Most Shampoos Contain:
Propylene Glycol is a petroleum derivative and industrial antifreeze. It's so toxic that the EPA requires workers to wear protective gloves, clothing and goggles. Because PG penetrates the skin so quickly, the EPA warns against skin contact to prevent consequences such as brain, liver, and kidney abnormalities.
Miessence Contains:
Certified Organic Aloe Vera has healing, soothing, antibacterial, and moisturising properties.
Most Shampoos Contain:
