What’s wrong with commercial shampoos?
Commercial shampoos are often detergents that strip the hair entirely and then use chemical additives to correct the problems they create. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate, often manufactured from petroleum, are harsh detergents added to create foam as you shampoo. The same substances occur in car washes, engine degreasers, and garage floor cleansers. If you experience eye or scalp irritation, or tangled hair after shampooing, sodium sulfates are a likely cause.
Two other petroleum derivatives, Propylene Glycol (PG) and Butylene Glycol (BG), work to deliver shampoo formulas, but they do so by soaking into our skin and debilitating the protein and cellular structures there. Consider whether you want a substance on your hair that can remove barnacles from boats and is found also in industrial-strength antifeeze.
Check your commercial shampoos also for any variety of parabens (methyl, ethyl, propyl, or butyl). These chemicals extend the life of bottled shampoos by limiting microbial growth, but they have a negative effect on our natural hormone production. Because they are estrogenic, our exposure to them may be a link to breast cancer.
For further avoidance of cancer-related agents, you will want to be on the alert for any of the synthetic colors and dyes. They are shown in animal studies to be carcinogenic. These additives carry the label FD&C or D&C followed by the name of a color and then a number, such as FD&C Red No. 6.
Carcinogenic as well are Diethanolamine (DEA) and Triethanolamine (TEA), used as emulsifying and foaming additives. It is the ammonia in their chemistry that delivers the toxicity. Ammonia is also capable of causing eye irritations, other allergic reactions, and, paradoxically, dry hair and skin.
