Choose a bar shampoo with natural clay! 5 reasons to choose clay over sulfates
Posted by Hanna Savioja on
Many shampoos and even shampoo bars marketed as natural contain strong sulfates. Could you clean your hair in a more natural way and at the same time take care of your scalp and hair?
Why should sulfates be left out?
Why choose sulfate-free shampoo ? Sulfates are the washing and abundantly foaming ingredient in industrial shampoos and in many bar shampoos. One of the most harmful properties of sulfates is that they wash the hair too effectively. Often the natural oils of the scalp also go down the drain along with sulfates. Over time, too much cleansing can make hair dry and brittle. For many people, sulfate in shampoo also causes skin sensitivity, redness, dandruff and itching. For many people, the sulfate shampoo solution running down the back and body may even be the cause of acne problems on the back skin. An unwanted symptom on the scalp can also be excessive sebum production when the sebaceous glands try to revive the dried scalp. You can find sulfates on the inci list most often under the name: sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, i.e. SLS/SLES
When we talk about clay in skin care, we often associate it in our minds with various face masks. What happens when you put natural clay on your scalp or hair? Clay is also beneficial for the scalp, as its best properties include its excellent ability to absorb impurities without removing nutrients. That's why we use natural clay in organic block shampoos .
Because of their gentleness, Kolme Cosmetics bar shampoos are suitable for many people suffering from scalp problems.5 reasons to choose a block shampoo containing clay:
- The block shampoo containing clay cleans naturally without strong sulfates. The clay directly absorbs impurities from the skin pores by deep cleaning the skin.
- Natural clay contains a lot of different minerals, such as iron, magnesium, sodium and calcium, which the scalp needs to feel good.
- Clay suppresses inflammatory conditions of the skin thanks to its antibacterial properties. Therefore, it can be used e.g. in the treatment of fungal infections of the scalp.
- The block shampoo containing clay normalizes sebum production and also effectively removes dandruff. The clay absorbs excess sebum, dandruff and impurities.
- Exfoliating effect. Clay activates surface blood circulation and cell regeneration
