3 REASONS TO USE NATURAL HAIRCARE PRODUCTS

In Blog by admin

Washing hair is one of the self-care activities that we do daily, especially living in our hot, humid climate! With so many options of haircare products available, how do we make the right choice? Here are 3 reasons why you should be using NewLife™ natural haircare products.

1. Avoid Carcinogens & Harmful Chemicals

Did you know that many commercial haircare brands or treatments use formaldehyde or formaldehyde releasers such as bronopol or imidazolidinyl urea? Formaldehyde is commonly known as an irritant and a carcinogen but there are over 40 known formaldehyde releasers that are used as preservatives in personal care products.

Even though formaldehyde is harmful to our health, it is allowed to be used in products because those companies that use formaldehyde say that it is at very low concentrations which is not dangerous. However, they also caution that those with sensitive skin should avoid products that contain such ingredients. Our philosophy is that, especially for products that we use daily, we should avoid carcinogenic ingredients as much as we can.

NewLife™ natural haircare products contain no formaldehyde or formaldehyde releasers for your safety.

NewLife™’s Organic Care Natural Shampoo uses gentle and natural ingredients. It contains argan oil and essential oils of rosemary, orange and patchouli, along with vitamin E that all work together to improve scalp and hair health, promote hair growth and prevent hair loss.

ORGANIC CARE NATURAL CONDITIONER

NewLife™ Organic Care Natural Conditioner is a restorative and nourishing conditioner which uses natural oils to hydrate and protect your hair. It is suitable for everyday use and does not weigh your hair down. It keeps your hair soft and silky without the build-up of silicone on your hair shaft.

Other harmful chemicals commonly found in haircare products include: sulphates (SLS/SLES), phthalates, propylene glycol, PEGs, triclosan, EDTA and more. These chemical ingredients can irritate the skin and cause allergic reactions. NewLife™ haircare products do not use any of these ingredients, opting for more natural and higher quality ingredients for your peace of mind!

2. Moisturize Your Scalp with Essential Oils Instead of Silicones

Most store-bought haircare products contain silicones such as Dimethicone (a silicone-based polymer) to act as moisturizers for the scalp and hair. They coat the skin or hair to provide that “slip” or “glide” effect, making it feel softer or smoother and act as a protective layer for the scalp.

The problem with such silicones is that over time they can build residue, preventing moisture from entering the hair. This can cause hair to become dry, dull and more prone to breakage. They can also cause scalp irritation by clogging pores.

Instead of using silicones, NewLife’s™ natural haircare products use essential oils such as argan oil, extra virgin coconut oil, and castor oil to provide natural moisture to the hair and scalp without residue. Not only do they not clog the pores, they also protect and enhance the health of your hair and skin naturally. 

3. Essential Oils Are Better Than Fragrances!

In order to save on costs, most haircare brands use a variety of artificial fragrances to leave your hair smelling good after each shower. The problem with this is that these fragrances are synthetically blended with a variety of toxic chemicals. Synthetic fragrances are also known to cause cancers, reproductive issues, or asthma attacks. They may also cause hair loss or damage the scalp.

NewLife™ haircare products are 100% free of artificial fragrances, using premium natural essential oils instead. These essential oils, besides smelling good, also promote hair and scalp health!

“NO-POO” IS THE BEST WAY TO CARE FOR YOUR HAIR!

The “no-poo” method of haircare means avoiding many of the commonly-used chemical ingredients such as parabens, sulphates, silicones and more. This method is good for your health and also the environment! All ingredients in NewLife™ natural haircare products are COSMO and ECOCERT certified – meaning that you are contributing towards better environmental and social impact with each bottle that you purchase!
