The ingredients in hair care products, The Good, the Bad

If you can read and understand what all ingredients in your shampoo and conditioner bottles congrats! You are one of a very small percentage of people who can do this. For the rest of us seem to go on blind faith that the manufacturers know what they are doing. But what are they? Below is an overview of some of the most common ingredients you'll see on these labels.

Sodium lauryl sulphate:

This substance is derived from coconut alcohols. It is a surfactant that is something that allows the oil to mix with water has a slight negative charge to it. It reduces the surface tension between it and water is used in shampoos for oily and normal to oily hair. Other surfactants, sodium lauryl ammonium sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, potassium coconut hydrolyzed collagen and disodium laureth sulfosuccinate.

Isopropyl Alcohol:

This substance is derived from petroleum and is a drying agent. The isopropyl alcohol should not be left on the scalp for too long as it can start taking the top layer of skin. This can leave the scalp susceptible infections.

Propylene glycol distearate:

This acid crystallises stearic acid and ethylene glychol gives your shampoo that the mother of pearl look and feel. This is a common thickening agent in hair dyes and shampoos and humidification effects on the hair and scalp.

Disodium EDTA:

This is a substance is a chelating agent that takes a look shampoo stable feel to it. This product, as do some of the others should not be left on the scalp for long, since it has the ability to penetrate deep into the skin that allows more chemicals potentially reach the bloodstream.

Cetearyl Alcohol:

Ceterayl or cetyl alcohol is made Coconut oil is used as emulsifier. This is what makes your hair feel like velvet. When the glycol distearate shampoo does look creamy and the pearl, as the cetearyl alcohol makes hair feel soft and silky.

The Good:

These ingredients do several things. They act as a detergent for cleaning dirt, oil and traces of hair, it provides conditioning for hair and foaming agent that makes us feel that we are really cleaning the hair and scalp. That might make your hair feel soft as velvet, absorb oils or make dry hair feel moist.

The Bad:

These are all chemicals that can be absorbed through the skin and hair. Many of the chemicals in petroleum products or alcohol-based shampoos are some of which the same products used to make antifreeze or garage floor cleaners to name a few.

The ugly:

There may be risks health effects associated with all chemicals above. All have the potential to be absorbed into the scalp and into the bloodstream where they can be deposited in major organs such as brain, eyes, heart, lungs, kidneys and liver, where they remain for some time causing damage. A needs to be especially aware that children of all ages avoid these chemicals in the eyes because that can cause permanent damage potential. Skin irritation or allergic reactions can occur with prolonged use and in some cases (such as Disodium EDTA) may have carcinogenic effects in the body.

More people are health conscious about processed foods and avoid them, but what all these chemicals? They are processed as well and although all they can be derived from nature, processing of changes in chemical structure to the point at which the body does not recognize what it is.

If you decide to use these ingredients, all I can suggest is that the shampoo and rinse quickly to avoid the absorption of as much as possible. Better still, they found chemicals shampoos and conditioners free cleaning and avoid contamination altogether!

  • Manila Coco TM - VCO Soap - A handmade shampoo bar crafted of Manila Cocos certified Organic Food Grade 100% Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) with infused natural botanical essential oils of Ylang-Ylang and Sandalwood. Natural and organic cleanser that moisturizes, soothes, and eventually restores hair and scalp as nature intended. ... resulting in an aura of calmed tension and increases sensuality.
  • PRODUCT BENEFITS : The whole shampoo bar has 3-way benefits for any type of scalp or hair : 1. Removes unwanted oils, dirt, skin particles dandruff, and other built-up contaminants, without stripping out so much as to make the hair unmanageable, while it soothes irritated scalp; 2. Revitalizes the natural scalp oil (sebum) that lubricates the roots, thereby, volumizes and shines the hair healthy lush. 3. Revives dulled space.
  • SOAP MAKING METHOD : By slow cold process, our proprietary soap making method by the House of Bali SPA allows the goodness of our natural ingredients to function in its full natural course, gentle and unspoiled manner. ... Unlike mass-produced commercial shampoos, with lots of synthetic harsh chemicals and preservatives harmful to the scalp and hair, our VCO shampoo S O A P technique is simplified ph balanced. Fats from edible Virgin Coconut Oil react with lye as the essential oils of Ylang-Ylang and Sandalwood are added at light trace as the mixture thickens, and steered until it is completely saponified. Extra glycerin (humecant) is retained as natural skin softener-moisturizer. Then, it is poured into molds and left to harden before cutting into bars. ... ... This system is so much artisanal that it takes about 2 6 weeks to settle cure a dry-rack batch. Yet, it goes through our modern GMP/quality control procedures to avoid contaminants, and later be ready for use. ... ... Reputable dermatologists approved all our oils as non-comedogenic : does not clog skin pores, but rather protects its natural scalp barriers and nourishes hair. No toxic transfats, non-hydrogenated; not-altered, not-fractionated but only virgin coconut oils and non-synthetic essential oils. In numerous skin patch testing, they have validated these oils on human volunteers of varying skin types, colors, and age-tones. ... No animal (lard/tallow) oils, no animal testing.
  • INGREDIENTS : Manila Cocos 100% Virgin Coconut Oil comes from organic nuts (cocos nucifera) and oil processing certified by Ecocert of Germany. [Not from copra-based, solvent-cleaned coconut oil.] It acts as emollient, super-moisturizer provides the bubbly lather as it cleanses hair roots and follicles, soothes and heals the scalp, and adds luster to hair. ... Our Ylang-Ylang Essential Oil (cananga odorata) from the flower plant is tonic : clarifies, cleanses as it soothes scalp irritation. ... Our Sandalwood Essential Oil (santalum album) from the tree is antiseptic, and also clarifies, cleanses and protects hair and scalp. Combined, these two elements relieve stress as the scents calm tension, lift negative moods and increase sensuality. ... ... As a base or carrier oil, we do NOT use olive oil because it is too soft, nor palm oil because it is too hard. Virgin coconut oil is just right for natural soap bars. We do NOT use a cocktail of other seed oils (castor, almond, avocado, jojoba, cocoa, shea) because these just replicate the cleansing and moisturizing functions of each other. ... not to mention the unnecessary added costs. Virgin coconut oil does a better job with a supper lather and milky creaminess to boot. In all, our House of Bali SPA Oils are certified non-comedogenic (non-pore clogging) by independent dermatologists, and skin-patch validated. Both essential botanical oils of ylang-ylang and sandalwood are certified non-synthetic, sourced from reputable overseas organic suppliers.
  • PRODUCT FORM ADVANTAGES : Our shampoo bar is perfect for frequent washing as it economizes. ... as opposed to spill-bound liquid shampoo in bottles. Its solid form gradually dissolves to allow its ingredient phyto-nutrients and antiseptics to function fully, and the healing of the impaired scalp hair to take place with time. It fits the palm grip for easy scrub and much more convenient than messing about with bottles and pumps. This shampoo bar is not for the hurried individual, although, it also suits well for those traveling, or off-home use in pool, gym, sports club or camp with none of the excess throw-away packaging to pollute the environment.
