Dread Products
Borax is no longer available on the uk market due to its mild toxicity... even with a the 'borax sustiutate' it's adviseable it doesn't come in contact the with you skin. I believe it is suggested that borates in themselves have an ability to leave leave a residue still as borates are not entirely water soluble..
Bronners- I've been reading mixed reviews about using it on dreads utility if you have to then heavily dilute...
I think the only way to over come residue build up due to hard water is periodic Apple Cider Vinegar Rinses. But I am lucky living in the South West as the water is soft here...
Yeah that ingredients mix doesn't look so great now looking closer at...
Aqua- Water,
Ammonium Lauryl Sulphate - (an ALS not an SLS or SLES technically, I gues this is how they can market it as containing 'No SLS/SLES or parabens'...??? Does it make it any better than them... my thinking is perhaps no...
Cocamidopropyl Beltane - derive/ originates from coconuts. Deemed 'safe' could be considered sidereal natural, known to cause irritation...
Coconut Diethanolamide - Coconut once more, used to make the product foam, diethanolamine is the stabaliser.. in some can cause irritation.
Polyquaternium-7 - this is how theyou keep frizz to a minimum... possibly linked to demetitis issues...
Silicone Quaternium-22 - used for conditioning purposes, no linked effects yet...
PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Triolate - links to cancer...
Propylene Glycol - toxic effects dependant on grade and level of contact with product...
Phenoxyethanol - can cause allergic reactions with the skin...
Oh this leaves me no closer on what to wash my hair with????. Haha
