  1. Interesting poll. I used to work in a dye laboratory and remember some fancy looking shampoo. The shampoo was basically dishwashing detergent. All they added is one drop of some dye to make it look like a million dollars, and all the advertisement about natural herbs was completely false.
    I do think people should know about the ingredients that is in shampoo.
    Some shampoo causes people to get psoriasis, a type of skin condition of the scalp.

    • Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I try to be concious about the ingredients in my cosmetics, but unfortunately there are companies that just lie about them. It’s really a pity. I have found a few brands that are okay and I stick to them.
