Organic Jaguar Natural Shampoo
At a glance
Summary
Organic Jaguar Natural Shampoo scores 91/100 -- a clean, plant-oil-forward shampoo from a brand with a proven clean-beauty track record (their sunscreen scores 95). Zero sulfates (no SLS/SLES), zero parabens, zero phthalates, zero synthetic fragrance, zero dyes, zero phosphates. The cleansing system pairs cocamidopropyl betaine (coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant, dramatically gentler than SLS/SLES) with sodium lauryl lactylate -- a mild lactic-acid ester (EWG 1-2, not to be confused with sodium lauryl sulfate). Conditioning and scalp care comes from extra virgin olive oil, castor oil, vegetable glycerin, honey, and aloe vera gel -- a genuinely strong humectant and emollient stack. Biotin is included for keratin support. The score sits just below the BASED tier (97) because cocamidopropyl betaine, while clean by industry standards, is a step below coco-glucoside or decyl glucoside, which BASED uses.
