Super Shower Gel

Description

I’ve tried your Non-Soap Skin Cleansers and like them. How is your Shower Gel different?

Our Super Shower Gel is a wonderfully versatile product. We affectionately call it a Whole Body Moisturizing Shampoo because it truly will take care of all your personal hygiene needs, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Super Shower Gel is thicker than the Non-Soap Skin Cleansers and contains extra moisturizers and conditioners. It makes a great shampoo for all hair types except dry or coarse, and it is fabulous for shaving.

Is your Super Shower Gel phosphate free?

Yes. Our formulas contain no phosphates. They are also free of chlorine derivatives, colorings, and artificial fragrances.

Is your Super Shower Gel all natural? I am concerned about artificial and synthetic ingredients.

All ingredients in our formula are derived from natural sources. However, this does not mean that they are not synthesized or refined. Natural ingredients are neither inherently safer nor of better quality, and often natural ingredients are less effective than their synthetic counterparts. An all-natural soap would be made from lye, ash, and animal tallow, none of which are good for your skin.

Is your Super Shower Gel safe for children to use?

Yes. Our product is mild and gentle enough for children. And kids love the fun, fruity scent!

I live on a property that uses a septic system. Is your Super Shower Gel safe for my system and the environment?

Yes. Our formulas are biodegradable and phosphate free. They pose no threat to your septic system or the environment.

Used as a wetting agent and amphoteric (either positively or negatively charged depending on the alkalinity or acidity of the water) surfactant in non-irritating shampoos and cleansers. Sodium Laureth Sulfate is much milder than Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which is why we use it.
