20 Things You Didn't Know About... Skin



By Sean Markey | Tuesday, February 06, 2007

1.  It's your body's largest organ, despite what the readers of Maxim think.

2.  An average adult's skin spans 21 square feet, weighs nine pounds, and contains more than 11 miles of blood vessels.

3. The skin releases as much as three gallons ofsweat a day in hot weather. The areas that don't sweat are the nail bed, the margins of the lips, the tip of the penis, and the eardrums.

4. Ooh, that smell:Body odor comes from a second kind ofsweat—a fatty secretion produced by the apocrine sweat glands, found mostly around the armpits, genitals, and anus.

5. Yum! The odor is caused by bacteria on the skin eating and digesting those fatty compounds.

6. Breasts are a modified form of the apocrine sweat gland.

7. Fetuses don't develop fingerprints until three months' gestation.

8. Without a trace: Some people never develop fingerprints at all. Two rare genetic defects, known as Naegeli syndrome and dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, can leave carriers without any identifying ridges on their skin.

9. Fingerprints increase friction and help grip objects. New World monkeys have similar prints on the undersides of their tails, the better to grasp as they swing from branch to branch.

10. Blowin' in the wind: Globally, dead skin accounts for about a billion tons of dust in the atmosphere. Your skin sheds 50,000 cells every minute.

11. There are at least five types of receptors in the skin that respond to pain and to touch.

12. One experiment revealed that Meissner corpuscles—touch receptors that are concentrated in the fingertips and palms, lips and tongue, nipples, penis and clitoris—respond to a pressure of just 20 milligrams, the weight of a fly.

13. In blind people, the brain's visual cortex is rewired to respond to stimuli received through touch and hearing, so they literally "see" the world by touch and sound.

14. "In the buff" became synonymous for "nude" in 17th-century England. The term derives from soldiers' leather tunics, or "buffs," whose light brown color apparently resembled an Anglo-Saxon backside.

15. White skin appeared just 20,000 to 50,000 years ago, as dark-skinned humans migrated to colder climes and lost much of their melanin pigment.

16. I see very, very white people: Albinos are often cast as movie villains, as seen in The Da VinciCode, Die Another Day, The Matrix Reloaded, and—inexplicably—the 2001 flick Josie and the Pussycats. Robert Lima of Penn State suggests that people associate pale-skinned albinos with vampires and other mythical creatures of the night.

17. More than 2,000 people have radio frequency identification chips, or RFID tags, inserted under their skin. The tags can provide access to medical information, log on to computers, or unlock car doors.

18. Flesh for fantasy: At the Baja Beach club in Barcelona, customers can get an implanted RFID "debit card" and party until their funds are exhausted.

19. The Cleveland Public Library, Harvard Law School, and Brown University all have books clad in skin
stripped from executed criminals or from the poor.

20. Hopefully, they didn't have to reprint it: One such volume is Andreas Vesalius's pioneering 16th-century work of anatomy, De HumaniCorporis Fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body).

What toxic chemicals is your body absorbing?

Top alert: children's bodies absorp 40-50% more than adults. They are at higher risk for diseases later in life when exposed to toxins.

20+ things you didn’t know about Mr. P. – but should!

The One-Eyed Monster. The Magic Stick. The Trouser Snake. No, we’re not talking about the lineup for the local circus act, we’re talking about the penis! Silly nicknames aside, a man’s penis is loaded (pun not intended) with fascinating anatomical mysteries. Check out our racy list of 20 -- yes 20! -- things you never knew about penises! 



Yes, you can break that boner 
It may sound like a scene from Saw, but trust us, penile rupture is very real. It tends to happen mostly during vigorous sex, but overly enthusiastic solo action can also be to blame. Most guys who’ve experienced the unthinkable, report hearing a popping noise, followed by excruciating pain. And as profoundly humiliating as it may be, a trip to the ER is in order, since an untreated fracture can lead to permanent erectile dysfunction (ED).

Shrinkage is not a myth
George and Jerry really did have their facts straight -- cold weather and cold water are a penis’ mortal enemies. “Testicles need to be warm to effectively make sperm and testosterone,” explains Dr. Fiske. So after a dip in the pool your guy’s tools will literally huddle up against him to stay toasty -- kinda like you do.

