Eco-Kids and Shampoo

Are the ingredients in your kids' lather-uppers fooling you?

The Bite:

If you think you need the synthetic stuff in conventional 'poos to get soft, shiny hair? Skip the charade, and Choose Organic Plant Based Shampoos for your squirt. They work just as well, minus the sulfites and artificial fragrances that mess with our health and waterways. 

The Benefits: 

• Faking out nasty chems. Conventional kids' shampoos often contain cancer-linked petrochems and the toxic foaming agents such as SLES or SLS. Our picks use essential oils and herbal extracts to gently clean hair.
• No clean-water fraud. Synthetic chems in regular shampoos, such as parabens and phthalates, can get through water purification filters and into drinking water.
