Our shampoo contains no sulfates, pthalates, parabens or synthetics silicones.  sulfates are commonly used as cleansing agents in shampoos. However, sulfates are known to strip the hair of its natural oils and can cause dryness and irritation. Parabens are also commonly used as preservatives in shampoos, but they have been linked to

hormonal disruptions and potential carcinogenic effects. Phthalates are another class of chemicals that are often used in fragrances and as plasticizers, but they have been linked to reproductive and developmental toxicity.

Using the ingredients mentioned in the shampoo for hair growth instead of sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, which are considered harmful, provides a safer and healthier option for the hair and scalp. All the ingredients mentioned have been approved by the FDA and CIR for use in cosmetics, making them safe for use in shampoos. Additionally, the soothing and antifungal properties of peppermint and costus oil, along with the nourishing and conditioning properties of argan oil and polyquaternium, make this shampoo a great option for individuals with C3 and C4 hair. The biotin in the shampoo also promotes hair growth and strengthens the hair shaft.
