At a glance
Summary
This shampoo contains a mix of surfactants and cleansing agents that are generally considered safe for use in personal care products. However, it is a processed product with a moderate level of processing, which limits its score. The absence of harmful additives or controversial ingredients like parabens or sulfates is a positive aspect, but the formulation does not include any particularly beneficial or natural ingredients that would elevate its rating further.
