Sulphate-Free Shampoos

What are sulphates?

Sulphates have been present in a great many personal care and cleaning products since the 1930s, such as dishwashers, laundry soaps, bleach and yes, even shampoos. If we define them chemically, they consist of one atom of sulphur and 4 atoms of oxygen. But to simplify it even more, we are talking about the combination of salts and fatty acids.

In the context of hair, we know that all the dirt and grease particles that adhere to the fibres cannot be washed out with water alone, as hair is naturally hydrophobic, i.e. it absorbs grease, but repels water, so a special formulation of surfactants is needed to remove excess sebum and dirt from the hair.

So why are sulphates bad? This chemical ingredient is responsible for the foaming of many cleaning products, but also from eye irritation, dry scalp, and hair dye thinning faster. The reason laboratories use and over-exploit this ingredient is because of its low cost and easy production, but consumer preferences are changing, and therefore brands are also changing their procedures.

Sulfate-free moisturising shampoo

Now that we know a little more about how sulphates work and we are clear about the nature of our hair, here comes an important question: is there any moisturising shampoo that is sulphate-free? The answer is yes, there are plenty of shampoos that include among their components contain hydrating agents, ideal for recovering your hair.

In addition to gently cleansing, they remove any residue and prevent colour creep, thanks to their delicate formulas that keep hair and scalp moisturised and balanced.

They help seal the hair cuticle to improve its strength and keep it free of roughness, breakage or weakening. They also promote colour intensity and durability. The result is hair that is soft, shiny, resilient and colourfast for longer.

Sulphate-free shampoo for coloured hair

Being more delicate, the colour will remain as intense as the first day, or until the next visit to the salon. It seals the colour pigments within the hair structure making the heat more natural and long-lasting, providing protection against external aggressions such as water or blow-drying.
