For those who want to lick the scrub, but it will be somehow awkward, we inform you - yes, it is sweet.

Perhaps, we especially note the Ginger body cream-butter, which promises to make the skin more elastic, remove excess fluid and prevent the appearance of stretch marks.

When choosing a shampoo, many pay attention to the composition. It is good when organic components and plant extracts are present in it - their benefits are obvious. But some ingredients, especially synthetic ones, are cause for concern. Recently, sulfates, parabens, and silicones have been especially a lot of questions and concerns. Let's figure out what these substances are, why they are added to shampoos and what alternatives there are.

SULFATES

sulfates- These are surface-active substances (surfactants), which are the main cleansing component of the shampoo. As soon as they form a thick foam and wash the dirt out of the hair. Two types of sulfates are most commonly used in production: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) - sodium lauryl sulfate and Sodium Lauteth Sulfate (SLES) - sodium laureth sulfate. Sulphates are salts of sulfuric acid and are quite aggressive cleaning agents. Present in shampoos, shower gels, cleansers, laundry detergents and dishwashing detergents. Their wide distribution is due to the fact that this is an inexpensive substance, and it does a good job of its main task - to purify.

However, sulfates can cause side effects, such as irritation and itching of the scalp, dandruff, weakness and dryness of the hair, their loss. In addition, sulfuric acid salts increase the likelihood of allergies to other components. To limit the harmful effects of sulfates, there is a limit on their concentration - no more than 1%. Moreover, modern formulas are supplied with neutralizing and emollient components that minimize the harm of sulfates, and perhaps not all people have side effects.

But there is cases when it is simply necessary to refuse shampoos with sulfates: sensitive scalp, itching, dandruff, oily scalp, weak, thin, dry, damaged hair prone to falling out. Another aspect in favor of choosing sulfate-free shampoos is the desire for naturalness and concern for nature. For example, sodium lauryl sulfate is recognized as toxic to aquatic life, and cosmetics with sulfates are tested on animals.

There is an alternative to sulfates! For example, natural analogues: coconut oil (coco sulfates), soap tree bark or another option - sulfosuccinate - Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate. The name of the latter is similar to sodium laureth sulfate, but the difference is huge. Succinate is a salt of succinic acid, not sulfuric. The sulfate ion of sulfuric acid in sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in succinate is replaced by a milder and more stable sulfoether ion. Molecule sulfosuccinate much larger than sulfate molecules, so it practically does not penetrate the skin. It is completely non-toxic even in high concentrations. Sulfosuccinate is used for the production of high-quality delicate and baby shampoos, intimate hygiene products. Shampoos made in South Korea, in which sulfosuccinate is used instead of sulfates as a washing base, are presented in the Mediacosmetics online store.

Features of using sulfate-free shampoos. It is worth noting that sulfate-free shampoos do not form such a thick and lush foam as sulfate products. It is necessary to apply them to the hair 2-3 times. The effect after using shampoos without sulfates and silicones does not appear immediately. For some time, hair restores its own natural protective layer, which was constantly washed off with aggressive sulfate products and replaced with an artificial one - silicone. Over time, when using sulfate-free shampoos, the hair will recover, the water-fat balance of the scalp will improve. For the best effect, you can choose a sulfate-free shampoo with natural caring ingredients for a certain type of hair. So to restore damaged hair suitable shampoo without sulfates, parabens and silicones with Japanese camellia extract, which saturates damaged hair with vitality, restoring their natural beauty and health. For sensitive scalp suitable shampoo without sulfates, parabens and silicones with tea tree oil, which has an antibacterial and antimicrobial effect, relieves itching and irritation. For colored hair suitable shampoo without sulfates, parabens and silicones with calamus extract, this shampoo has a weak acidity, which allows you to maintain the durability and color saturation of dyed hair for a long time. For fine hair suitable shampoo without sulfates, parabens and silicones with sturgeon caviar extract, which makes hair smooth and shiny, giving maximum volume to thin and lifeless hair.

PARABENS

Parabens are esters of para-hydroxybenzoic acid, which are widely are used as preservatives in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries due to its antiseptic and fungicidal (antifungal) properties. The most common parabens are methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben. The popularity of parabens is due to their effectiveness as preservatives, low cost, and long history of use. Parabens in the composition of the shampoo ensure its safety during the entire shelf life.

