These following ingredients are ingredients you may find in a body wash, or shampoo or conditioner. They're safe. You may not have seen them before on ingredient labels because you're used to seeing the "usual suspects" on the label, e.g. P.E.G., lauryl sulfate, laureth, dimethicone, etc. So the next time you see all these ingredients below, a shampoo or personal care product. IT'S O.K. Buy it. But look at all the other ingredients first.
Tocopherol - Vitamin E
Decyl glucoside - is a mild non-ionic surfactant used in cosmetic formularies including baby shampoo and in products for individuals with a sensitive skin. Many natural personal care companies use this cleanser because it is plant-derived, biodegradable and gentle for all hair types.
Sodium Coco Sulfate - is a naturally derived alternative to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in flake form. SodiumCocSulfate is derived from pure coconut oil. It can be used in a wide variety of personal care applications in which viscosity building and foam characteristics are of importance. The product formulates similar to synthetic alkyl sulfates, but is less defatting to the hair and skin. SCS being less soluble than synthetic alkyl sulfates leaves the skin and hair with a conditioned feel. It can be incorporated into shampoos, hand soaps, bath products, shaving creams and medicated ointments. It is especially useful for opaque, pearlescent, or cream products.
Polyquaternium-7 -Is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid. In cosmetics and personal care products, it is used in a wide variety of products including shampoos, hair conditioners and other hair products, bath soaps and cleansing products. The CIR Expert Panel evaluated the scientific data and concluded that Polyquaternium-7 was safe as used in cosmetics and personal care products.Belongs to the phytoalexin class of phytochemicals.
Resveratrol - is found in grapevines (Vitis vinifera L). It occurs in the vines, roots, seeds and stalks, but its highest concentration is in grape skins. Wine also contains resveratrol. Preliminary research results demonstrate that resveratrol may have anti-infective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Researchers believe that resveratrol is partially responsible for the cholesterol-lowering effects of red wine. Epidemiologic and clinical studies suggest that high consumption of resveratrol-rich foods may result in reduced cardiovascular disease risk, lowered total cholesterol, and lowered LDL cholesterol. Resveratrol's antioxidant properties may again be the mechanism at work in reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.
Monopotassium glutamate - is a potassium acid salt of glutamic acid. This compound is a non-salty MSG preservative alternative.
