Clean beauty is gaining ground in our bathrooms and, to our great delight, is also making its way into hair care! It's time to get back to basics with reliable, clean hair products that are respectful of both humans and the planet, without compromising on effectiveness. Still hesitant to switch your beautiful mane routine to natural? Here are 4 reasons to get started.
Reason #1: A protected scalp
Beyond the hair, the entire scalp must be considered when talking about hair care. Indeed, the scalp is home to the hair root. If the scalp microbiome, or the set of microorganisms present on its surface, is balanced and healthy, then it is able to provide this root with the nutrients necessary for its health and growth. On the other hand, if the microbiome is disrupted, the entire hair suffers, which can lead to irritation, dandruff, or even brittle hair. To have hair in great shape, it is therefore essential to preserve the harmony of the scalp.
However, some conventional shampoos contain ingredients that alter the microbiome, such as sulfates, parabens, or silicones. On the surface, these chemical components appear to please the hair by making it soft and shiny, but behind the scenes, they tend to irritate and dry out the scalp.
Reason #2: A healthier composition
Some chemical components found in conventional shampoos contribute to water pollution and are neither renewable nor biodegradable. Adopting a natural hair care routine is an excellent way to protect yourself from using these potentially harmful ingredients for your scalp and our beautiful planet. A natural and effective hair care routine uses ingredients that are gentle on your scalp. To begin your transition to natural products, you can, for example, turn to patchouli and sage.
Patchouli is known to rebalance the microbiome and revitalize the hair ecosystem, including the scalp and hair. It reharmonizes sebum production and moderates flaking, which is responsible for the appearance of unsightly dandruff. Thanks to its healing properties, patchouli provides your scalp with comfort and well-being. From the Latin for "to save" or "to heal," sage protects and stimulates the scalp while softening hair. It brings shine and vitality to all hair types, prevents hair loss, and strengthens growth. Recognized for its benefits since ancient times, it's no coincidence that the saying goes, "He who has sage in his garden has no need of a doctor"!
Reason #3: Effective care
As you will have understood, the beauty of hair is linked to the good health of the scalp. Contrary to popular belief, natural care products are no less effective than those derived from petrochemicals. An example of natural effectiveness, the new Essentiel hair care products offer everyone a healthy scalp and beautiful, shiny hair. By choosing naturalness with up to 94% ingredients of natural origin , Essentiel offers clean, vegan products free of all silicones and other surfactants.
Both the gentle shampoo and the biome-friendly Essentiel solid shampoo gently cleanse the scalp and hair while strengthening, revitalizing, and protecting the hair ecosystem. Made with upcycled patchouli and organic sage, our two favorite ingredients, they are enriched with naturally derived micelles that act like magnets to gently trap all impurities without damaging the skin. To reinforce their action and make your hair even silkier and shinier, the Essentiel conditioner kicks in. It nourishes the lengths and ends without weighing the hair down. The hair fiber is repaired and durably protected. It also facilitates detangling, while remaining lightweight.
