Today’s article will be useful for those who monitor hair health and are looking for a good shampoo. Although you can look for it almost constantly.
Depending on our age, the seasons and the weather outside, the rhythm of life and our internal state, we change, and accordingly our hair changes its needs. So it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to choose the perfect shampoo for all times.
We are talking about a product that stands apart, a natural shampoo without sulfates and parabens. I’ll definitely write an article about “good” and “bad” ingredients in hair products, and whether it’s worth bothering with, but for now, very briefly:
Shampoo without SLS, what does it mean?
In any product intended for washing anything, the main component is the “cleaning component”, which is surfactants - surfactants.
They are conventionally divided into more “useful” and “harmful”, where the group of “harmful” is represented by:
- SLS - Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate);
- SLES - Sodium Laureth Sulfate (Sodium Laureth Sulfate).
It is these ingredients that can cause skin irritation and itching, allergic reactions and other diseases. Their presence makes the ends dry and brittle and can lead to dandruff and hair loss.
Although the exclusive harmfulness of SLS is a rather controversial issue, especially in relation to Sodium Laureth Sulfate, it is quite possible to choose a decent shampoo with SLES, but this is a topic for another conversation.
Shampoo without sodium laureth sulfate and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is highly recommended for use by people with skin diseases, a tendency to allergies, as well as children and those who see that their hair care needs to be changed.
I am much calmer about the components that we wash off from the skin than about them being in toothpaste, where the chances of being “ingested” are high. However, I have varied experience using organic hair washing products, both negative and very positive, and I will leave a list of them and reviews of some of them about shampoos without sulfates and parabens. Some of them have not yet been tested, but have long been firmly established on my “wish list”.
Which shampoo without sulfates and parabens to choose
Based on my experience, I can say that no matter how much you would like to, it is not possible to purchase only suitable products; even the most popular shampoos that have delighted customers for many years may not be suitable for you personally.
Therefore, until you have decided which components your hair needs, I suggest three pre-purchase rules:
- Verified point of sale: pharmacy, well-established store, including online.
- Reviews for this product in the online store itself or reviews on websites. This is not a panacea, nor is it an indicator of the presence of negative reviews. By reading them, you can understand what complaints the majority make and, if, for example, the shampoo dries out, then those with dry skin will refuse it, and those with oily skin can safely try it.
- Select a shampoo in advance, focusing on reviews and feedback from beauty bloggers, especially those who are close to you in terms of appearance parameters, for example, skin type. This is very good way and some of the shampoos from today’s article were chosen in exactly this way.
So, all the shampoos listed below will be free of Sodium lauryl sulfate, Sodium laureth sulfate, Coco sulfate (another of the undesirable components), parabens and similar harmful substances.
Shampoos without sulfates and parabens, list
The first group is those that can be purchased without problems in the iHerb store. I'll start with the shampoos that I bought and will buy again, they are so good.
1. With Biotin, Thickening Shampoo, Citrus Squeeze from Madre Labs.
2.Moisturizing, Smooth As Silk, Deep Moisture Shampoo.
I loved this line even more than the previous product with biotin. It really has the ability to moisturize, which is very noticeable on dry hair ends. I shared my impressions about him in the article.
3. Detox, Shine Repair, Grapefruit, Shampoo from Beautiful Nutrition brand.
Shampoo with a very good composition and the same reviews. Apparently that’s why it’s often out of stock; there’s no way to put it in the parcel during formation. Update: since it completely disappeared from the iHerb pages, I have removed the link for now.
Cost: $9.22 for 388 ml.
4. Natural Hawaiian Shampoo, Real Repair, Cocoa Butter by famous brand Alba Botanica.
Perhaps for me and those whose hair quickly becomes oily, there will be too much oil in the composition and it will make the hair greasy, but if I don’t try, I won’t know)) But there is a chance of a beneficial effect on dry ends.
Several shampoos presented on the iHerb website, chosen thanks to reviews of beauty bloggers whom I read and whose opinions I respect.
5. Giovanni, 2chic, Ultra-Sleek Shampoo, Brazilian Keratin & Argan Oil.
It is especially worth paying attention to those who have oily hair. With a high-quality composition, it rinses well and does not tangle the hair without hiding the volume (judging by the reviews and description). A very popular product on iHerb, it is also quite often out of stock.
