I agree that PPDs are unlikely to turn up in shampoo [what for?], and
the SLS is in things, including toothpaste, most of us would never
think about. Some shampoos actually suds up too much, and then you
are forever getting them rinsed out, and have to remember just a tad
will do the job. Others just do not get things clean - and I find
this, sadly,to be true most of all in the so-called phosphate free,
enzyme-powered laundry liquids or powders. Besides, should you leave
a handwashing soaking overnight, there is a nasty smell and you have
to start over - no idea why, as we bathe every day, are vegetarians,
and the clothes, just things like knickers or bras, worn only once,
didn't stink when they went into the wash. I'd hate to have
some 'natural'shampoo product interact with my hair like that! One
has to remember that urine and sweat are 'natural,' too...but I don't
want to smell of them:)
