Sulphates? WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH…
Sulphates are used in many cosmetic and hygiene products, predominantly as a foaming and degreasing agent, so you’ll find them in many shampoos and body washes, for example. There is speculation around carcinogenic factors, although no studies have found evidence for this yet. However, sulphates have been found to irritate skin and damage hair health, especially thick and curly hair. Sulphates are also synthesised from petroleum, a fossil fuel, so the eco-conscious may prefer to use sulphate-free products.
Leaf + Seed haircare products, from £24, are sulphate, paraben and silicone-free, infused with botanical power and CBD to soothe the scalp and increase blood circulation. They’re also completely natural, sustainable, cruelty-free, ph-balanced and vegan. wildsciencelab.com
