* Chemical Additives In Shampoo

Nearly all shampoos on the market contain at least two chemical ingredients, even "natural" shampoos: propylene glycol, and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Propylene Glycol is a "penetration enhancer" and it's the ingredient that makes hair feel silky; and SLS is a detergent that creates a nice lather of soapy bubbles when you mix it with water. Other common additives include alpha-hydroxy acids, formaldehyde (MDM and DMDM hydantoin), and methyl methacrylate. The reason manufacturers can include these and other chemical ingredients in "natural" shampoos is because there are currently no real restrictions the ingredients in shampoos and other hygiene and beauty products.

Dangers Of Chemicals In Shampoo

The dangers associated with these chemicals include skin and eye irritations, allergic reactions, headaches, and even potential impairment to internal organs such as the heart, liver, and brain as well as the immune system. Some chemical additives can increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun, thereby posing a higher risk for skin cancer. When different products are used together such as shampoo and conditioner, or shampoo and other hair care products, carcinogenic compounds can form causing further potential for health risks.
