You will read this in details about this topic “Toxic chemicals in shampoo” .
For this article I tried many samples some from the supermarket while others from online market. I thoroughly examined each and every ingredients on all of this shampoo and was quite disappointed. You too will be solved to know that the most popular shampoo which are used by the majority of Indians have the maximum number of toxic chemical in then. The ingredient which are used in this samples contain

One more thing, I noticed while researching that all the same brand uses almost the same product or ingredient. So, I divided that in three categories on the basis of number of harmful chemicals so let us see in which category all the shampoo for length.
Harmful toxic in shampoo
category includes samples like Garnier man , head& shoulder L’Oreal, Pantene pro v , Dove , clinic plus and Sunsilk which has more than 10 toxic chemicals this in my opinion are the words of the time. It is so disappointing to know that the shampoo brands which we have been trusting since childhood all these samples has 10 or more than 10 toxic chemicals have strong fragrance and has cosmetic colour.
Toxic chemicals in shampoo
in this category shampoos fall like Johnson’s baby and wow’s Apple cider vinegar shampoo. This are the little better than the category 1 but are far from the list. If we compare these two shampoo with each other Wow is better as it free from sulphates. Over all they have around 6 to 7 toxic chemicals including sodium laureth sulphate (SLES) Is a minor version of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). However, both have detergent and should be avoided. It also has artificial fragrances and colours.
Toxic Shampoo
in this category number 3 includes shampoo like Ayush , biotic and Patanjali. These are the sample which are trying to full the customers using over smart marketing technique all these samples mentioned only 10% of his ingredients on the list. I don’t understand if your shampoo is made from 100% botanical extract then why do you have to hide 90% of 8 ingredients and what is the reason that the 90% of in the ingredient fall in soap base to which the customer has no access. If only 10% of the ingredients in your shampoo are from natural halls it doesn’t make in ayurvedic shampoo and ayurvedic medicine does it. Atleast the category to shampoo share this ingredients to us . This type of practice doesn’t make these shampoo trust worthy.
