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 that we need to be mindful of. These synthetic ingredients are linked with everything from hair loss to severe allergic reactions to reproductive issues.

From 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 - there is a lot we need to be mindful of.

We need to go beyond labels such as paraben-free, sulfate-free or silicon-free and find out if our shampoo is actually 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 the most harmful ingredients hiding in these brands - including the seemingly safe ones.