6. Shampoo with beer, mint and caffeine Invigorating Shampoo Malted Mint from Bröö.
It is definitely impossible to pass by a product with unusual components, especially if the product has proven itself not only from the “avant-garde” side. This shampoo is based on craft beer.
Beer has long been used not only in hair care; in the Soviet Union, curlers were applied to hair soaked in it, and it fixed curls for a long time, providing additional beneficial effects. Because beer is rich in B vitamins and proteins. Peppermint and caffeine provide additional stimulation to hair follicles.
Soft organic ingredients are responsible for washing the hair; for oily and combination hair, there can be one minus - weak hair washing. You may need to alternate with “stronger” shampoos and consider purchasing deep-cleansing shampoos or scrubs.
7. For dandruff from Jason Natural, Dandruff Relief All Natural Hair & Scalp Therapy System Dandruff Shampoo.
I mentioned it in an article about dandruff, or rather about that. I’m going to buy it because, apparently, due to adolescence, my youngest daughter’s skin has become very susceptible to inappropriate components, and she reacts to some shampoos with dandruff.
It contains colloidal sulfur and salicylic acid, one of the main helpers for combating it. According to reviews, it copes with its task remarkably well.
Also suitable for treating more serious problems of dermatitis and psoriasis of the scalp.
Price: $9.96 for 355 ml.
The easiest way to buy shampoo without sulfates and parabens is in the iHerb online store, so the vast majority good funds exactly from there. I think fans of organics are very familiar with it, if you haven’t shopped there yet, I recommend it, the store is rich not only in natural cosmetic products, but also food, household chemicals, dietary supplements, sports nutrition and so on.
Now about those that are not on iHerb. For me, buying them is problematic; despite civilization, you still can’t buy them in every city. The online option is sometimes also not a panacea; not all online stores deliver products to us or deliver them under unacceptable conditions.
Shampoos, which are available in many well-known online stores such as Feelunique. When the opportunity arises, I will give direct links, apparently they deserve it since the products have very good reviews.
9. Shampoo from a brand that everyone probably knows - Schwarzkopf. Bonacure BC Color Save Shampoo.
Suitable for colored hair, does not contain sulfates, but with keratin. I’ve put off the purchase for now, because I haven’t dyed my hair for a long time, but I know that someday I’ll still want to) And a good sulfate-free shampoo for colored hair is not so easy to find.
All hair products from this manufacturer claim to have good natural ingredients, and shampoos more often than others are leaders in all sorts of “Tops” of natural products. I plan to try several different shampoos, so I didn’t single out any in particular.
Price range depending on volume from $3.50 per 75 ml. up to $17 for 500 ml.
And a little about the shampoos we tried but didn’t like too much.
It must be said that the absence of “bad” ingredients does not necessarily equal a delicious result; sometimes it turns out quite the opposite. The most popular organic shampoo on iHerb, a leader for several years now (!), not only did not cause delight, but was not even fully used.
1. This is Biotin B-Complex with biotin from Avalon Organics. With an incredibly long composition, the like of which I have never met, consisting entirely of useful things and herbs, he, from my soft, obedient hair, managed to make a “straw stack”, looking in the mirror I remembered the song “Red-red, freckled...” I didn’t like it at all, but tell me I’m still planning to talk about it in more detail.
It should be noted that many natural shampoos do not cause much enthusiasm, especially with products that are sold in regular off-line stores.
2. Among such “good guys” I can include shampoo from Natura Siberica, I tried several shampoos, not bad, but they didn’t achieve excellent results.
3. By the way, the shampoo purchased on iHerb from Aubrey Organics performed exactly the same way. He didn’t make straw out of his hair, but I personally didn’t like him as much as Giovanni. More.
4. The Belarusian hair products from the Organic line from Belit, which were easily accessible for me to purchase, also did not please me.
I approached the choice responsibly, bought all the products in this line except for the elixir oil, and as a result, practically did not use anything to the end. My hair was poorly washed; the mask and leave-in product weighed it down. I had to throw it away, although I won’t say that the product cost just a penny.
I hope the article will help you better understand which shampoos without sulfates and other “harmful substances” are worth choosing.
