Silicone-free shampoo is really "silicon-free"?


Why is the price of a product that does not contain silicone oil more expensive than that of silicone oil?


The after-sales staff of OLY China's official website said: The reason why the price of silicone-free products is higher is because the plant extract added to keep the hair from worrying after removing the silicone oil.


Compared with the ingredients table of "OLY Salon exclusive silk spring purifying shampoo (without silicone oil)" and "OLY essential oil care shampoo (silicone containing oil)", it can be found that the silicone oil-free shampoo does not contain "polydimethylsiloxane". "And more "tea tree essential oil ingredients."


So, isn't all the silicone-free shampoo added with plant extracts?


The investigation found that in addition to some of the plant essential oils containing different ingredients in the silicone-free shampoos labeled “Plant Essentials” and “Pure Natural Plant Essential Oils”, other silicone-free shampoo products do not contain plant essential oils.


How do these silicone-free products keep your hair smooth after washing?


According to industry insiders, some shampoos that do not contain silicone oil will actually add similar ingredients. For example, cetyl alcohol, sunflower oil, and higher fatty alcohols, and these ingredients are more likely to cause discomfort, but are less secure. Since there is no uniform standard in the market, there will be some manufacturers selling silicon shampoo at the price of silicon-free shampoo.
