Sulfates: What Are They & Why Don't We Use Them
Sulfates might tempt you with a “satisfying lather,” but they can also beharsh on your hair and skin.
Why go sulfate-free? Because here's the deal: sulfates might tempt you with a "satisfying lather", but they can also be harsh on your hair and skin. Dryness, irritation, and even color fading (for those with color-treated hair) are just a few of the potential sulfate symptoms that can crash the party. Moreover, sensitive skin types can also be left feeling high and dry when using haircare and skincare products that contain sulfates. Simply put, those extra suds that sulfates produce may give off the feeling of an ultimate clean but they are really doing more harm than good.
