Q: How can this be considered free and clear and for ultra sensitive and reactive skin when it has so many chemicals and ingredients are not organic (further adding to the chemical load)?

submitted by kca - 2 years ago

  • A: Acrylates copolymer may be related to DMAPA allergy and it doesnt state their source. As well as Glucosides being made from Toluenesulfonic acid which toluene is also used in paint thinner and residues of it exist in the finished product most likely. They just want your money

    submitted byNicoleM99 - 5 months ago

  • A: Lauryl glucoside: kernel oil, corn sugar or coconut. Coco-glucoside: coconuts. Acrylates copolymer: organic compound. Sodium cocoyl glutamate: coconuts. List goes on. Stop being afraid of long words.

    submitted bystopbeingabozo - 2 months ago

  • A: Our ingredient philosophy and review is time tested, thorough and take the skin of sensitive skin people. While no product can be “chemical free,” ingredients used in Vanicream Products are carefully vetted by PhD scientists for quality, safety, efficacy and function by reviewing the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) assessment, manufacturer/supplier information, peer reviewed journals, National Institute of Health (NIH) and FDA for their intended use and concentration. Special attention is given to allergenic potential. All new ingredients are tested by the Quality Control Laboratory, and an ingredient review committee who reviews and approves new ingredient submissions. Additionally, all finished products are dermatologist tested by HRIPT (human repeated insult patch test) to evaluate the potential for skin sensitization and/or irritation which also confirms the overall product safety.

    Drying and hair loss

    I have always struggled with hair loss since I was young so it’s easy to miss when a shampoo is causing me to lose hair. I’ve been using this shampoo for months and every time I’ve used it, it was hard to lather. Making my roots get knotted. When I would go in to condition my hair clumps of hair would come out. My hair would continue to shed way too much throughout the day and left it dry, brittle, and fragile. I decided to buy another shampoo for sensitive skin and there was. HUGE difference the first time I used it. Never ever using vanicream again. It’s gonna take a long time to get my hair back to normal

    Very Damaging!!!

    One star is too generous for the damage this caused to my daughters hair. Her hair has been falling out so badly. She had such healthy, full, shiny, bouncy long hair and this destroyed it. It is so bad that clumps fall out every time we brush and the amount that falls out when she washes her hair is just as bad. I saw a minimum of 5 strands fall out as she walked past me yesterday. I was so concerned I took her to the doctor and had a complete blood panel done to rule out any health issues. We started using this because she has sensitive skin and had eczema when she was younger so we wanted something gentle and fragrance free. Never again!! I am so angry at myself for not realizing it was the shampoo sooner! She has been using this since Nov 25 and I have no idea how long it will take for her hair to recover for this damage. I just pray that it does recover:(

    Works well with hard water, curly hair, and sensitive skin

    I have fine, curly hair and very hard water, making my hair prone to buildup. I'm also allergic to most conventional products. This shampoo leaves my hair very soft, bouncy, and voluminous, with no buildup, and my curls love it. You need a decent amount to get a good lather, and you need to scrub for a few minutes, but that's well worth the payoff of no buildup or allergic reactions.

    Great for scalp irritation

    My dermatologist had me switch to vanicream unscented shampoo and conditioner to help combat scalp irritation due to a medical condition. Vanicream has helped a lot.

    My new favorite

    I've dealt with irritated scalp, oily roots, dry ends, and recently wiry grey hair...I've gone from expensive shampoos to trying to make my own for relief. Until I found Vanicream shampoo, I thought I would never like my hair again. Please, never change the formula! My hair is smooth, soft, and my scalp is calm. All is good.

    Cleans hair without irritation

    This is one of the best shampoos for those with a sensitive scalp. It does a great job cleaning my hair without irritating my scalp. It’s a little pricey but it’s worth it

    Okay shampoo

    I used this for a little over a month but have started noticing I'm losing a LOT of hair. I switched to this shampoo because I break out badly if i use shampoos like Biolage and Garnier. Guess I'll have to find something else for sensitive skin.

    It took about a week to get used to, now I love it.

    I used to have a sensitive, dry, itchy scalp. This shampoo has been a game-changer. I no longer have an itchy, flakey scalp. Other products like Head and Shoulders, leave my hair oily and needing to be washed halfway through the day, I still have flakey, itching skin. With big-name brands like Pantene, my hair feels clean, but my scalp itches and burns, and the scent is too strong. Prescription shampoo smells horrible and isn't realistic to use long term. Vanicream shampoo has seriously helped me feel confident, clean, and comfortable. I am also super sensitive to scents, this is scent-free and I love it!

    Review of Shampoo

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My specialist recommended using these products and fell in love with the shampoo and conditioner! It makes my hair feel clean without stripping the color! Great product! I can't wait to try the hairspray!Can you guys make hand sanitizer too?
