So I was in the shower, shampooing my hair. I have about four or so different shampoos that I have tried or used. Being the inquisitive soul I am, as I was lathering up my body with soap, I was reading the ingredient list of one of the shampoos.
..glycerin...yadda yadda yadda...sodium laureth sulfate....sodium lauryl sulfate..
So I turned one of the other bottles around....same thing...what is this stuff? The third one said it didn't have those two things in it.
On a few of the sites I have been on point to both of those sulfates being suspicious as being possible carcinogens. Some of the studies are convoluted. But is something to be aware of.
And that was only two of about fifteen 'unknown' chemicals that were listed on the bottle.
I am sure if I spent a few hrs, I could map out every chemical in the first bottle, what it is, what it does...as anyone could.
But its just a lot easier to plop a blob of it in my oblivious hands and massage it in my wet hair, and sting my eyes ( might be from those sulfates that irritates membranes).
Rinse, repeat and be on my way ( I am being sarcastic).
It is amazing what a person can discover when they want to.
