The best sulfate-free shampoo (without SLS)

De best sulfate free shampoo is a eco-friendly shampoo which does not contain SLS and SLES or derivatives and is still at least as effective. The best sulfate-free shampoo also contains no parabens, silicones, and other synthetic or unnecessary additives. In addition, we believe that hair products such as shampoo and conditioner are also plastic-free cosmetics to belong. This applies to both microbeads and the packaging (zero waste cosmetics).

Are sulfates bad for hair and scalp? 

More and more people are wondering what synthetic ingredients do for hair, skin and health. And like what ingredients such as silicones, parabens and sulfates are. Fortunately, we are becoming increasingly aware of our health and more critical of the quality & sustainability of cosmetic products.

Why should you buy the best sulfate-free shampoo?

When you look at the purpose of sulfates, you could say that it is a good ingredient in shampoo. Because what are SLS and SLES used for? As an inexpensive way to effectively remove grease and grime. And it does. In addition, sulfates provide more foam and in combination with salt (!) the shampoo seems richer in composition.

Then what is the problem? Well, our scalp is naturally provided with a functional protective layer. And that is one of the most harmful properties of sulfates: it washes everything away (aggressively). So also the natural oils we need to keep our scalp and hair healthy and shiny. This is especially disastrous for sensitive skin or scalp eczema because it can cause irritations. By the way, in this case it is always better natural remedy for eczema to use.

In addition, it can make the hair dry and brittle - and nobody wants that :). Sulfate in shampoo weakens the outer (protective) layer of the hair. Which makes the hair more prone to damage caused by heat and other external factors. Also, especially as we age, our scalp needs more moisture to stay healthy. Sulfate in shampoo washes away the sebum that naturally moisturizes the hair and scalp.

Summarized; sulfates can cause:

• a dry or itchy scalp
• (and therefore dry and frizzy hair)
• an irritated scalp
• a faded hair color

For these reasons, it is best to choose a shampoo without SLS or SLES.
