Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am actually quite shocked that a product that contains mainly a bunch of synthetic detergents is called organic. Consider what we have on the top of the ingredients list. DECYL GLUCOSIDE Does it sound natural to you? No, because it is actually a synthetic chemical. It is a nonionic surfactant that is used for its cleansing and foaming properties. It is produced by the reaction of glucose from corn starch with the fatty alcohol decanol which is derived from coconut. Just because it started with the natural ingredient doesn't mean that we have the natural product at the end of the process. It is still a chemical detergent. Another concern is that it is not assessed for safety in cosmetics COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE The producer states it is derived from coconut oil. Yes, that and dimethylaminopropylamine. It is a synthetic cleansing agent; it has been associated with irritation and allergic contact dermatitis Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate Also a synthetic detergent which is not assessed for safety in cosmetics by industry panel. The study found that that a blend of Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate was more gentle on skin than a blend of Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Coco Betaine. So it seems to be safer but is still a synthetic chemical. SODIUM LAUROYL OAT AMINO ACIDS It is a sodium salt of the condensation product of lauric acidchloride with the amino acids derived from Avena Sativa (Oat) Protein (q.v.). Nothing natural in this one either. Not assessed for safety in cosmetics by industry panel DIMETHYL LAURAMINE OLEATE It is a synthetic hair Conditioning and viscosity controlling agent, a salt of Dimethyl Lauramine (q.v.) and oleic acid. Not assessed for safety in cosmetics by industry panel Maybe those ingredients are better alternatives for the traditional harsh chemicals that are being used elsewhere, but they are certainly not natural! They are and always will be synthetic chemicals produced in the lab and your body will probably treat some or all of them as a foreign substance even though you might not get an initial reaction to them. Apart from that you need to use a lot of product for one washing session. The dispenser is very narrow so you have to pump 10 or 20 doses for it to produce any considerable foam. I understand it is a trade-off for milder ingredients but for me it's certainly overpriced considering it is not even natural.
