What's truly in your shampoo?

Can you list the ingredients in your shampoo like you can for your food? Probably not! These days, an increasing amount of people are making the choice to buy organic foods and work out regularly, but they should also consider using natural products in an effort to lead an actual healthier lifestyle.

Not everyone is aware that something as simple and ubiquitous as shampoo can contain elements such as sulfates, parabens, and silicone, that are detrimental to both you and the environment. They completely rob the scalp of all moisture that is essential in retaining shine, resulting in brittle locks with split ends. But the real danger comes from the fact that these chemicals can also cause an internal imbalance, disrupt hormone function, and even be carcinogenic. Below is a complete list of ten of the the most harmful shampoo ingredients that you should keep an eye out for.

1. Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)

2. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)

3. Parabens

4. Sodium Chloride

5. Polyethylene Glycols (PEG)

6. Diethanolamine (DEA)

7. Triethanolamine (TEA)

8. Formaldehyde

9. Alcohol

10. Synthetic Fragrances
