Organic Hair Products - The truth about ingredients

There are so many reason's organic hair products are important to integrate into your daily life. I can across this awesome information on the truth about non-organic hair products. The couple stats mentioned are shocking. I hope you find this interesting as well.

Did you know that over 80% of all beauty products, and over 93% of all hair care products available today are made with Black List™ ingredients?*

The simple truth is that many beauty products are advertised as natural or organic when their ingredients are far from it. Many companies produce these “so-called” natural or organic  products by adding a few herbal extracts to a synthetic soup of polymers (plastics), silicones, petroleum (and its derivatives), artificial fragrances and colors, and other potentially harmful substances. They then market the product by focusing on the few clean ingredients, while disregarding the rest, hoping the consumer will do the same. The public is becoming more aware of this unethical marketing strategy (often called “greenwashing”), but unfortunately the practice is still widespread.

 

I got this info from an internet retailer, saffronrouge.com. They are SERIOUS about organic hair products. You should check it out if you have a chance. They hold organic hair products to a higher standard. I really enjoyed looking through all the information they have on their site. I'll most likely be posting more organic hair product info I find from their site over time.
