Ongaro Beauty Organic Shampoo - Hydrating Shampoo with Aloe Vera, Probiotic Extracts, Peptides, & Apple Stem Cells - Hair Growth Shampoo for Dry, Oily, & Colored Hair - 12 fl oz

I purchased the shampoo due to it being Natural, Sulfate-Free, Safe for Color-Treated Hair with Probiotic Technology and containing organic and additive free ingredients. The 7 reviews also influenced purchasing. I used the shampoo a few times and left a review giving 4* as I found shampoo caused my hair to be a bit more dry (which would mean for me in respect of the shampoo, the need for a conditioner). I wasn't too keen on the smell either but that was of little significance. I looked forward to using this shampoo, wanting to move away from shampoos that contain concerning ingredients that could or did affect my sensitive scalp.In respect of my own experience and findings, I noticed this shampoo has a very extensive list of ingredients. Some I had not recognised or had understanding of. I decided to write to the sellers for a response to obtain some understanding of quite many of the shampoos ingredients. I received a reply that some of the ingredients are preservatives and these were necessary to keep out bacteria and maintain the quality of the product.Ongaro shampoo contains Sodium Lauroyl and Sodium Lauroyl Glycinate, Phenoxyethanol and Cocamidopropyl Betaine.I looked up information on the ingredients and According to online research information in regard of shampoos (and conditioners), 12 toxic ingredients to avoid in shampoo and conditioner:Sodium Lauryl Sulfate/Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS). A surfactant found in many cleaning products. Also an insecticide. The sodium and ammonium laureate sulfates are known cancer-causing ingredients. Also causes liver damage, skin rashes, depression, diarrhea and eye damage.Fragrance (Synthetic perfumes) Fragrance of any kind isn’t good. It clogs the lymphatic system and induces major organ system toxicity. Also causes endocrine disruption.Cocamidopropyl Betaine. ...This foaming agent has been associated with skin and eye irritation and allergic contact dermatitis. Although the government regards it as safe, many people have negative reactions to it.Triclosan. ...With a moderate hazard rating, triclosan should be avoided at all costs. It can accumulate in our fat cells and keep our body in a state of toxicity. It causes irritation of the skin, eyes and lungs, and causes endocrine disruption and organ system toxicity.Polysorbates. ...Used to dissolve fragrance or other oil additives. Often found in conditioners. It leaves a residue on the skin and scalp, disrupts the skin’s natural pH and destroys the natural protective barrier of our skin and scalp. Polysorbate-80 is the worst of the bunch – but stay clear of all!Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) ...Often found in conditioners, PEG contains dangerous dioxin levels, often found as a by-product of the ethoxylation process in manufacturing. Dioxins have a direct link to cancer, and also cause organ system toxicity.Potassium Sorbate. ...Potassium sorbate is used as a preservative in hair-care products. It causes skin and organ system toxicity.Phenoxyethanol...Another preservative used in cosmetics and hair care products. Causes organ system toxicity, and is an irritant to the skin, eyes and lungs. The FDA even warned that phenoxyethanol can cause shut down of the central nervous system, vomiting and contact dermatitis.I replied to the seller in respect that their product contains Sodium Lauroyl and Sodium Lauroyl Glycinate, Phenoxyethanol and Cocamidopropyl Betaine. I am interested to know why the product isn't free from these three toxic ingredients, whether a minimum amount or not.

Do not like this product at all as I immediately had a bad reaction. Caused sore spots on my head and very bad dandruff. It is out of the return window as I used it too late for the first time and now I can’t use it or return it even though I’ve had a terrible reaction to it. Don’t recommend buying it at all. No way to contact seller either.

This is absolutely the best treatment my hair had, it's really amazing.Işık bought the conditioner as well and I can't believe how easy my hair was to style and my scalp is glowing Thank you

I would love to buy this product constantly and have my daughter use it too however I wish for the price to be lowered down for it is a pricey!
