This is a list of alkyl-sulfate-free shampoos, which means it includes products with olefin sulfonate, a potentially drying surfactant. Conversely, it excludes products with sodium laureth sulfate(SLES), a gentle sulfate. Furthermore, natural does not equal gentle, for everyone. As always, with any product, YMMV. This list was made without regard to any controversy over the "safety" of individual ingredients other than that some here are interested in avoiding parabens and silicones.
Except where noted, each product has at least one source where an exact list of ingredients can be found. If there is no live link, check under another product. From the lists, I have also color coded the products. If it says: "Salons; web beauty suppliers," that means I'm concerned about the reliability of some of the online sources I found. If someone else can recommend one, it would be much appreciated.
Key:
Product is natural, ie. made with whole ingredients, extracts, or is a castile-type soap.
Product has one or more mild cleansers.
Product has non-sulfate cleanser that may be drying.
*No online list of exact ingredients.
