Behind the label - the Ingredients we use
We know many of you want to learn more about the ingredients we use. It’s only natural to care about what you put on your hair and we want to help you make the right choices.
Let’s take a closer look at our ingredients and understand why we use them.
What do the experts say?
The fragrance ingredients we use in our products are safe and meet all the requirements of the IFRA (International Fragrance Association) Standards. They’re the ‘Fragrance Safety Guardians’, and at TRESemmé we always carefully follow their recommendations.
Silicones
Why do we use them?
Silicones are used in many hair care products. They are an essential ingredient in addressing many hair needs, including conditioning the hair, making it feel bouncier and easier to comb, taming frizz, adding shine, and reducing or helping prevent damage and breakage.
What do the experts say?
Various health authorities around the world and our safety scientists agree that silicones are safe to use.
If you prefer to use a hair product free from silicones, we recommend using our 0% Pro Pure range.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLS & SLES)
Why do we use them?
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLS and SLES), are important cleansing ingredients, often simply referred to as sulfates. These ingredients are key to giving you that everyday fresh feeling by helping to create a nice lather that effectively removes dirt from your hair.
What do the experts say?
SLS and SLES have an excellent safety record and have been used in cosmetic products for many years. We use these sulfates at concentrations approved by the Australian Poisons Scheduling Committee.
While prolonged contact with these sulfates directly on the skin may cause some people to experience irritation, we aim to formulate our products to provide the satisfying lather and clean with a minimal chance of irritation.
If you prefer to use a hair product free from sulfates, we recommend using our 0% Pro Pure range.
Alcohol
Why do we use it?
We use alcohol in a number of our hairspray products. Alcohol is needed to help provide the perfect hold for your hair style while allowing it to move naturally.
Some people prefer to use alcohol-free hairsprays as, when used in high concentrations, it can dry out the hair. However, we use minimal amounts that evaporate quickly in order to reduce the chance of hair becoming dry.
