Natural shampoos and conditioners

What is a natural shampoo or a SLS free shampoo?
There are a numerous cosmetics and body care products that may describe their contents as natural. It is important to realise that natural can sometimes be an ambiguous term, and to really get to the bottom of it is to make sure your shampoo is chemical free is to make sure the following ingredients have not been included.
- No Detergents or Surfactants.
- No Parabens or Preservatives.
- No Synthetic Additives.
- No petroleum based ingredients
- Should contain organic and natural ingredients.
- No Animal Testing.
- Earth & Skin Friendly.
A natural shampoo and conditioner should not contain Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLS). This is a harsh chemical and has been known to actually damage hair follicles, cause irritation, damage skin and cannot be metabolised by the liver. Therefore this remains as a residue in the body much longer and more precious energy is needed to get rid of this. SLS is a common ingredient that is used in most mainstream shampoo and soap brands.
A natural shampoo and conditioner should also be free from Parabens. Parabens are very commonly used in most beauty products and are preservatives that help in extending the shelf life of these products. Recent studies have linked parabens to increased estrogen levels, which are said to possibly increase the risk of breast cancer.
A natural shampoo should not contain artificial colours and fragrances also known as parfum. These can also cause skin sensitivity, and can be irritating on the skin and body.
Phthalates, ethyl alcohol, DEA, TEA, Propylene glycol and PEGs are all chemicals very commonly used in beauty and body care products. Natural shampoos and conditioners would not contain any one of these ingredients. So a chemical free shampoo will not have any of the above ingredients, no chemical additives or animal products.
There are many gentle, non-toxic replacements for SLS?s that are derived from coconut or corn. These are most commonly used in natural shampoos, such as Sodium Lauryl Glucose Carboxylate which is quite often used ÿas a foaming agent.
Fushi’s natural hair care range is free from all these chemicals and detergents. It is made from organic herbs and natural oils, butters and aromatic waters with natural foaming agents that are derived from coconut and corn. Natural shampoos will not foam as much as high street brands. However this does not mean they are any less effective, in fact they clean justÿ as well, but without the damaging and harsh effects of the chemicals, leaving your hair in a healthier condition for the long term.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
