Is anyone informed about chemicals that are found in products like soap, shampoo, shaving foam and other agents placed on the skin? I have heard that there are lots of chemicals in these that enter your system through the skin, and that this should be avoided.
For a very long time I've not used shampoo, which was likely as when I was about 16 I found that the standard normie shampoos are too full of junk. So I began washing my hair with soap. I didn't think much of this until earlier this year, when, for no reason at all I bought some shampoo. This was at the same time I started the Bryan Johnson blueprint diet and supplement routine. This has something in it that improves hair quality. So I attributed the improvement in my hair to whatever that supplement was - I forget the name. But I later realised it was actually the shampoo that was leaving my hair shiner and healthier. Since I've tried several different shampoos, and the best is pura d'or - Professional Grade Shampoo:
PURA D’OR maximum strength system features 17+ key active ingredients in a premium organic Aloe Vera based formula, clinically tested to help combat hair loss due to breakage.* This professional grade system was developed with an exclusive proprietary blend to fortify thinning hair and provide maximum hydration for stronger, healthier-looking strands, with increased volume and shine.
Ingredients:
This does not include Sodium laureth sulfate (SELS), which I have long heard about as something to avoid that is in most globo-cosmetic products. The above shampoo is said to be something that promotes a natural and healthy oil environment in the scalp, while SELS is said to abrasively remove natural oils from the scalp. Apparently this can create a situation where the scalp overproduces natural oils.
But I see this product has a lot of chemical sounding things at the beginning. I don't know what to make of these, but it seems these products aren't very good without something like this.
Another good one I tried that is more expensive is Patricks SH1 shampoo:
For deoderant, I tried buying a few products from Etsy that were home made from natural ingredients. But all of them were very poor, essentially melting into a not very usable blob. I've found two that appear to be very clean.
