Chemicals In Shampoo to Avoid When Pregnant

Experience voluminous hair and prevent split ends without harming your body, baby, or environment. Wash away toxic chemicals by regularly reading ingredient lists on your hair products. Scan labels to look for common shampoo ingredients to avoid when pregnant:

  • Sodium Benzoate - linked to ADHD in children [1]. 
  • Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) - may irritate the skin [2].
  • Dimethicone - may contain toxic impurities [3].
Healthy hair is important. So is a healthy baby. That's why you should choose a natural shampoo and conditioner for pregnancy.

Chemicals in Shampoo Packaging and Pregnancy

Plastic bottles can withstand long, hot showers...for centuries. Save 400 years of decomposition by using natural products with sustainable packaging [4]. 

The same plastic chemicals that litter the earth also linger inside you. These chemicals mimic your hormones, which can cause pregnancy issues.
