Tea Tree Oil Shampoo
|
One of the common irritants in shampoo, sodium lauryl sulfate, is up to 25 times more poisonous than tea tree oil. A mere two tablespoons ingested is likely to kill you.
A close cousin,Ammonium laureth sulfate, is a known skin irritant in high concentrations.
Some shampoos may have up to 30% Ammonium Laureth Sulfate. This potentially dangerous chemical is found in some inexpensive brands of shampoo with tea tree oil.
Some studies suggest that sodium lauryl sulfate may enter into and remain in heart tissue. The long term effects are unknown. Sodium lauryl sulfate may cause changes to skin cells and may damage hair follicles.
I know of one common brand of tea tree oil shampoo that is often the least expensive brand in the USA, along with other fragrances it occupies a large amount of shelf space in most major grocery stores, drug stores, and discount stores like WalMart and Kmart.
In fact, most store brands, and many salon brands, contain one or both of these chemicals.
Protect Your Familys Health
Some people have associated tea tree oil shampoo with an increase in scalp irritations, but this is not exactly accurate. Tea tre oil is not the culprit, but it may instead be a cheap or inferior shampoo product that is causing the irritation.I would highly recommend spending a little extra to buy a high quality shampoo without the Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Why add possible carcinogens into your system through the scalp?
What's a Great Tea Tree Oil Shampoo
to use in your home?
My family uses a shampoo containing tea tree oil, that's vitamin enriched with vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamins C and E. It also has 16 nutritional and herbal extracts.

Our shampoo containing tea tree oil smells great and the whole family can use it, since it doesn't have a feminine scent, but rather smells fresh and clean.
Besides, with tea tree oil shampoo hair gets the benefit of synergistic action of tea tree oil and the other herbs and oils working together to provide maximum benefits to my skin, scalp, and hair!