P.S. Good shampoos with good ingredients that I come across and that I buy and try, or really want) will be added to the article.

The development of the cosmetics industry has naturally led to a fashion for everything natural. Particularly noteworthy are the increasingly popular shampoos without sulfates and parabens, the abundance of which requires a more thorough understanding of which products are best to use.
Only by studying the compositions of hair care products can you realize the danger of chemical components added there to improve cleaning properties and extend shelf life.And you can see the difference between the effect of a standard product and one that does not contain harmful impurities in practice by the appearance and health of the hair.
The following substances in skin care products are especially dangerous:
- Parabens that ensure the safety of products. They are based on esters that protect the skin from the action of fungus. These components can accumulate in the body and cause cancer.
- Sulfates, produced from oil, in addition to their destructive effect on hair and skin, cause allergies.
- Dyed hair loses color and shine; the effect of using therapeutic keratin for hair is reduced.
- The protective fat layer existing on the scalp is corroded, which leads to a constant “oily hair effect” and daily washing.
- Dandruff, dermatitis, and chronic hair loss appear.
Benefits of natural shampoos
Organic-based cosmetics act as a safe alternative to sulfate shampoos. There is a common myth that natural shampoos do not wash hair properly.
PManufacturers add special substances produced from coconut oil and glucose:
- lauret sulfosuccinate;
- lauril glucoside;
- cocoglucoside.
The names of these components sound threatening, but their gentle action will dispel all doubts about their organic origin.
Among the undoubted advantages of sulfate-free shampoos:
- Gentle effect on the pH balance of the skin, moisturizing and soothing the skin.
- There is no chance of dandruff.
- Safe for the health of children of any age.
- The use of natural shampoos enhances the effect of hair balms and masks.
- Sulfate-free products are environmentally neutral.
Shampoos that do not contain sulfates do not produce a lot of foam, but this does not affect their cleaning ability. To maximize the effect of such a product, you need to leave it on your hair a little longer before rinsing it off with water.
There are also natural preservatives in nature, the raw materials for the production of which are plants.
These substances have active antibacterial and antifungal effects and are widely used in organic cosmetics:
- Essential oils , which suppress the activity of microbes: lavender, thyme, cloves, roses, juniper and many others. Plant esters are capable of preventing the growth of pathogenic microflora for a long time.
- Bee products. The phytoncides contained in honey, propolis and wax have antiviral and bacteriostatic properties.
- Sea salt, which prevents the growth of bacteria.
- Sour berries such as cranberries, lingonberries and blueberries are loaded with benzoic acid, which is harvested in the laboratory and injected into cosmetics as an antimicrobial agent.
The list of natural “substitutes” can be continued. Their main advantage: a complex of useful qualities that have a positive effect on health and beauty. Accordingly, since organic-based shampoos usually have a capacious composition, their effect on hair and skin is difficult to overestimate.

In addition to the undoubted advantages of using natural shampoos, there are some conventions that should be remembered:
- In order for the hair to be thoroughly washed and the active ingredients of the composition to have time to act, it is necessary to apply the product twice during the washing procedure. After the second application, leave on hair for 2-3 minutes, then rinse. If there is an abundance of styling products on your hair, a third application may be necessary.
- Due to the natural origin of most of the components of the product, it is better to store it away from high humidity and temperature changes, that is, not in the bathroom.
Some shampoos are stored in the refrigerator in the summer heat.
- Shampoos with natural ingredients are perfect as a base for homemade medicinal masks. Regardless of the recipe, a small amount of shampoo is added to the mixture for better distribution through the hair and subsequent rinsing.
- When purchasing shampoo, you need to pay close attention to the expiration date and storage conditions in the store. Such products are not displayed in display cases exposed to direct sunlight.
How to make natural homemade shampoo
If time allows and you want to experiment, you can use recipes for making homemade shampoos:
- Mustard based
Mustard powder is diluted with warm water to the consistency of sour cream. The resulting solution is distributed over the hair with massage movements and washed off after a minute. Then the hair is rinsed with water with added lemon juice to neutralize mustard aroma. This shampoo stimulates hair growth.
- Gelatin based
Two egg yolks beat together with a tablespoon of gelatin. Should be applied to damp hair. To enhance the effect, you can wrap your head for half an hour. Gelatin shampoo thickens the hair, giving delightful volume to the hairstyle. It also creates a lamination-like effect.
