Organic Beauty View

Washing yourself everyday will make you clean but the question is, unless you’re using organic shampoo, what exactly are you washing down the drain in that process? Contrary to what you might think, those soapy suds have the inverse effect on the environment and actually dirty up our waterways, not to mention can cause problems further down the line with damaging effects on delicate ecosystems, reproductive issues in animal species, and in some cases evolutionary mutations. Most conventional shampoo’s, conditioners, shower gels etc… contain a slew of harsh, sometimes toxic chemicals that run the gamut from sodium lauryl sulphate to phthalates and if that’s the effect they’re having on the environment, it begs the question why would you use them? Here are our picks of the ten best organic shampoo’s on the market, because when it comes to beauty… you don’t need to sacrifice anything to look great:
