SLS and paraben free ranges

8 replies

I know this has been done before but not too recently.

I'm looking to overhaul my skincare routine and start using more SLS and paraben free, natural products. Happy to pay a bit more for them and buy less "stuff" overall.

What ranges are SLS and paraben free? I use Liz Earle already which I really like, and L'Occitane (but some of their products have SLS).

If you buy SLS/paraben free products, what do you use?

Thank you. 🙏

Can I also ask people "in the know" to add hair products that don't contain methoisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone?
Toxic yuck that the EU said shouldn't be in products anymore and the companies are exploiting legal loopholes to keep putting it in things.

@oneproudmumma I use L'Occitane as they are paraben free and their stuff is all SLS free but sometimes contains some other sulphates (only their older formulations): https://group.loccitane.com/our-viewpoints
Would love to find some cheaper brands so watching this thread with interest!

@monpetitlapin this L'Occitane shampoo does have SLS in it, which is disappointing as I like their products. As you said, may be an older product. I know some of their products are SLS free but would rather find ranges whose ethos is that they don't use SLS and parabens full stop. Saves having to scrutinise labels!

I have been using for years and love Origins and also more recently Dr Hauschka (the latter more for makeup). For shampoo and conditioner I use Avalon Organics.

I'm allergic to SLS and use green people, and sensodyne for toothpaste (surprisingly it's in a lot of toothpastes). L'oreal also do an SLS free shampoo and conditioner.

Thank you, I have never heard of Avalon. I'll look up that brand. I have heard of De Hauschka and looking to buy some make up from them.

I can ONLY use Sensodyne otherwise my teeth are so sensitive ... I heard Sensodyne have SLS free ones but which ones are they please? 🙏
