Sulfate-free solid shampoo: what is it? To understand the appeal of sulfate-free shampoo, it's important to understand what this component is. It's a synthetic ingredient derived from sulfur, lauryl alcohol and petroleum jelly. There are dozens and dozens of more or less mild variations of sulfate on the market. The ones found in our classic shampoos are the most aggressive. These are sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate.
Sulfate-free shampoos: the disadvantages. Sulfate has the advantage of making the shampoo lather and giving an impression of cleanliness once rinsed. We tend to think that the more a product lathers, the better our hair is washed. Finally, the sulfate added to our shampoos allows us to buy them at the best price and feel that they are doing their job: cleansing. The presence of sulfate also makes hair shiny and healthy-looking. But only in the short term.
The benefits of sulfate-free shampoo. Yet lather is not often a guarantee of cleanliness, let alone quality. In the long term, sulfates weaken the scalp by reducing the hair's naturalkeratin. Studies are currently underway to prove the causal link between alopecia and sulfates. What's more, sulfates are said to be absorbed by our bodies, causing often irreversible damage to organs such as the liver. It's easy to see why keeping sulfates out of our hair is such a healthy and beautiful thing to do.
More specifically, using a sulfate-free organic solid shampoo will benefit those with dry hair. Sulfate has the bad habit ofabsorbing sebum from the scalp, drying it out. A process which, in some cases, even leads to the formation of unsightly dandruff.
