Surveys show at least 50% of women believe they have sensitive skin!
After being told by an engineer, (who new heaps about chemicals and additives), that I should only use pure soap (like Sunlight) to wash my hair and not colour or perm my hair, I have been vigilant in looking for natural products for my hair. Products which would not harm my skin.
After all they put patches on ones skin to stop smoking!!
Eight out of ten shampoos sold in Australia still contain 'sulfate' cleaners like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which researchers warn can produce a dry, itchy scalp and dandruff as well as corrosion of the hair follicles leading to hair loss. Others contain olefi sulfonates, which may be even more irritant. A popular alternative to SLS, its cousin sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), undergoes a chemical process which makes it a little less irritant but may leave it contaminated with 1.4 dioxane.
Most at risk are those with a recognised skin condition or just dry, red or itchy skin or scalp, infants, chemotherapy patients and the elderly. Sufferers of multiple chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue or allergies may also want to avoid some cosmetic ingredients.
So now I have found Al'chemy from the The Purist Company, where they don't use any of the 'nasties' - no cheap sulfate cleansers, no ethoxylates and no toxic preservatives. Their shampoos and conditioners are just great for all types of hair and conditions.
Mannatech Inc. also has scientists at the cutting-edge of nutritional science. Glyconutrients are necessary for optimal health. Glyconutrients are generally missing from our diet but essential for health and well-being in all humans.
