Natural Shampoo is affected by Water

There are instances where the natural shampoo is causing the hair too stripped from natural oils content but the truth is that the issue comes from water and not from the shampoo. Shampoo has been in our history for many years. Until the time reaches 1960s, shampoo is not that efficient. Since then, people are utilizing surfactants in order to make the oils from the shampoo to be rinsed by water since water and oil don’t mix as we all know. However, this technology can affect the health of the environment.

When it comes to the organic and natural shampoo, they are using surfactants but from plants. This is the difference when compared to the regular shampoo that we know. Basically, chemical based shampoos contain surfactants that are harsh due to the laureth or sodium lauryl sulfate components. You will find these components common to most personal care products. Organic shampoo uses surfactants that are obtained from the Castile or coco-glucoside, which can be found from coconut oil.


There are places in the country where natural shampoo will not lather as you expected since it depends to the minerals of the water. This will leave you the feeling to your hair of being dry. The hardness will depend to the mineral content of the water and in this case, you will need to use organic conditioner or natural conditioner in order to solve the issues.

Since science keeps on discovering the chemicals that are harmful to the people, the organic skin care is becoming more and more popular today. As we all know, babies have delicate skin so you might want to consider those products that are safe and with proper skin care ingredients. This will benefit the child when it comes to preventing skin problems caused by those harmful chemical based products in the market. There are actually lists of harmful skin care products that are advisable to be ignored when shopping. Also, these products are advised not to use for children especially those with super delicate skins.


Basically, the newborn skin is designed for the protection of the baby. However, you need to limit the exposure of the newborn skin since it is too delicate at this stage. If you notice, we normally keep our babies from the hot sunlight and other natural elements in the surroundings. We also need to provide enough time for the baby to cope with the air and acclimate to it. Just like the adults, the newly born babies also absorb those chemicals to the skin. The only difference between an adult and a baby is that the baby seems to be weaker since there is still no immune system as compared to the adults. Also, the babies are not capable of metabolizing the chemicals to the liver as compared to the adults. This is the usual cause why there are many babies that are affected by several skin conditions like acne and cradle cap.

It is our goal as parent to provide our children the healthiest start to their lives as much as possible and this can be obtained by using organic baby products. There is no doubt that most of the products we recognize to be safe for the children are known to be harmful. In essence, there are popular baby shampoos that are tested in the clinic and shows harmful chemicals to the ingredients that can lead to the several health problems.

Most of the top selling baby products are normally in an attractive and appealing container as if they are gentle and harmless for the babies. In fact, there are hidden harmful toxins to them. If you check the labels of the products, you will be surprised that there are number of harmful ingredients present.

Organic shampoo and body wash are one of the many safest products we can use for babies. As much as possible, you need to consider products that are food grade. These shampoos are rich in Jojoba oil, which is gentle and compatible to the skin of human. Jojoba oils actually resemble the natural oils in our skin. The best organic products will not tear free as shown and advertised by the shampoo manufacturers. It’s not the any sting to the eyes that makes the shampoos we are using for years to the babies as gentle; it is the anesthetics that is harmful and counteract the stinging.
