Why do we ban Parabens, Silicones, Sulfates, Petroleum Derivatives and Perfumes from our skincare products?

Ingredients We Avoid in Shampoos and Hair Products
Some shampoos and conditioners contain ingredients we try to avoid because they can be harmful to health or to the hair. Here are the main ones, explained simply:

Parabens

• Why They're Used: They help preserve the product by preventing bacteria.
• Problem: They can interfere with hormones in the body and accumulate in the skin, which isn't good for health.

Silicones

• Why They're Used: They make hair soft, shiny, and help detangle.
• Problem: They create a coating around the hair that blocks hydration and can make hair dry. They also linger in the environment, which is harmful to nature.

QUATs (Softening Agents)

• Why They're Used: To detangle and soften the hair.
• Problem: They can cause irritation and, like silicones, block hydration. They're also bad for rivers and oceans.

Sulfates

• Why They're Used: They help shampoos foam well to clean hair.
• Problem: They're too harsh, strip natural oils, dry out hair, and can cause itching.

Petroleum Derivatives (like Vaseline)

• Why They're Used: They make hair shiny and keep it moisturized.
• Problem: They prevent hydration from entering, which can leave hair dry and heavy. They come from petroleum, which pollutes the environment.

Fragrance

• Why It's Used: To give the product a pleasant scent.
• Problem: Some fragrances can trigger allergies, itching, headaches, and may hide unhealthy chemicals.

Conclusion
While these ingredients are effective, some can pose health risks and contribute to pollution. That's why many people prefer natural products that don't contain these ingredients.
