I'd like to pretend this one is slightly better :) Plus, I think the brand name is adorable! Thanks for the review, and I'll be curious when you find the best safe shampoo!Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433733882749407073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412111551984078727.post-2511896825148763562011-09-14T13:18:39.050-07:002011-09-14T13:18:39.050-07:00I'm so glad you scoped out the EWG before shop...I'm so glad you scoped out the EWG before shopping! By doing that, you definitely eliminated a lot of chemicals lurking in most shampoos. Checking out the ingredient list of Yes to Carrots Nourishing Shampoo, I see that it has two of the gentlest detergents: decyl glucoside and lauryl glucoside, which is awesome. However, lurking in the detergent list is also sodium coco-sulfate, a member of the sulfates family. Sodium coco-sulfate gets a 0 hazard score on EWG, but if you look carefully, that's because there currently is no data on this ingredient. This means it's a newer detergent. However, the only difference between sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium coco-sulfate is that instead of starting out with an isolated fatty acid from coconut, a blend of fatty acids from the coconut oil is used and reacted with sulfuric acid and sodium carbonate. Essentially, sodium coco-sulfate is a blend of several different sulfates, including sodium lauryl sulfate. This means it still exhibits the same characteristics like being a skin irritant and harsh on the hair follicle.<br /><br />Also, one of the last ingredients is "fragrance" which means it is scented with synthetics. I've discussed the problem of synthetic fragrance before: http://frecklestotoes.blogspot.com/2011/09/mainstream-media-warns-public-about.html<br />You want to look for products that are only scented with essential oils and extracts (which this product does have some of!) but avoid the word "fragrance". It is an umbrella term that can contain up to dozens of unnamed chemicals.<br /><br />The last concern I have with this shampoo is sodium benzoate. Although I haven't discussed it here yet, sodium benzoate is a preservative that if combined with potassium benzoate, forms benzene, a known carcinogen. A study was done at the University of Sheffield that found that sodium benzoate by itself can damage and inactivate vital parts of DNA in a cell's mitochondria, leading to apoptosis (cell death).<br /><br />Don't worry though, I'll be giving some suggestions for some of the safest shampoos available really soon!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07694299249778577305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412111551984078727.post-41685984008893544192011-09-14T05:57:08.082-07:002011-09-14T05:57:08.082-07:00I recently purchased Yes to Carrots Nourishing Sha...I recently purchased Yes to Carrots Nourishing Shampoo (http://www.yestocarrots.com/product/nourishing-shampoo?product_id=191007) -- I even scoped out the EWG database before doing so -- and I'd be curious to hear what you think about it since you know exactly what to look for. As for use I like it so far!Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433733882749407073noreply@blogger.com
