When it comes to our daily care products, such as shampoo, we all want the best for our hair and scalp. It can be difficult to understand the long list of ingredients, but one ingredient to look out for is SLS or SLES in shampoo. It is better to avoid these harmful sulphates.
What are SLS and SLES in shampoo?
SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) are powerful cleansers often added to shampoos because they are cheap and foam well.
Why avoid SLS and SLES in shampoo?
Although foam may seem positive, SLS and SLES do more harm than good to your hair and scalp. These chemical ingredients strip the natural oils from your hair and scalp, leaving them dry and irritated. This can lead to an itchy scalp, dandruff and even hair loss with excessive use.
