Natural-ingredient shampoos & conditioners?

I'm wanting to switch to a more natural shampoo/conditioner. I also don't want to spend a lot of money. (Under $10 a bottle preferably.) Has anyone tried ';Burts Bees'; or ';Jason'; products, and what did you think? Other recommendations welcome, too.Natural-ingredient shampoos %26amp; conditioners?
it was just yesterday i suffer from pantene.. so i changed to the olive oil shampoo.. i mean seriously.. after i bought it, i used it right away.. result. my head is not itchy anymore.. my hair is smooth as usual.. very good shampoo.. also, its organic.. good for oily, normal, dry hair.. it doesnt dry your hair as long as u condition it often.. and it doesnt have daily conditioner.. the conditioner is the shampoo itself.. after u shampoo, shampoo again and LEAVE 2-3 minutes.. seriously.. SUPER SMOOTH!!! recommendedNatural-ingredient shampoos %26amp; conditioners?

What's good shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotion w/ no alcohol ingredient?

I've been searching like mad for shampoo/cond./body wash etc., the ones that have fruit ingredients in them %26amp; no alcohol. Which brand is good? As far as body wash or skin products, I've used ones w/ marine algae (by Aquatanica) in it w/c is really good for my skin, but the product has been discontinued. What other brands do you know that have the same marine algae in it or fruit ingredients (without alcohol)??


Alcohol in these products just makes my hair/skin dry that's why I don't like it.What's good shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotion w/ no alcohol ingredient?
I use olive oil shampoo and conditioner, and it's all organic.


I just don't know if you can fiind it cause i got it at a salon storeWhat's good shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotion w/ no alcohol ingredient?
tRy it!
Google ';marine algae facial products';

How would I find out which ingredients are bad to have in soaps, shampoos , cosmetics, etc?

Is there some websites that I could look at to list all ingredients to avoid in shampoos, soaps, cosmetics? I'm trying to find natural and organic products, it seems that they make some now that are ';mostly natural'; but still contain some bad/chemical ingredients. Like Organix brand shampoos are better but still has bad stuff in it but it's hyped up to make u think it's all natural, same problem with Aveda . Anyway if you know what brands are completely natural, or you know where I could find out, websites, etc, please tell me. Thank you, I would appreciate any help.How would I find out which ingredients are bad to have in soaps, shampoos , cosmetics, etc?
There is a great book called ';Dying to look young';. I'm sorry I can't remember who wrote it. Makeup wise, I recommend a mineral powder. I sell Avon and I can tell you, the Avon brand of mineral makeup is total B.S. There are still preservatives in a lot of those so you have to really check the ingredients. I use Color Connection by Seven Arrows LLC. Its a Utah company but I think you can order it online. Most brands at herb stores (not just health food stores) are pretty good.How would I find out which ingredients are bad to have in soaps, shampoos , cosmetics, etc?
Hope this helps you鈾?Health food stores are a great place to shop for these items. (Whole Foods, Sprouts,Trader Joes)

  • What's a good natural shampoo that doesn't contain the ingredient ';sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate'; in it?

    And where could I get it? What's a good natural shampoo that doesn't contain the ingredient ';sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate'; in it?What's a good natural shampoo that doesn't contain the ingredient ';sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate'; in it?
    Yes, I read up about the SL and that crap is in almost everything lol I get my shampoo from the organic market. I get the Organix tea tree oil with mint because that's amazing for your scalp, it helps maintain the moisture in your scalp and keeps your hair really shiny and healthy...and best of all.. it's ORGANIC ;)





    So go to your nearest organic shop and pick one, I go to the one in Hoboken, not sure where you live but they will help you find the right one depending on your hair needs.What's a good natural shampoo that doesn't contain the ingredient ';sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate'; in it?
    The Body Shop is amazing for naturally inspired delicacies. The good thing is that this company is major and easily (usually) found in any somewhat recognizable mall. The Body Shop produces amazing products that are safe for the environment and fair trade (meaning farmer's don't get scammed.) Chemical products like sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate are completely banned from the stores. After using their shampoos for just one week, my hair is fresh, light and sooooo smooth! It smells fantastic too! Try The Body Shop, they have lots of different hair therapy selections. Enjoy! Hope I was of assistance...
    im pretty sure thats the waxy content?


    if im right, try organix. i love them alot, although it is $6 a bottle. you can find them at walmart.
    I don't know but I wanted to ask why it's better to have a sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate free shampoo?





