Dove is a popular brand of hair care products that contains ingredients that nourish and protect the hair while also providing gentle cleansing. Here is an overview of the ingredients and materials in two popular Dove shampoos:
Dove Intense Repair Shampoo:
- Key Ingredients: Gluconolactone, Trehalose, Adipic Acid, Sodium Sulfate, PEG-45M, Dmdm Hydantoin.
- Positive: Contains polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that gently lifts off dead skin cells from the skin surface, making skin smooth and even.
- Negative: Contains Dmdm Hydantoin, which is a formaldehyde-releasing preservative that can cause skin irritation in some people.
Dove Nutritive Solutions Daily Moisture Shampoo:
- Key Ingredients: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycol Distearate.
- Positive: Contains NutriumMoisture complex, which is a blend of serum proteins that works to replenish lost moisture in the hair, giving you softer and smoother strands after use.
- Negative: Contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), which can be harsh on the scalp and strip away natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.
Dove offers several sulfate-free shampoos for those eliminating harsh sulfates from their hair care routine. They also use sodium laureth sulphate (SLES) and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) in their hair products because they know they have the most effective cleansing.