Are parabens harmful? Some people are allergic to parabens in the form of irritation, contact dermatitis and rosacea. But the main controversy has unfolded over whether parabens cause cancer, in particular breast cancer. There is currently no consensus on this issue. Current research does not support a causal relationship between parabens and tumors, nor does it show that parabens are safe. The long-term health effects of parabens on human health are still essentially unknown. Therefore, we ourselves have to decide whether to use shampoos with or without parabens, based on our own beliefs. And if you still choose paraben-free shampoos, then they must contain another preservative that will ensure its safety throughout the shelf life.

Other preservative can act, in particular , sodium benzoate. Sodium benzoate is a preservative that prevents the appearance of mold fungi, yeast, and slows down oxidative reactions. It is used in the food industry to preserve meat, fish, margarine, mayonnaise, ketchup, carbonated drinks. Sodium benzoate is safe for humans, both as a dietary supplement and as a cosmetic ingredient. Individual intolerance is extremely rare.

South Korean shampoos without parabens can be found in the online store "Mediacosmetics" in the section "Shampoos without sulfates, parabens and silicones".

SILICONES

Silicones obtained from silica by polymerization and complex chemical processes. Silicones have been added to cosmetics since the 1950s: at first only in hand creams and ointments, then new types of silicones began to be added to antiperspirants, hair conditioners, styling mousses. Today, this component is found in almost all categories of cosmetics. On the packaging, silicones are identified by the endings: "-cone", "-conol", "-methicone", "-silicone", "-siloxane".

Silicones allow cosmetic adhere to the skin, maintain a liquid consistency, do not allow the products to spread, lubricate and provide a comfortable feeling when applied - without stickiness, increase the waterproof properties of makeup products. Silicones in shampoos and hair care products fill cracks in the hair, healing them and restoring their good structure, thicken the hair, make it more elastic and manageable, restore water resistance to damaged areas of the hair, prevent new damage. Silicones make hair easier to comb, which reduces the chance of breakage and split ends. And also protect during heat styling, creating a protective barrier.

Why are funds anyway?siliconfree growing in popularity? It should be noted right away that silicones safe for human skin, they can even be used for the skin around the eyes. There are no studies that would confirm the harm of silicones to humans.

However, silicones are ability to accumulate on hair. These accumulations are harmless to the hair, but significantly change their structure. Hair becomes greasy and heavy. With prolonged use, shampoos with silicones disrupt metabolic processes, since silicones form a film on the surface of the hair, which prevents oxygen and useful substances from penetrating inside. Thus, silicones prolonged exposure weaken the hair, make it brittle and lifeless.

The main opponents of the use of silicones in cosmetics are environmentalists. The reason is that silicones do not decompose but accumulate in nature. Environmental activists, in the fight for the preservation of nature, urge not to use cosmetics with these substances. Eco-friendly cosmetic companies are ditching silicone formulas and using vegetable oils and organic waxes instead.

An interesting composition for hair conditioners of the LA MISO Volume Boost, LA MISO Sensitive Scalp, LA MISO Color Protect, LA MISO Damage Repair series, made in South Korea. Silicones are replaced with natural components here: Hydrolyzed silk and keratin significantly improve the structure of the hair, restoring and giving it a healthy shine and strength. Grape seed oil nourishes intensively. Hydrolyzed Collagen saturates the hair with moisture.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

I decided to try a shampoo without sulfates, parabens and silicones and chose the Korean shampoo from the LA MISO Damage Repair series for damaged hair. Although my hair is not damaged, I think that additional strengthening will only benefit them. As part of the shampoo, instead of sulfates, sulfosuccinate is used - Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate. Thought it would be bad, but was pleasantly surprised. The shampoo lathered well, maybe just a little less than shampoo with sulfates. I washed my hair as usual for 2 times. I note that now I have short hair (recently made a haircut), may need a little more shampoo for long hair. The bottle has a convenient dispenser and you can adjust the amount of extruded product. The smell of the shampoo is pleasant, light floral, unobtrusive. The shampoo itself is transparent.

After washing my hair, I always use hair conditioner, and as professionals recommend, it is the same brand and series as the shampoo - in my case, LA MISO Damage Repair Conditioner. The conditioner has the same smell as the shampoo, the color is white. It is very pleasant that the conditioners of this series can be used as a hair mask - you just need to apply thicker and hold longer.