    Maybe I'll want some too lol

    Why do they bother listing the ingredients on the back of shampoos, shower gels, perfumes etc?

    I can understand listing the ingredients on food products because we all generally know what they are: water, sugar, salt, vegetables, meats etc. We can check ingredients and pick items according to what we want or prefer to avoid. But what is the point of listing ingredients such as C1-2 Succinates/Hydroxyacrylates Copolymer, Sorbitol, Protonal Hydrocytene, Propylene Glycol, PPG-1-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether, Tetrasodium EDTA etc? Is anyone actually checking these ingredients before they buy a product?





    The ten points goes to the first person who correctly identifies the bogus ingredient.Why do they bother listing the ingredients on the back of shampoos, shower gels, perfumes etc?
    They put the ingredients on it because the law requires it. And yes there are people who check to see what is in the stuff before they buy it.





    As to what all those words on the bottle mean, it would take a rocket scientist or a chemist to understand that.





    The bogus ingredient is Protonal Hydrocytene. I'm guessing, but it's as good a guess as any.





    Addendum: Excellent, I sometimes read the labels just so I can see the strange words. I like reading new words.Why do they bother listing the ingredients on the back of shampoos, shower gels, perfumes etc?
    In a lot of products, water is a major ingredient. The other ingredients either add color or fragrance or is a preservative. The names sound complicated but can refer to things like formaldehyde, or alcohol which keep germ or fungal growth at bay. Shampoos that are specifically for dandruff/psoriasis control have a tar base that smells very strong. You would be surprised to know that some of the ingredients that you have listed are also found in some household cleaners. As consumers, companies assume the general public only listens to commercials as to what the skin/hair product will do. They don't count on you resourcing. Yes, it is true that ingredients must be listed on products by law. This way if you have an allergy to any chemical they cover themselves by stating it was on the product.
    Well, as others have already told you,


    #1) allergies ~ I personally am allergic to cocoa butter which is used in a lot of lotions, soaps, and tanning products. My husband is fructose intolerant and cannot have anything with ANY kind of sugar in it - real or artificial - he can only use Aspartame


    #2) it's the law because of reason #1








    took a while, but Protonal hydrocytene - no such thing --
    I used to check the labels faithfully back when they still added formaldehyde to shampoos. I didn't want to use a well documented carcinogen. But now that they don't use that any more I pretty much don't check shampoo or shower gel labels. But if another suspect ingredient is mentioned in the news or elsewhere at least with the ingredient labels being mandatory I'll have the option of looking out for that particular substance. That's my take on it anyway.
    I personally always read shampoo labels. I won't buy anything with sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate in it. I was losing my hair and those ingredients were the cause. They're in many popular shampoos. Many people know if they have problems with certain ingredients, and they DO read the labels.
    It is the law that all active and inactive ingredients be placed on products. At one time, people were putting all kinds of dangerous chemicals in dyes and shampoos. My grandad almost went blind trying to dye his hair way back in the olden days. It is for our own protection. We can always look up the words to see how that particular ingredient contributes to the product.
    At the hospital,they asked my wife to bring in all the cosmetics/soaps she uses to eliminate or confirm whatever chemical or substance she was intolerant to.


    Now she knows what to avoid,she can check all labelling on everything.


    Some people are allergic to simple herbs that lots of cosmetics contain
    Maybe because some people could be allergic to some of the stuff they use, i cant use any shower gels or soaps with any scent to it they will give me a rash and perfumes give me migraines, but i have to admit i never check the ingrediants. I just know what i can and cant use
    How about us that don't think they need to read the directions on the bottle of shampoo and conditioner, Last year I bought these bottle of both and I could feel this weirdest something in my hair, But dumb ole me kept right on using this shampoo and conditioner, It had oil beads in it and you were suppose to activate them by using a hair blow dryer, and I was letting my hair air dry
    Believe it or not, there might be someone out there that will drink the stuff. I've heard of people that drank after shave lotion, because they thought there was alcohol in. So I suppose they would like to know that. There are people that ';snuff'; spray paint.


