Why We Recommend Sulfate-Free Shampoo
The topic caused such a stir, and the demand grew so much that “sulfate-free shampoo” is now available in retail stores and used by hairdressers in their daily business.
For many years, the so-called sulfate family has been an integral part of hair and skin care products and toothpaste.

Sulfates are powerful, inexpensive synthetic cleaning agents commonly found in household cleaners and industrial degreasers for engines and factory floors.
If you haven’t considered using a plastic free shampoo before, here are seven reasons why you should look into alternatives:
1. Sulfates are harsh cleaning agents that attack and eventually strip the scalp’s natural oils. All this usually happens in connection with skin irritation or even irritation and a rash.
Our skin is our largest organ; its condition depends on that small amount of self-produced, natural oils to maintain its natural protective barrier.
This barrier also helps keep hair and scalp healthy, supple and balanced. This protective function is disrupted by the repeated removal of these oils, which cleaning agents such as sulfates are known to remove. This can lead to:
– dry and brittle hair
– Itchy, scaly skin and scalp and dermatitis
– Sulfate, especially SLS, is so aggressive that studies have shown it can aggravate existing atopic dermatitis (eczema).
None of the studies has ever tested the long-term effects of daily use of SLS or SLeS or even analyzed how it affects our well-being when shampoos are well worked in and absorbed into the scalp for several minutes.
2. Sulfate-free shampoo cleans hair just as well
Contrary to the general assumption, SLS-free shampoo is not necessarily less powerful; on the contrary! There is a common misconception that shampoos that lather well clean particularly well. A less lathering, natural-based shampoo is just as good, if not better, as it doesn’t contain harmful ingredients.
3. Sodium Laureth sulfate and ammonium laureth sulfate are harmful to the environment
5. Sulfates seem to damage coloured hair
To give an example of how effective/aggressive detergents sulfates are, we like to use the example of hair dyeing.

Perhaps everyone has already had at least one unsuccessful self-attempt or returned disappointed from a visit to the hairdresser and then tried to soften or over-dye the result and found out: It’s either difficult or over a long period or not at all.
On the other hand, sulfates easily remove the dye from the hair colour. The evidence for this is currently only a single case. The outer layer of the hair fibre appears to open, and the colour disappears. Even the product development director of L’Oréal Paris, whose product lines include several shampoos containing SLeS, has admitted that “sulfate-free shampoo are gentle on the hair fibre “*.
6. Be careful when using hair straighteners and the like.
There are also indications in comments on web forums such as naturallycurly.com that sulfates attack the surfaces of curling irons and flat irons.
7. Sulfate-free = harmless? What to look out for!
Shampoos that are sulfate-free and SLS-free tend to contain less harsh detergents but higher levels of conditioning ingredients that promote scalp health, smooth follicles, and restore hair’s natural shine. If you look at it from this side, shampoos with the note “sulphate-free” are a step in the right direction.
However, sulfate free shampoo bar can also mean that other harsh preservatives, fragrances, and other potential irritants are included. Therefore, always pay attention to the organic certification, which is usually a much more reliable measure that the shampoo formulation is entirely natural, i.e. without any exceptions.