- Dry shampoo.
You can use talc, corn starch, or potato starch as dry shampoo. Gently apply a small amount of product to dry hair, section by section. After the scalp and hair are completely powdered, you need to wait five minutes and comb your hair. This shampoo is only suitable for very blonde hair.
- Pea shampoo
Peas crushed in a coffee grinder are steamed with hot water overnight. The next day, the mixture is applied to the head like a mask. Wash off in the usual way.
- Clay shampoo
The clay paste is applied to damp hair and left for a few minutes. Then rinse with warm water. It is also practiced to wash hair with water in which clay is diluted: a tablespoon of clay per liter of water. Such water must be poured into a basin, because... You need to rinse your hair several times.
Despite some nuances in using natural cosmetics, when choosing a hair care product, the choice must be made towards naturalness and safety. Only in this case the result will be both beauty and health.
The benefits and use of organic shampoos - in the video
Review of some popular natural shampoos:
Sulfate-free shampoos and their benefits:
Sulfate-free shampoos are becoming mega popular. And this is not just another fashion trend. Such products are actually effective and safe. Let's figure out what exactly their advantages are, and whether there are weak sides. We will also learn how to choose and use such products. But first, let's decide whether they are so scary sulfates and what they are.
SLS sulfates in shampoos: what is it and how does it work?
This abbreviation means the presence of sulfuric acid salts. Manufacturers of cosmetics and household chemicals have been widely using these additives since the beginning of the last century.
There are two main reasons for this:
Minimum investment;
Maximum effect.
Interacting with water sulfate oxidizes and forms abundant foam. Sulfuric acid minerals do an excellent job of removing any contaminants. Therefore, such compounds are added to cleaning products, toothpaste, gels, etc.
Why are these substances bad? The problem is that the active ingredients, while cleansing the scalp and curls, destroy the hair structure and the protective layer of the skin. Experts have come to the unequivocal conclusion that long-term use of sulfates causes... The remaining substances cannot be completely washed off; they have a detrimental effect on the epidermis and thin the follicles.
The negative effects of sulfates on hair are as follows:
- Irritation, peeling;
– Allergic reactions;
– Dryness, weakening of the cuticle, keratin fibers;
– Increased electrification of the hairstyle;
– Increased dandruff formation;
– ;
– Washing out paint;
– Rapid hair contamination.
Innovative cosmetic products are supplemented with ingredients that neutralize the harmful effects of sulfates. However, this is not the best alternative. If you care about the health of your scalp and curls, use sulfate-free hair shampoos .
More about them below, but for now let’s finish with salts. When choosing hair care products, avoid the following labels on packaging:
SLES;
ALS;
ALES;
SLS.
Sulfate-free shampoos: principle of action
A natural question arises: if the function of salts is to cleanse the skin and hair, then how do formulations without such substances cope with this? Sulfate-free shampoos contain natural cleansing ingredients. This replacement is softer and more delicate. The most common types of organic matter are:
Betaine- a herbal supplement that increases the protective properties of hair. Source: sugar beet.
Lauryl sulfoacetate- an organic substance obtained from coconut or palm oil. It is a soaping agent.
Monosodium glutamate- natural antioxidant.
Lauryl sulfo betaine– a natural component that forms foam.
Cocamidopropyl betaine- natural antiseptic and antistatic.
Decyl glucoside. Source: cornstarch and coconut oil. Promotes gentle cleansing scalp and hair.
These and other natural ingredients provide gentle care. But before choosing one or another option, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the specific advantages and disadvantages of such products. An individual approach is important. Consider the characteristics of your hair, skin type, lifestyle, frequency of use of gels and varnishes, and other nuances.
Sulfate-free shampoos: pros and cons
First, let's talk about what you will lose by choosing natural ingredients in your shampoo.
Disadvantages of sulfate-free shampoo
Less foam.
Let's remember what we said at the beginning: minerals foam well, and shampoos without such active elements, on the contrary, form a minimum of foam.
Inability to wash off silicone without leaving a residue.
If you intensively use gels and varnishes, then be prepared that a sulfate-free product will not cope with 100% cleansing.
Disappearance of volume.
