Follicare® Revitalizing Shampoo with UV Protection deep cleans the scalp and protects the hair from damaging UV rays. It fortifies and strengthens hair while soothing and moisturizing. This unique formulation contains no sulfates or parabens which can damage the hair and scalp.

Before we discuss some of the key ingredients in Follicare®’s Revitalizing Shampoo with UV Protection, it’s important to highlight what is not in the product.

You will not find any sulphates or parabens that could harm your hair, scalp and skin.

Sulfate Free
Sulfates are a common detergent added to shampoos. Sulfates tend to be harsh on the skin and have a drying effect on the hair and scalp. They can cause red, itchy bumps on the scalp, a condition known as contact dermatitis. Another problem with sulfates is that they may lead to hair loss with prolonged use. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, scientists believe that sulfates may clog pores and lead to inflammation of the scalp.

Paraben Free
Parabens are synthetic preservatives commonly found in shampoos. They have a chemical structure similar to estrogen that may interfere with production of the body’s natural hormone system. Also, they may cause an allergic reaction on the skin of some people. With alternatives available, there is no need to take these risks.

Now that we’ve discussed the key things that we don’t want in our shampoo, let’s discuss the key ingredients that are in our shampoo:

Solamer® GR8 counteracts the damaging effects of UV light on hair fibers as it:

• Protects the hair by providing substantive, broad-spectrum UV-A and UV-B protection to hair.
• Maintains the tensile strength of hair after UV exposure to keep your hair strong
• Prevents your hair color from fading due to the sun. UV-A and UV-B exposure can cause degradation and bleaching of natural and artificial hair color
  

Actiplex is a synergistic combination of natural botanical ingredients that helps deep clean the scalp while soothing and fortifying the hair. It contains Aloe vera, rosemary, nettle, sage and chamomile that clean, fight inflammation and sooth the scalp.
