Become Salon Savvy: Shampoo Ingredients to Avoid!

At our Las Vegas Aveda Salon, we strongly believe in using natural products to keep hair looking gorgeous. Unlike other shampoo brands that feature a laundry list of nasty chemicals, Aveda strives to use only the best organic ingredients. Any hair care product that features the following ingredients should send you running!

(1) Sodium Laureth Sulfate

This dreaded ingredient is found in most shampoos and body washes. While not a carcinogen itself, it is associated with the possibility of them and can cause skin and eye irritation.

(2) Fragrance or Parfum

Beware of these terms, which are actually general names that often mask a slew of not-nice chemicals.

(3) Propylene Glycol

Ironically used as a moisturizing agent, it is actually a skin irritant that has been linked to respiratory and immune issues in children.

These are just some of the chemicals found in most commercial shampoos. There are plenty others. What do you like to avoid? Leave us a comment below! Contact us today to learn more about our Aveda salon or to schedule an appointment.
