Here’s how to tell the difference—and why it matters.
Is Your “Organic” Shampoo Really Organic?
Most hair care brands throw around the word organic—but here’s the truth:
Unless it’s COSMOS Certified, it’s probably not the real deal.
What to check at home:
❌ Ingredients like Polyquaternium, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, or Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate
❌ Vague “natural” & "organic' claims without certification
❌ Preservatives like Benzyl Alcohol + Sodium Benzoate (used to preserve shelf life—not your scalp

Because your scalp deserves real care—not clever marketing and greenwashing.
