Shampoo seems like a harmless enough item but in reality, many shampoos contain dangerous chemicals that can be absorbed by your body. Parabens and sulfates are both commonly found in shampoo and interfere with the endocrine system. [1] With this reality staring us right in the face, it only makes sense to seek out healthier, all-natural options.
Shopping for shampoo and conditioner is like shopping for food – read the labels! Here's a few specific ingredients you need to look out for:
Organic shampoos and conditioners usually contain much safer ingredients. Tea tree is common and has been used for a long time to support scalp health and deter dandruff. Certified organic tea tree also has antiseptic elements that can aid in controlling naturally-occurring microbial levels that can result in different forms of scalp irritation.
Another popular ingredient in many organic shampoo and conditioner products is beta glucan. Beta glucan has immune-enhancing properties both internally and topically. [2] It helps to soothe inflamed cells of the scalp, which is beneficial for people who suffer from dry or itchy scalp.
Plant-based organic shampoo and conditioners offer a wealth of benefits for your hair and scalp that will be immediately noticeable. Organic products gently infuse your hair follicles and skin cells with natural minerals, herbal extracts, and oils. If you are looking for shampoos that stimulate, look for products made with aloe vera and coconut oil, as they naturally moisturize your scalp. If you need enhanced shine and moisture for your hair, organic shea butter is an important ingredient to look for in your organic shampoo.
