GO SULFATE AND PARABEN-FREE!

For strong strands & a healthy scalp!

Have you seen a bottle labeled “Paraben Free”? I’m sure you’ve heard of Sulfate-free Shampoos! 

So what’s the whole “Paraben & Sulfate Free” trend after all? Why does everyone go gaga when they see a haircare brand going “paraben & sulfate-free”? One min… What’s Paraben in the first place? Actually, I have no clue what sulfate does too!

.

.

Yes! We hear you! There are tonnes of questions in your mind and we have the answer to all your questions down below! 

So let’s tackle the 1st and most important question:

WHAT’S PARABEN? WHAT’S SULFATE? 

Paraben is a synthetic chemical that enhances the shelf life of your beauty products. Yes! They act as preservatives to the formulation in your beauty bottles. Have you ever noticed the expiry date on your moisturizer? It’s a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 2 years. (Sometimes, even more!) Have you ever noticed your shampoo never gets bad, despite surpassing the expiry date? How’s that possible? PARABEN.

So here’s what Sulfate is- DETERGENT! Yup, that’s all it is! It’s detergents, surfactants, or whatever you may want to call it..found in your wash-off treatments that give you the rich foamy effect!

SO PARABEN AND SULFATE SEEM TO BE GOOD FOR OUR LOCKS.

Umm….no. In fact, NOT AT ALL! Recent studies show that Parabens can do more harm than good. Parabens in skincare are easily absorbed in the scalp. They may accumulate in the body, causing potential hazards! Studies show that they may be a cause of breast cancer in women and reduce the hormones in men! Other studies show that they may cause complications in birth too! Yikes! That’s nasty! 

Yes, nasty for us and the environment! When Parabens are used in wash-off treatments, they go down the drainage system that eventually reaches the sea, causing harm to animals too!

Sulfate looks bad because of the word “detergent” obviously! It seems lil’ too harsh for the strands! And rightly so! They may cause severe scalp and eye irritation over a period of time. The foamy lather may make you feel squeaky clean, but trust me, it has just over-dried your hair!

SO HOW DOES THIS AFFECT MY HAIR?

To sum it all up!

> It causes hair breakages

> Excessive dryness

> Flaky scalp

> Itchy scalp due to its harsh properties!

> And potential health hazards!

(I am trying to scare you, but let’s face the reality!)

SO WHAT SHOULD I DO TO PREVENT THIS?

As I say: Turn & Learn!

Don’t just believe what the front packaging claims! Flip the bottle and read the ingredients list behind- that’s where the truth lies!

If you see words like:

• Methylparaben
• Ethylparaben
• Propylparaben
• Butylparaben
• Isopropylparaben
• Isobutylparaben
• Benzylparaben

You know the product has paraben in them!

If you spot words like:

• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) 
• Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)

You can be certain that there is Sulfate in there!

SO WHAT KIND OF HAIR CARE PRODUCTS HAVE PARABEN AND SULFATE?

> HAIR OILS 

> SHAMPOOS

> CONDITIONERS

> SERUMS 

> HAIR STYLING SPRAYS

> HAIR GELS & MORE!

UGH! READING THE INKEY LIST IS LABORIOUS. CAN YOU JUST GIMME A LIST OF BRANDS THAT DON’T USE THESE NASTIES?!!

Yes of course! Here you go!
