Sulphates are emulsifiers and foaming agents that attract oil and water and assist to help shampoos lather up and foam, allowing grime, product build up and dead skin cells to be easily washed away with water.
Sulphates have been used extensively and safely since the 1930s, found in many personal care products including shampoo, body wash, facial cleanser and toothpaste.
There are varying types of sulphates, with the “-eth” version (used by muk Haircare) being the mildest for skin and hair. The cleansers chosen by muk are plant derived.
There is no scientific evidence to support rumours that sulphates are unsafe. However, muk Haircare respects that some people prefer to choose sulphate free and for those clients we have the muk Spa Argan Oil Repair range, with a coconut derived cleansing base.
