How to make Herbal Hair Shampoo at home

Manufacturers are often using toxic compounds in their skin and hair products and ignore their toxic effects on your health. This is clearly seen in the list of ingridients that they use. Here is a small list of chemicals found in many products:

Propylene glycol or glycol – this petrochemical used because it is very inexpensive

Cetearyl alcohol – emulsifier that can be synthetic or natural

Methylparaben or propylparaben – typical synthetic preservatives

Distearate – this is polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol which are petrochemicals

Isopropyl alcohol – used as a cheap solvent to carry synthetic oils.
