Let’s talk about our toxic shampoo with links to hair loss, skin burns, severe allergies, cancer and more.

Detoxing our life begins with understanding what we are putting on our body every single day. What’s inside our shampoo matters. Sadly, our daily shampoo has no shortage of harsh chemicals and toxins to be mindful of. These synthetic ingredients are linked with everything from hair loss, severe allergic reactions, reproductive issues and unknown long term health effects. Toxic ingredients in shampoos include Sodium Laureth Sulfate (& the Ethylene Oxide carcinogen it might be contaminated with), Benzyl Salicylate, DMDM Hydantoin, and a long list of other preservatives, synthetic colors & fragrances.

We need to go beyond labels such as paraben-free, sulfate-free or silicon-free and find out if our shampoo is actually safe and nourishing for our hair! Because if not, what’s it doing in our home anyways? It’s a constant cat and mouse game between consumers and the cosmetic companies, who try to stay a step ahead of consumer awareness via savvy copywriting. So, below I go shampoo by shampoo to uncover harmful ingredients present in these products hiding behind false advertising.
