Toxic ingredients in today's cosmetics are harmful to skin. Ingredients such as isopropyl alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate, DEA and MEA are known to have cancer causing properties,  generally strip your skin and hair of all its natural goodness, and can cause premature aging, dermatitis and inflammation. [1]

There are natural alternatives to these chemicals. After all how did people wash many years ago, before chemical cocktails were introduced into our daily cleanliness regime?

Here are two different methods to make your own shampoo and rinse.
1> The 'no-poo' Method. This involves using  baking soda to wash your hair and apple cider vinegar rinse (or lemon juice if you feel the smell is too overwhelming). This is a lovely video showing how to make it and how to use.

2> Make a simple natural ingredient shampoo, using castile soap. This video is a great demonstration of how to make it.
