Why choose chemical free shampoo?

It is a good idea to choose a chemical free shampoo. It is believed that shampoos which are free of chemicals are much healthier and beneficial to the hair. Many people choose shampoos without excessive chemicals because they don’t want to layer their hair with synthetic compounds. Natural hair products have less negative environmental impact and are well suited to an ecologically harmonious lifestyle, making them a favorite choice of vegetarians and vegans as well. Other consumers may choose chemical free products because of scalp sensitivity or allergies to synthetic products. Of course, the most popular reason to choose chemical free shampoo is because doing so will benefit the environment.

Natural Ingredients

Instead of using synthetic chemicals to clean and enliven hair, chemical free shampoos use a variety of essential oils, essences, and other botanical products to accomplish the same tasks the way nature intended. While many specific plants are chosen for their cleaning properties, ability to lighten or darken hair, or their natural strengths, others may be added for pleasant scents and light colors to make the shampoo attractive without artificial additives. Popular ingredients in chemical free products include:
-Aloe
-Rosemary
-Chamomile
-Lavender
-Mint
-Macadamia Nut
-Almond
-Apricot
-Burdock
-Sage
-Thyme
-Apple Cider Vinegar
-Eucalyptus
-Ginger
-Cranberry
-Avocado
-Coconut

Many plant extracts are combined into soothing or refreshing blends to add aromatherapy benefits to the natural products as well, making them a treat for the senses as well as the hair.

Issues to consider include:

-Is the shampoo bottle recyclable?
Tossing a shampoo bottle in a landfill can negate the benefits of avoiding artificial chemicals in the product.
-Is the shampoo concentrated?
Concentrated products last longer and use less water in manufacturing, and not as many bottles will be needed.
-How far must the product be shipped?
Shipping products around the world requires massive expenditures of fuel, which can overshadow the ecological benefits of avoiding chemicals in the shampoo.

Choosing chemical free shampoos is a way for many individuals to lessen their environmental impact while enjoying the light, refreshing blends of natural ingredients in their daily hair care routines. With a wide range of ingredients to choose from, nearly everyone can find a chemical free formula to meet their hair care needs and preferences and make them feel more in harmony with their world even while they enjoy beautiful hair.
