The dark vortex underneath the bathroom sink, a vast abyss that seems to collect tons of hair concoctions and potions that have endless promise for ideal results. Once in awhile we delve back inside this black hole to revisit hopes of a beauty miracle. With little to no avail, we continue to add to its contents disappointed once again.

Shampoo and Conditioner that is Sulfate, Paraben & Phthalate Free!
The more studies that are being done, parabens and sulfates are BAD news!
Sulfates dry out and break down the hairshaft which can cause irritation, color fading and in some instances hair loss!
Parabens on the other hand mimic the hormone estrogen, they have been linked to breast cancers and tumors!
Phthalates are linked to endocrine disruption, developmental and reproductive toxicity, cancers...SO SCARY!
