What is the difference between Organic shampoos and commercial shampoos?
First of all, Organic shampoos do not contain sodium laureth sulfate(SLS), a strong foaming agent found in commercial shampoos. SLS is a skin irritant and can dry out your scalp and hair. Secondly, Organic shampoos do not contain silicone wax(Dimethicone etc) that commercial shampoos use to coat hair shaft to make it smooth and soft. Accumulation of silicone wax on the scalp may cause flaking and itching. Your hair shaft may appear to be smooth when coated with the silicone, but may be brittle and dry underneath the wax. The true condition of your hair will be revealed when you use the Organic shampoo for 2 – 3 weeks. Thirdly, Organic shampoos contain nutrient-rich botanicals to nourish your scalp and hair. Commercial shampoos may contain some natural ingredients but are often very minimal in volume.
