1. What is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate?
Sodium Lauryl (Laureth) Sulfate (SLS) is currently the primary foaming agent of Western civilization. SLS is found in shampoos, bath gels, car washes, dish detergents, bar "soaps", laundry detergents, etc. SLSis a wetting and dispersing agent, emulsifier, degreaser and foamier. We believe SLS is used because it is an inexpensive detergent that foams well.

2. Why we don’t use it in our products?
In its final report on the safety of sodium lauryl sulfate, the Journal of the American College of Toxicology notes that this ingredient has a "degenerative effect on the cell membranes because of its protein denaturing properties." What's more, the journal adds, "high levels of skin penetration may occur at even low use concentration. May increase hair loss, and promote skin and scalp irritation in sensitive individuals. May produce skin and hair damage including cracking and inflammation.” SLS is a known skin irritant and used in lotion tests to irritate the skin - then the soothing effects of the lotion are tested on the irritated skin.
Additional studies have found that sodium lauryl sulfate is heavily deposited on the skin surface and in the hair follicles. Damage to the hair follicle could result from such deposition.
We pledge to conduct our business in an environmentally-aware manner emphasizing re-use and recycling, the use of natural base ingredients, and the application of appropriate technology.

3. Why soy?
The Soya protein is hydrolyzed to provide the nutrients hair needs without the harmful by-products that destroy its natural beauty and luster. It is particularly effective for dry and chemically treated hair.

4. What is “Concha Nacar”?
The main ingredient of Concha Nacar is Mother of Pearl - the inner coating found in certain sea shells - which is rich in calcium carbonate. After the shells are cleaned, they are soaked in lemon juice for at least 24 hours to soften them. These shells are then ground down into a fine cream and infused with aromatic herbs and vitamins. The result? A simple, all-natural beauty cream that will give your skin a smooth, flawless appearance. This moisturizer will help you look your best - naturally.