Recently, I felt that my hair quickly becomes greasy and looks untidy on the second day. After using LA MISO Damage Repair Shampoo and Conditioner, I felt a feeling of lightness and freshness. Hair became softer, smoother, with a natural shine. Below is a photo of my hair after washing and blow-drying. Comfortable feeling even on the second day after shampooing, no itching, and the hair does not look greasy! Now I understand that I definitely had too much with silicones before. And besides, it warms the pleasant thought that I used hair products without sulfates, parabens and silicones, without harming the environment and nature.

So I recommend trying shampoo and conditioner without sulfates, parabens and silicones in the complex, and problems such as itching and irritation of the scalp, oily hair and their dullness (if they are associated with these additives) may disappear by themselves!

Ecology of life. Health and beauty: Every woman at some time in her life has probably used the most expensive cosmetic systems, strictly following all the advice of cosmetic consultants. And how many of the women can claim that after six months, or after a year of strict adherence to the recommendations for the use of cosmetic preparations, their skin has at least visually changed for the better?

Every woman at some time in her life has probably used the most expensive systems of cosmetics, strictly following all the advice of consultant cosmetologists. And how many of the women can claim that after six months, or after a year of strict adherence to the recommendations for the use of cosmetic preparations, their skin has at least visually changed for the better? Most likely few. In the morning, without cream and decorative cosmetics, we all state with disappointment the inexorable fact of aging of our skin.

Most modern cosmetics (fatty creams, lotions and gels) affect only the epidermis, that is, the upper 0.1 mm of our skin, while often damaging the normal microflora - friendly skin bacteria - and epithelial cells with preservatives.

Such cosmetics do more harm than good, especially if the skin is problematic - excessively dry or oily, if it has begun to age prematurely, the first wrinkles or juvenile acne have appeared. Therefore, many are now returning to grandmother's recipes: they clean the skin with clay and yogurt, wash their hair with mustard or an egg, and rinse with water with lemon or herbal infusions, etc.

Our skin is not obliged to endure the crimes that we commit daily: FEED THE SKIN WITH PRESERVATIVES!!!

Which of the unpronounceable ingredients found in beauty products are detrimental to our health? We want to clarify this issue and highlight some non-toxic organic cosmetic lines.

A recent survey revealed the true extent of concerns about chemicals in cosmetics and toiletries in people's daily lives. A survey conducted by Neal's Yard Remedies in response to the Channel 4 program, "Beauty Addicts: How Toxic are You?", revealed the top consumer confusions about cosmetic brands and showed that 99% of consumers want to clarify information.

As surprising as it may sound, the average woman uses 12 beauty products daily and puts about 175 chemicals on her body. Most products contain a long list of ingredients, many of which have unpronounceable names - and it is even more unclear for what reason or merit they are in them.

According to INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients), it is necessary that each component of the product has its own name.

The names of even the natural ingredients adopted by INCI often look terrifying, which makes the names of ordinary ingredients look like foreign obscure words. Most natural brands, including A "kin, began to place the usual familiar ingredient names in square brackets, not far from the standard INCI name.

With the approval of the European Union, almost all cosmetic products are safe, but there is an undeniable dubious link in the presence of chemicals that cause an allergic reaction, skin resistance and even cancer.

Somehow it was suggested that if the cosmetic product is not absorbed into the skin, then the quality of the product should be questioned. However, now it has become known that the skin absorbs absolutely all the products placed on it. All ingredients penetrate and are absorbed into the deep layers of the skin, but some of them can be toxic to humans and their body.

In addition, cosmetic products are designed to retain their properties for several years, and for this reason contain a large number of preservatives.

So what ingredients, often referred to as "negatives", should be avoided?

propylene glycol
It is a humectant and solvent used in cosmetics, hair products, deodorants, aftershave lotions, and toothpastes. It is also the main element in antifreeze and brake fluids - it is not surprising that it is the strongest causative agent of allergic reactions.

Sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate
This solid ingredient is found in toothpastes and shampoos, not to mention personal cleansing products. At concentrations of as little as 2-5%, it can cause skin irritation and inflammation, and has been reported to cause eye problems, skin rashes, dandruff, and an allergic reaction. For products that do not contain this component, you can try Alterna and Daniel Galvin Junior.

Formaldehyde (formaldehyde)
Formaldehydes are most commonly found in bath foams, shampoos, moisturizing lotions, and many other products. However, this powerful chemical is known to be carcinogenic and toxic. It readily penetrates the skin and can cause serious health problems.

parabens
There have been suggestions that parabens - one type of preservative - can cause hormonal disorders and even breast cancer. However, the involvement of parabens contained in deodorants was proven to be unfounded. Therefore, in the cosmetic world, their properties have been overestimated, and now they are considered quite safe. For paraben-free brands, try Trilogy.

