Sulphate-Free


One of the most common ingredients found in shampoos is  sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) or sodium laureth sulphate. These sulphated ingredients are often used for hair cleansing, but they are considered by many consumers as being too aggressive to the hair because they remove the natural oils and dyes. Therefore, consumers are seeking more and more ingredient alternatives that provide a sulphate-free formulation and that deliver effective cleansing without the perceived negative effects of sulphates on the hair.

Like traditional shampoos, sulphate-free shampoos can keep the hair clean, nurtured, and meet the need of stronger, softer and shinier hair. They are also perceived as helping to maintain the colour of dyed hair. We offer an array of sulphate alternatives to meet the increasing consumer demand for sulphate-free options.
