Thanks for sharing! One mystery to me is that literally any shampoo or shower gel always contains one of the sulfates. Makes me wonder whether they're not that evil if formulated well? Or perhaps products without them are out of the budget for most.. 🤔😀

I think sulfates aren’t that bad for hair & body , they’re just not great for our face