The mop will no longer be as fluffy as when using sulfate-containing washing cosmetics.
Ineffective fight against dandruff.
The gentle action of organic matter is not capable of destroying the fungus. In such situations, complex treatment is needed.
Speaking about the disadvantages of sulfate-free shampoos, it is necessary to mention such an issue as financial and time expenses. Natural products are always more expensive than chemicals, this is well known. The consumption of such a product is also higher, and it takes more time to wash your hair, especially if we're talking about about thick and long hair.
The gentle effects of organic shampoos will not be noticeable immediately. You will notice that the artificial shine and volume of your hair will disappear. This can be called adaptation. Restoring curls and scalp is a long process. Be patient, and a month or two after using this shampoo, enjoy healthy and beautiful hair.
Pros of sulfate-free hair shampoo:
Completely washed off, do not cause irritation or allergies;
Do not destroy the protective layer of the skin, follicles and cuticles;
Nourish and strengthen the skin and hair follicles;
Do not wash off coloring pigments;
Restores acid balance and generally improves the health of hair and skin;
Improve hair growth;
They have a long-lasting cleansing effect - the curls do not get greasy for a long time and become less dirty;
They have no contraindications;
They are distinguished by the absence of strong aromas.
It is highly recommended to use sulfate-free shampoos after keratin straightening. Since products containing sulfuric acid minerals wash out the elements necessary for straightening hair. If you wash your hair with a sulfate-containing composition, the effect after the procedure will simply disappear.
Features of using sulfate-free shampoos
So you've decided to go organic. detergents. What do you need to know about use? We have already mentioned the rather long recovery period. Since natural ingredients act gently and gradually, it takes some time to see and feel the effect. But this is not the momentary beauty of the hairstyle, but the health of the skin and hair.
If you often use gels or varnishes, use additional products in combination with sulfate-free shampoos to completely wash them off.
You are the owner long hair, then every time you wash your hair, soap your hair several times and rinse thoroughly.
A safe shampoo has such a delicate effect that at the beginning of use it does not cope with excess sebum. But, nourished and strengthened, hair and skin are gradually restored, and the work of the sebaceous glands is stabilized. The absence of toxins and the beneficial effects of natural ingredients bring any hair type back to normal over time.
Attention! Many sulfate-free products must be stored at low temperatures. Therefore, before use, the liquid needs to be slightly warmed in your palms.

- parabens– These are preservatives that increase the shelf life of cosmetic products. Parabens consist of esters that protect the skin from the effects of fungi;
- sulfates- These are products of petroleum refining. It is these ingredients that perfectly clean, give a lush foam, but at the same time worsen the condition of the hair. Sulfates are the cause of allergic reactions.
Note! Over time, scientists realized the dangers of the constant use of cleaning compositions with chemical components. Specialists from large companies have developed many series of organic cosmetics. In addition to natural substances, there are synthetic components, but they do not have a harmful effect on the scalp.
The benefits of sulfate-free shampoos

- organic cosmetics are more expensive than mass-produced shampoos with chemical ingredients.

Video - review of sulfate-free shampoos:
Shampoos consisting of natural ingredients and including means to moisturize and nourish the hair are called sulfate-free. All organic foundations are free of parabens and preservatives. They do not dry out the scalp, do not disturb the ph balance, do not wash off the protective layer from the hair and strengthen it. In the article you will find a rating of high-quality sulfate-free shampoos, learn about their benefits and disadvantages, and also choose the right product based on price and characteristics.
Regular shampoos foam well, create volume and deeply cleanse the head of dirt (continuous use is not advisable). This effect is provided by the sulfates included in its composition (for example, sodium sulfate). They are cheap raw materials for manufacturing cosmetics, so sulfate shampoos are inexpensive. Unfortunately, a serious negative effect is also possible - damage to the hair structure, washing out of protective layers, allergies. Special dermatological shampoos containing sulfates have a positive medical effect. They cleanse the head well and fight dandruff.
