Shampoo and conditioner are products many people use daily, so they are a natural place to start when you want to simplify ingredients. Zerotox can help you notice which formulas rely on more complex or more heavily flagged ingredient lists.
Looking at scores and flagged ingredients
Search for your usual shampoo, then explore alternative products in the same category with higher scores and fewer flagged ingredients. Look in particular at surfactants, fragrance components and colourants. Shorter lists with fewer flags do not guarantee a better experience, but they can be part of a more cautious approach.
If you change shampoo, pay attention to how your hair and scalp feel over time and consult professionals if you have ongoing concerns. Zerotox does not evaluate performance, only patterns in ingredient data.
