it."