Mineral oil (mineral oils)
Mineral oils are very often added to various body lotions (baby oil is 100% mineral oil). They create a layer on the skin, like a plastic shell, so the skin is practically unable to breathe and get rid of toxins. And this encouragement of the accumulation of toxins can cause premature skin aging, acne and other skin concerns.

Petrolatum (Vaseline)
It's a cheap mineral oil jelly. It can be allergenic, poorly absorbed and clog pores. In addition, petroleum jelly makes it difficult for oxygen to reach the skin and can cause skin cracks and photosensitivity.

10 Most Dangerous Ingredients - Read the Label!

Stop being satisfied with pseudo-natural cosmetics. Start reading labels and you will learn to recognize truly organic products among others. Here are the substances that, according to Aubrey Hampton, founder of Aubrey Organics, are not desirable in cosmetics.

1. METHYL, PROPYL, BUTYL AND ETHYL PARABENS (METHYL, PROPYL, BUTYL AND ETHYL PARABENS) often used in daily care products as preservative stabilizers that inhibit the growth of microorganisms. They are absorbed by the skin and have a weak estrogenic effect, which is dangerous for women for whom estrogen is contraindicated (for breast cancer), as well as during pregnancy (causes pathologies in the reproductive function of the fetus).

2. DIETHANOLAMINE (DEA, DEA), TRIETHANOLAMINE (TEA, TEA)- foaming substances, refer to amines (having ammonia in their composition). They have a toxic effect with prolonged use. May cause allergic reactions, eye irritation, dry skin and hair.

3. PROPYLENE GLYCOL (PROPYLENE GLYCOL, PPG), POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL (PEG, PEG)- a mixture of petrochemical products, used as a hygroscopic ingredient. May cause hives and eczema.

4. SODIUM LAURULAURETH SULFATE (SODIUM LAURUULAURETH SULFATE)- a cheap and harmful detergent used in shampoos due to its cleansing and foaming properties. A petroleum product often disguised as "derived from coconuts". Causes eye irritation, scalp flaking similar to dandruff, skin rash and other allergic reactions.

5. VASELINE (PETROLATUM)- derived from mineral oil, used as an emollient, widely used because of the incredible cheapness. It disrupts the natural processes of moisturizing and causes exactly the condition that is intended to eliminate: dry skin, the appearance of cracks.

6. STEARALKONIUM-CHLORIDE (STEARALKONIUM CHLORIDE) originally developed for fabric softeners, later found use in hair conditioners and creams due to its low cost compared to plant extracts. Toxic, causes allergic reactions.

7. IAZOLIDINIL-UREA, IMIDAZO-LIDINIL-UREA (DIAZOLIDINYL UREA, IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA) used as preservatives, emit formaldehyde, which has a toxic effect. May cause contact dermatitis. Also known under trade names: Germol II and Germol 115 (Germall II, Germall 115).

8. COPOLYMERS OF VINYLPIRROLIDONE AND VINY LACETATE (PVP/VA COPOLYMER)- derivatives of petroleum products, often used in hair styling products. They have a toxic effect on the lungs when the particles are inhaled.

9. SYNTHETIC DYES- increase the attractiveness of cosmetics. Marked as FD&C or D&C followed by color and number. For example, FD&C Red #6 (red). Many synthetic dyes are carcinogenic. It is better to exclude from use, regardless of cost.

10. SYNTHETIC FLAVORS labeled simply as "flavor", but contain up to 200 chemical ingredients that can cause: headache, dizziness, rash, hyperpigmentation, cough, vomiting, skin irritation.

Signs of organic cosmetics

DUE TO THE LACK chemical thickeners and solvents, the liquid emulsion can be separated into layers. Therefore, before use, the bottle should be shaken vigorously.

LOW FOAM since there are no foaming chemicals. At first, this may be bewildering, but the absence of foam does not detract from the washing and caring properties.

ON HIT in the eyes, natural extracts cause an acute burning sensation, which disappears immediately after washing with water.

ON THE LABEL the complete list of components is given and the certificate is indicated. Organic companies are required to provide full information when translating text. Peel off the Russian-language label and check the list on the tube.
