Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Is not organic as they make it sound as it has 1 harmful ingredient for the skin: I'm sad about this because this is one of the safest shampoos on the market, I have not found 1 without harmful chemicals yet, if Acure Labs were to update formula, and remove those 2 harmful ingredients then this shampoo would be 5 stars. My family and I used this shampoo multiple times. That's why there is the "Amazon Verified Purchase" in my review. All of us had the same reaction. The Mint Shampoo has another major issue, it creates a lot of dandruff, my relative who used the same shampoo had the same dandruff issue. I've used the Orange one (Argan Oil) and The Green one (Lemon Grass) and those did not produce the dandruff issue as much. With the acure mint shampoo is like snow is coming out from your hair. (very embarrassing if you are at work, because is like you did not take a shower) I can not recommend this shampoo at all until Acure removes the harsh chemicals from shampoo and solves the dandruff issue that this mint shampoo causes. If you like the shampoo, then keep using it and buy as many as you want, but please stop writing non sense comments. Perhaps the shampoo reacts different on different people. The conclusion in my family is that we will not buy this brand again unless the manufacturer removes the harmful chemicals from shampoo, and fixes the dandruff issue. TOCOPHERYL ACETATE D ALPHA TOCOPHEROL ACETATE (VITAMIN E) Cancer, Ecotoxicology, Allergies/immunotoxicity, Contamination concerns (HYDROQUINONE) POTASSIUM SORBATE Allergies/immunotoxicity, Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive) ewg. org/skindeep/product/524960/Acure_Organics_Shampoo%2C_Moroccan_Argan_Oil_%26_Argan_Stem_Cell/ annmariegianni. com/ingredient-watch-list-tocopheryl-acetate-the-potentially-irritating-form-of-vitamin-e What is Tocopheryl Acetate? This ingredient is basically a form of vitamin E created in the laboratory. Manufacturers take natural vitamin E and add acetic acid to it. Acetic acid is the main component of vinegar. The word "acid" means just what you'd think--it's corrosive, and attacks the skin. A simple carboxylic acid, it's used in the production of chemicals for photographic film, wood glue, and synthetic fibers and fabrics. Why would manufacturers mix perfectly good vitamin E with this irritating ingredient. Two words: cheaper, and longer lasting. Adding the acid to vitamin E makes it last longer on the shelves. That makes it easier for manufacturers to process, ship, store, and sell their products. What are the Concerns? The concerns with this ingredient are first, that it can be potentially irritating to skin, causing redness, rashes, and potential allergic reactions. According to the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) of the ingredient, tocopheryl acetate helped protect against oxidative damage, but produced skin sensitizing or skin irritating effects in one animal study. A 1991 study detailed four cases of contact dermatitis caused by cosmetic creams that contained tocopheryl acetate. The CIR, though it concluded that tocopheryl was safe for cosmetics, also noted that studies with the ingredient demonstrated some "enhancement of photocarcinogenesis," which means it may actually encourage the carcinogenic effects of UV rays. High doses of this ingredient have also been found in animal studies to cause tumor formation. Though that's not likely to be a concern if you're using only a little of the ingredient, as in most personal care products, the concern is the potential buildup over time. We simply don't have the necessary safety studies on this ingredient when used for several times a day over many years. Another issue comes from the Environmental Working Group (EWG), which notes concerns regarding contamination with hydroquinone, a whitening compound. During the manufacturing process, tocopheryl acetate may be contaminated with hydroquinone, which can also cause dermatitis, increase sensitivity to UV rays, and may have potentially carcinogenic properties. Why Take the Risk? Of all the potentially harmful ingredients, this is probably one of the milder ones. It is vitamin E, which can have some benefits. The thing is, why not just stick with vitamin E? Why take the risks with tocopheryl acetate when you don't have to?
