FAQBODY WASH, SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Sulfate Free means that our product does not contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS) as surfactants and cleansing agents. SLS & SLES are known skin irritant and may cause sensitization when used over a period of time. The molecular structure of SLS is small enough to allow it to penetrate to the lower layers of the skin where it is most irritating. They are used in a wide range of shampoos, bubble-baths, liquid soaps and toothpastes. Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS) is also used as a cleansing foaming agent but is less irritating to the skin.

Due to the potential risk of skin irritation, Sensenique Natural does not use SLES, SLS and ALS in any of our products.

Betaine Free means that our product does not contain Cocamidopropyl Betaine & Coco Betaine as surfactants and foam booster. Health concerns around Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Coco Betaine include allergic contact dermatitis, skin irritation and environmental toxicity.

Due to the potential risks, Sensenique Natural does not use Cocamidopropyl Betaine & Coco Betaine in any of our products.

Silicone Free means that we do not use silicone in our formulation. In the hair care industry, silicones help shampoos, conditioners and styling products to spread through your hair, resulting in smooth and shiny hair. Non-water-soluble silicones tend to build up, making hair look dirty and you may end up washing it more often than necessary. This vicious cycle will damage your strands, creating brittle, dry hair with split ends, flyaways and frizz.

In this premium blend, we use safe, toxin-free, gentle yet effective glucose, amino acids & fatty acids based surfactants. They are Decyl Glucoside (glucose based surfactant derived from coconut oil), Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, (amino acid based surfactant derived from coconut oil), Sodium Lauroamphoacetate (derived from coconut fruit and palm oil fruit) & Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (fatty acid based surfactants derived from coconut oil). They are known for their mild and anti-irritant properties and are especially suitable for products made for delicate skin and baby shampoos due to their gentle nature.

In our formulation,  we use 98%  ingredients of natural origin such as Argan oil, Olive oil, Jojoba seed oil, Macadamia seed oil, Ginger Root, Orange Peel, Peppermint and Lime pure essential oils, ECOCERT organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf juice , ECOCERT natural plant extracts, surfactants that are derived from natural sources such as coconut oil, coconut fruit and  palm oil fruit. These ingredients are soothing, moisturizing and kind to skin and hair.

It is important to add ingredients such as emulsifiers, solvents and some kind of preservative system to   products like body wash, shampoos and conditioners that contain natural ingredients, plant extracts and infusions.  Without them these products cannot be made, they will not work and also not safe to use.

All Sensenique Natural products are scented with Pure Essential Oils.

Sensenique Natural uses PET for its packaging. PET is globally recognized as a safe, recyclable packaging material. PET does not contain BPA, phthalates, dioxins, lead or cadmium.

There are 3 main reasons why we have chosen to use PET for our products.

REASON 1: 100% RECYCLABLE*

The latest recycling techniques and processes allow PET to be recycled many times. Recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) can be used to make many new products, including fiber for polyester carpet; fabric for T-shirts, long underwear, athletic shoes, luggage, upholstery and sweaters; fiberfill for sleeping bags and winter coats; industrial strapping, sheet and film; automotive parts, such as luggage racks, headliners, fuse boxes, bumpers, grilles and door panels; and new PET containers for both food and non-food products.

REASON 2 : SUSTAINABILITY*

PET is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly packaging option. A recent Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) conducted by the Allied Development Corporation determined how the environmental footprint and greenhouse gas emissions of manufacturing and transporting PET relates to alternative forms of packaging. The first study found that in North America, PET is the most favorable alternative when compared to aluminum cans and glass bottles for a 355 ml carbonated soft drink application. When measuring greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption, PET containers had the best performance.

These lightweight PET bottles require fewer raw materials to produce, less fuel for transport and are still completely recyclable.

REASON 3: INCREASED CONSUMER SAFETY

Since our hair care and body care are used in the bath, the use of glass could be dangerous if dropped. PET bottles do not pose such safety risks.
