Conditioner without silicones

Silicones are used in the cosmetics industry to make skin and hair supple, form a protective film and make the hair appear shiny. Silicones are particularly effective for fine, thin and dry hair in the short term, as they envelop the hair structure, smooth the cuticle and make the hair immediately soft and easier to comb. However, with long-term use, silicones can dry out the hair as they prevent conditioning agents from penetrating the hair.

It is best to use products containing silicone only temporarily. If you want to switch to silicone-free care, first cleanse your hair with a deep cleansing shampoo to remove non-water-soluble silicones and then choose a shampoo and conditioner without silicones that suit your hair type.

Conditioner without sulfates

Sulfates are responsible for the foaming and cleansing effect in conditioners and other cosmetic products. They are water-soluble but can cause irritation to the scalp and cause itching. If you experience itching after washing your hair, it may be a good idea to switch to a sulphate-free conditioner.

However, you should also be careful with sulphate-free conditioners, as the missing sulphates are often replaced by other chemicals that can also cause skin irritation. It is advisable to choose a mild conditioner that preserves the skin's natural protective barrier and does not dry it out. Products containing sulphates can damage this protective layer, allowing harmful substances to penetrate the skin. Many manufacturers are therefore now focusing on mild, natural ingredients.

Conditioner without parabens

Parabens are used as preservatives in food and cosmetic products to extend their shelf life and achieve an antibacterial effect. If you want to avoid parabens, there are numerous alternatives on the market that often do not contain silicones or sulphates. Many brands now offer conditioners without parabens that use other preservatives to ensure durability. Without preservatives, fungi, bacteria and germs could form, posing health risks. Parabens remain popular due to their effectiveness and low likelihood of skin reactions.
