To wash away grease and dirt from the skin or hair, water is not enough; you need something that can dissolve the grease. To dissolve this grease, most skin and hair cleansing products contain surfactants. After water, it is the dominant ingredient in most common brands of shampoo, liquid soap, shower gel and bubble bath.The most common surfactant in soap and shampoo is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), but it is actually far too harsh a surfactant. It simply washes too clean hair and scalp, hands and body, and is not only irritating to the skin but also our environment when it gets into the wastewater.All skin on the face, body and scalp benefits from a natural microbiome and a good pH value. If you disrupt this by using too strong surfactant products or other products, you also disrupt the natural microbiome.If you choose a c/o Gerd soap or shampoo, you can be absolutely sure that you are only exposed to mild detergent surfactants. ALL of our cleansing skin and hair care products are kind to both your skin and our environment 💚