Sulfate-free shampoos do not contain toxic and dangerous substances such as SLS, ALES, ALS, etc. They foam much less and cleanse oily hair less well. The unusual liquid structure implies rapid consumption, although their average price is higher than that of sulfate products. The shelf life is usually no more than 1 year. The selection of components in the composition is determined by the purpose of the shampoo (regenerating shampoo, for brittle hair, against hair loss, etc.). The advantages of natural substances outweigh all the disadvantages. The best manufacturers try to optimize shampoo formulas so that they:
- had a gentle effect on the hair (made the hair smooth and created a natural shine, saturated it with vitamins and moisture, and prevented split ends);
- healed the scalp;
- Retained color for a long time after dyeing.
Why are sulfates dangerous for hair and scalp?
Most shampoos contain sulfates in their formulations, as this is the easiest way to achieve a thick lather and also remove oil from the hair and scalp.
Please note that the same sulfates are in first place in the compositions of various household and technical detergents.
However, in hair washes, sulfate is mixed with emollients that make it less aggressive. But! We wash our hair quite often, according to statistics every 1-3 days. And constant exposure to harmful substances on the skin and hair can have a detrimental effect in the long term.
For a long time, sulfates were considered carcinogens, which, when accumulated in the body, cause the growth of cancerous tumors. However, this information was later refuted by research by American toxicologists, which they reported in an official report.
However, not all so simple. After all, itching, dryness, allergies and brittle hair can occur after sulfate shampoos.
Scientists have proven that a high concentration of sulfates in shampoo causes irritation on the skin, and when sulfates enter the body, they can affect the respiratory system and disrupt brain function.
The main harm that sulfates cause is that they wash away the protective lipid layer of the scalp.
Hair follicles secrete sebum, which is distributed along the hair shaft, protecting the cuticle (scales) of the hair. Thanks to this, moisture is retained and the hair looks healthy and shiny.
At the same time, sulfates wash away this lipid layer. It seems to be good: root volume appears, the scalp becomes “fresh”. But this is only the primary visible effect. Left without sebum, the follicles begin to produce it more actively, as they need to restore balance.
At the same time, the hair remains without a protective film for a long time, the cuticle opens. This is where the problem arises: the scalp becomes oilier and the hair becomes dry. Therefore, you have to wash your hair more often and additionally moisturize the length.
This is why sulfate-free shampoos are a healthier alternative when it comes to hair care.
How to choose a sulfate-free shampoo
Which company is better to choose shampoo, what features and properties shampoos from different manufacturers have, we will tell you below. In the meantime, let’s define selection criteria that will help you avoid making mistakes.
- Read the composition. It may contain nonionic and amphoteric surfactants. They are needed to cleanse the scalp and remove impurities. If the composition contains cationic and anionic surfactants, then return the shampoo to the counter.
- Look for quality marks. Signs that the composition does not contain parabens and the product has not been tested on animals.
- Smell the shampoo. It should not have a pronounced odor.
- The packaging is made from recycled materials.
- When using, there should not be a lot of foam, and the consistency of the shampoo is unusually liquid.
- The color of the shampoo can be transparent or cloudy white.
Features of application
Sulfate-free shampoos have their own application technology. In order for the components to have time to act, you need to spend more time washing your hair. Hot water will contribute to the process. First, you need to soap the most contaminated areas of your head and massage them. Then rinse thoroughly with hot water. Due to the fact that the foaming of natural shampoos is weak, the procedure should be repeated. Lather your scalp and distribute the product over the entire length of your hair. Massage your head for 4-5 minutes and then rinse your hair with water.

Benefits and disappointments
Often, when switching to sulfate-free shampoos, girls are disappointed in their performance. At first, the hair looks heavy, greasy and loses its usual volume. The benefits that natural ingredients bring to your hair are obvious, but you also want to look good. This development of events may be preceded by two factors:
- the shampoo is chosen incorrectly;
- the hair is not yet accustomed to the new components.
Properly selected sulfate-free shampoo effectively cleanses hair, making it look healthy and attractive. However, it is also not necessary to use it constantly. It is enough to give your hair a break from regular shampoos at least once every 3 months. And, of course, products without aggressive substances are indispensable after keratin hair straightening and after chemical exposure.
In addition, the aggressive detergent base of conventional shampoos washes away the fat layer from the scalp, which forces the sebaceous glands to work with double force. Therefore, the head seems dirty faster and there is a need to wash it more often. The components of sulfate-free products act gently and do not wash off the protective layer from the skin. Therefore, with long-term use of natural cosmetics, it is possible to restore the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