    How about a good shot of pure lemon extract?
    Legally obliged to provide the ingredients for those people who need to know what they are putting on their heads. I don't know what all the ingredients are, but do know that I am allergic to chamomile which is often in lotions or shampoos.
    As you listed a bunch of different ingredients you probably understand that different people have different allergies, listing all that goes into a product will decrease the possibility of some one having issues because of a reaction.
    well what if someone is ellergyic (or however u wanna spell it) to an ingredient in the shampoo, whatever... and htey put it on, and they break out... and stuff.





    so if we stopped naming the ingredients, all the companies would be sued.
    Something to do with FDA regulations. I only read the ingredients in comparison to other brands. Since I am not smart at all I guess I can't compete for your 10 points, isn't that a shame?
    One reason is that it's the law. I can't stand anything with fragrance in it, so I read alot of labels. I have several types of allergies.
    well, incase you have an allergy to any of the ingredients.


    You wouldn't want to come out in red blotches or loose you hair would you?
    Bogus ingredient: Sorbitol.


    I am amazed that anyone can read the ingredients without a high powered magnifying glass.
    Actually the most annoying thing to me is I have to get a magnifying glass to read it!!!
    actually it is important some people are allergic to some of these products and could die so check
    I have no idea what those ingredients are, but I do know it is the law to post them.
    They want to make regular people like us feel stupid.
    cuz if they dont then we could sue them and wouldnt that be a shame

    Will Lice shampoo get rid of scabies?! It has the same active ingredient?

    Scabies drug contain : (A) lindane 1% + usnic acid 1% or (B)permethrin. Drug contain A must apply for 24 hours every 7 days. Two times only. Brush your infection skin with soft brush when you take a bath, then apply the zalf.


    Drug contain B, same do, but only for once / single dose.


    Take vitamin, scabies only affected people with bad nutrition.Will Lice shampoo get rid of scabies?! It has the same active ingredient?
    Yes you have to rub it over your entire body avoiding mucous membranes and the eyes. Put it liberally in the pubic area and leave it on for about 6 min. Then shower it off and I think you have to treat it like that a couple of times. Don't forget to treat the house and especially your bedding. All family members in the house should also be treated.Will Lice shampoo get rid of scabies?! It has the same active ingredient?
    I would not count on it--might work though. Although it is contagious it is NOT a emergency. (might feel like one, but it's not)





    I would go to regular Dr. during regular hours and get proper diagnoses and the proper prescription cream.





    My family had it and the prescription cream worked effectively. You need to treat the whole family or household. Washing bedding is a very good idea,but scabies is ';shared'; by skin to skin contact.





    I never heard of taking internal medication for this...I believe that answer was incorrect.





    Scabies is a spider-like parasite that lives, burrows, reproduces and dies under your skin. Once you use the cream, the itching may intensify as the dead body parts are what causes the most itching.
    See your doctor for a proper diagnosis for scabies, as they are contagious, and is usually treated with prescription cream, lotion or a tablet may also be prescribed.





    Lice shampoo may work but it may also cause skin irritation.
    I read the answers provided u from folks, about the scabies treatment. I just got diagnosed with scabies today, and did a lot of research on the internet concerning the medication, Elimite. Where lice shampoos are only 1 %. the lotion given for scabies ( permethrin) is 5 % and is therefore the only thing strong enough to kill the scaby mite. I dont believe there is anything you can take internally, to kill scabies. My druggist told me that Elimite is an excellent treatment, and is the no. 1 prescribed medication given from Doctors today for a scaby infestation. Good Luck, Loveyameanit,
    Check this site - lot's of info

    I'm not sure /call the pharmacy / in your area
    No, you need a medication you take internally.
    nope. go to the ER for meds. you are highly contagious and can spread this to everyone you see. reduce your contact with people.
