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: 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.

Guests are saying
The shampoo is highly recommended for those with sensitive skin and allergies, as it is fragrance-free and free of common irritants. It effectively cleanses the hair and scalp, making it suitable for those with conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis. However, some guests find it drying and difficult to lather, which may not be ideal for all hair types.

FINALLY! An unscented, CLEAN shampoo!
My husband is allergic to artificial scents (fragrances, etc.) It's SO great to finally find a clean, unscented and fragrance-free shampoo! He loves it and this product is rated excellent on Yuka!

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!

It Totally Works For Super Sensitive Skin
It works for my son’s sensitive skin. He has mild eczema and dermatographic urticaria. Most regular shampoos make his head itch, even Head & Shoulders. This shampoo is the only one we have found to work among some of the odd the shelf sensitive skin shampoos. We learned about this brand from a support group. Give it a try.

Not My Favorite Option
Although I do like that I am able to use this safety, it definitely dries out my hair. Since I’m allergic to everything, I will probably have to keep purchasing this product, but I will try a few more options.

Very drying!
Sooo incredibly drying!!! This didn’t make my head itch due to allergens, which is good. But oh my gosh, my scalp and hair were instantly fried with using this just once. And each time I have used it, the same issue. It strips my hair so much and with having fine, curly hair, it’s just not cutting it for me. So expensive for a shampoo that ruins my hair! I suppose it works as an allergen friendly wash, but won’t use it again.

Avoiddd
At first I was like ooo this is finally something I’m not allergic to. Nope; started making my hair feel gross and made me lose a lot more hair than usual. Then I started breaking out from it so if you can stay far away. Not sure what they use in here but I see I’m not the only one with these issues. I used both the shampoo and conditioner and oooof is all I can say now

Decent on scalp, awful on hair
This was like using dish soap on my fine curly hair. Dried it out SO bad and I didn’t even use daily. It was good on my scalp although not nearly as moisturizing as Happy Cappy, a medicated baby shampoo.

Horrible
Horrible. Made my hair dry and fall out more than it usually does in the shower. Also gave me back acne, that I haven’t had since my teenage years. Conditioner did the same. Please don’t buy. 39 year old female

Truly unscented!
I love that this is truly unscented and has no irritating ingredients for my sensitive skin. I use this as a body wash too. The only downside for me is that it makes my hair more dry than the salon shampoo I’d been using before switching to this one.

Lost an INSANE amount of hair!
My allergist recommended this shampoo. I've been using it for over a year. It is the worst product ever! When my hair started falling out, I figured it was because I was using new products and adjusting to my allergies. Unfortunately, it is THIS shampoo. My once-thick hair has become extremely thin. I find myself brushing clumps out of my hair every night. I only want to warn others about the side effects of this product. Please avoid it at all costs!
