The key ingredients in any shampoo are surfactants, compounds that lower the so-called surface tension and act as detergents and foaming agents. The most commonly used surfactants include SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and SLES (sodium laureth sulfate) because they are effective and inexpensive. Unfortunately, they are also irritants. If you have a sensitive scalp, check out SLS-free shampoos by DeLaMark.
SLS and SLES are found in many consumer products, including shampoos, shower gels, soaps, toothpaste, bubble bath formulations, shaving creams, household cleaning products, and more. They are valued for their ability to create a foam (lather), for their surfactant properties, and for their cheapness. Unfortunately, these surfactants have some serious drawbacks.
Inexpensive synthetic surfactants often cause skin irritation, especially on people with overly sensitive or allergy-prone skin. Many consumers have complained about SLS-based shampoos making their scalp itchy and flaky and their hair dry, dull and brittle. Besides, mass-market shampoos often contain other potentially irritating or harmful ingredients such as silicones, parabens, artificial fragrances and dyes, etc.
Consumers who want their hair to be healthy and strong choose SLS-free shampoos based on mild, natural surfactants. Such shampoos don’t lather as much but they still do their job. Natural shampoos clean the hair well without dehydrating it, prevent itching and flaking, and help to take care of the hair thanks to containing vegetable oils, essential oils, herbal extracts and other plant-derived ingredients.
Ukrainian brand of personal care and household cleaning products DeLaMarks presents a line of natural shampoos for all skin types (including delicate shampoo for babies) that are formulated with 98% of natural ingredients. DeLaMark shampoos are based on sulfate-free, green surfactants derived from sugars, olive oil and coconut oil. They gently remove dirt, grime, excess sebum and styling product residue but don’t strip the hair of natural oils and moisture. Thanks to their delicate cleansing effect, these shampoos are perfectly suitable for daily use.
Each of the shampoos is infused with natural extracts and oils that provide the hair with vitamins and other nutrients, make it stronger, and improve hair elasticity and flexibility. For example, DeLaMark shampoo for oily hair contains nettle, sage, green tea and aloe extracts, as well as hemp seed oil, glycerine and allantoin. Herbal extracts have pronounced antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, soothing and healing properties. They normalise sebum secretion in the scalp, helping to keep the hair clean and fresh for longer. Allantoin, glycerine and hemp seed oil help to lock in moisture, make the hair softer and smoother, and restore its natural strength and shine.
Natural shampoos by DeLaMark are free of sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, DEA, TEA, parabens, silicones, and other potentially irritating or harmful ingredients. They are easy to rinse off and don’t irritate the scalp. These shampoos also have a conditioning effect. They prevent the hair from tangling, make it softer and tamer, and facilitate combing and styling.
DeLaMark shampoos, like the rest of the company’s products, are 98% biodegradable, which makes them completely safe for human health and the environment. Their environmental sustainability is confirmed by the Living Planet international eco-certificate. Besides, DeLaMark doesn’t use animal-derived ingredients or test its product on animals.
