Shower gel with or without sulphate How to choose?

Have you noticed the blooming number of beauty hygiene products that have on their label the mention "sulfate without"? Simple mode effect or real evolution of offers, here is how to navigate to make the right choice of shower gel.

How to identify sulphates?

Sulphates are actuallys of Washing bases. There are tens: ammonium lauryl sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulphate ... and as for any ingredient used in a shower gel, it can be either of synthetic origin or of vegetable origin. Unfortunately the INCI list that details the composition of a cosmetic does not identify its origin. Only the Cosmetic Cosmetic Cosmetic label allows you to guarantee that the sulfated ingredient will necessarily be vegetable origin. What is a good point in terms of environment both upstream of the processing of this washing base than downstream at the time of its biodegradability.

Why do we use them?

Sulphates provide a cleaning function Who for some people can cause a sensation of skin discomfort: itching, irritation, redness. These washing agents have the particularity of being very good degreasing, and produce a lot of foam. But this is not necessarily adapted to all. And in this case, if the formulator did not work the formula with ingredients that will compensate for the irritating side of the sulphates (the presence of a vegetable oil or aloe vera), the poorly rinsed products can cause a risk irritation.

Carole Breux, Research and Development Manager at Coslys Specifies us: " Coslys is a trademark for family, and developed products must be able to suit all. This is why any product before its marketing is undergoing skin and eye safety tests. If the results have a risk of irritation too importantly we reign the formula accordingly. "

During its creation in 2003, Coslys settled as a brand manufactured in France defending values of respect for the environment and the health of users.

What are they replaced?

Other ingredients such as cocoyl glutamate sodium obtained from coconut oil and sugars can replace the ingredients of the sulphate family. It is softer for the skin thanks to a less stripper washing function but also thanks to a less abundant foam. The hydrolipidic film of the skin will only be better preserved. " By offering products identified without sulphatesWe allow very sensitive people (children, people to sensitive skin ...) to have a solution adapted to their problem. "
