What ingredients do you avoid when making your hair shampoo?

We formulate for our family and friends, so there's a few fussy ones to keep happy and lots of ingredients we are not comfortable using. Often product makers talk more about what is not in their products to distract consumers from the nasties that are in them. We don't use any ingredient that is classed as hazardous, and that's a high bar. Most hair shampoos are non-hazardous but nearly always contain hazardous ingredients. It's hard to believe but do your own research.

Check through our ingredient list. We prefer naturally derived, skin-friendly ingredients and use standard INCI names so you can easily do your own research. We are all about full transparency and no trickery. Rest assured, this formula contains no SLS, SLES, phosphates, parabens, phthalate, phenoxyethanol, fragrances, colours, palm oil, triclosan, synthetic preservatives or ingredients that are classed as hazardous.

Are your hair shampoos suitable to use on the face?

Yes, all our hair and scalp shampoos are suitable for use on the face and body. It's a premium high quality hair shampoo that doesn't contain the cheap and nasty ingredients most do. It's made with high-quality, skin-friendly and natural ingredients. And yes, you can even use it on the more delicate skin of the face and neck. The whole family will love this hair shampoo that is lovingly made for all skin types, ages or genders.

Is this hair and scalp shampoo pH balanced? And what does that even mean?

Yes, this hair and scalp shampoo is pH balanced to 5.5. Our skin's pH is about 5.5 too, which is slightly acidic. The pH scale is measured from 0 to 14 and indicates how acidic or alkaline a substance is.

We want to support healthy skin so it can retain moisture, maintain a strong microbiome and keep those annoying irritations away. Using pH balanced hair shampoo and body cleansers is a great way to do this.

Why don't you make different hair shampoos for different hair types?

We're all unique and have different hair and skin types. But, when you look closely at ingredient labels you'll notice there isn't much difference between the hair shampoo formulations for dry, oily, damaged and normal hair types. It's excellent marketing but doesn't really serve a practical purpose. With an excellent formula we don't beleive you need a shampoo for every hair type, just a little commonsense is required. If you're hair is really dirty or oily use a little more product. That's all.
