Analysis updated August 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This shampoo contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which can strip natural oils and potentially irritate the scalp, though it is less harsh than Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. The presence of beneficial ingredients like protein and ceramide helps to strengthen and protect hair, offering some redeeming qualities. The product is paraben-free, which is a positive aspect, but the inclusion of SLES and the level of processing prevent it from achieving a higher score.