Smoking isn’t just bad for your lungs
Turns out that human chimney you’re dating may actually be less of a stud than his healthier compatriots. It’s no secret that smoking clogs the arteries, including those that fill the penis with blood at that critical moment. This means smokers may have a harder time rising to the occasion. Bet he quits now!

Your guy’s penis does have a mind of its own
We’ve suspected this since high school and now we have the medical chops to back it up. “The penis is controlled by the nervous system,” says Dr. Fiske, “which means erections can occur at random.” Take, for example, that morning wood he’s always so eager to share. It’s most likely the result of impulses firing from the brain during REM sleep.

The U.S. is not foreskin-friendly
As protective as guys are of their family jewels, a whopping 75 percent of their sons still get sliced and diced. But maybe they’re onto something. “Research has shown some slight health benefits to circumcision,” says Dr. Fiske, “such as less urinary tract infections and a decreased risk of contracting HIV.”

Most penises are created equal
So forget what you saw in Boogie Nights. “Adult penises typically measure between 3 and 4 inches when flaccid and 5 to 6 inches when erect,” says Dr. Fiske. What’s more, when it’s time to get busy, a man who started out on the small side, can end up expanding proportionally more than larger dudes. Just tread carefully when sharing this bit of anatomical trivia -- none of the guys we talked to found it reassuring.

Our guys stack up pretty well compared to other mammals
Here’s some good news to share with your sweetie: His erect organ is actually pretty large compared to other animals. Chimpanzees, for instance, have equipment that’s about half the size of the human male’s. Of course, our guys do pale in comparison to the blue whale, whose penis is 11 feet long (but who needs that!).

Curves are common
The vast majority of penises lean ever so slightly to the left or right when rigid (you were probably just too distracted to notice). However some bend so dramatically (or curve up or down) that having sex is almost impossible. This is known as Peyronie's Disease and happens when the penis doesn’t expand evenly during a hard-on.

Don’t blame dear old dad
Unlike those baby blues, penis size, thickness and shape are not genetic. Penises are actually formed in utero when those wild and crazy male hormones kick in. So if your guy’s unhappy with what he’s got, he has no one to point the finger (or any other appendage) at but Mother Nature.

Guys are programmed to finish quickly
So don’t take it personally. “The true purpose of intercourse is procreation,” explains Dr. Fiske, “and men have evolved to have sex just long enough to get the job done.” In fact 85 percent of guys can seal the deal in 3 minutes or less, however it’s the wise man who hangs in there long enough for his partner to catch up -- especially if he wants her to make breakfast in the morning.

A guy doesn’t need his brain to get off
Okay, no big surprise here, but we did learn that his “O” actually starts with his spine. “The signal to ejaculate is the result of muscle contractions in the spinal cord and pelvis,” says Dr. Fiske. Sort of gives new meaning to the dis, ‘you’ve got no backbone.’

Staying power isn’t always a good thing
Yep, we’re talking about those Viagra commercials that always seem to elicit a chuckle. And although guys pride themselves on their ability to go at it like the Energizer Bunny, an erection that simply won’t go away isn’t a miracle, but a medical emergency. “If the blood flow that causes an erection doesn’t eventually leave the penis,” explains Dr. Fiske, “serious complications can result, like blood clots.”

Having a vasectomy isn’t a fast track to freedom
Sperm are tenacious little suckers and can hang around, ready, willing and able to cause trouble, for up to two months post-op. So it’s important to use some kind of protection until your hubby’s doc gives him the all clear. And just in case he’s whining about having this simple little procedure (which, by the way, is far less invasive than a tubal ligation), Dr. Fiske promised us that getting snipped has no effect on a man’s sexual prowess.

Blue-balls really do exist
Men really do get "blue-balls." Technically called "prostatic congestion," the achiness in the testicles is caused by "trapped" blood. You know that crap he lays on you about orgasms being the only way to relieve it? He's right. But not so fast, trampolina. So is your doctor -- the one who says a warm shower or aspirin will also do the trick.

Penises contrast in color to other body parts
Penises are generally darker in color than the bodies they hang from. Why? It's part of the sexual maturation process, but it's also because during puberty nature introduces men to a special friend: their right hand. As Mr. Nice to Meet You Too, You Can Let Go Now will tell anybody who'll listen, your skin would darken too if you were manhandled that often.

Kiss that shoe size theory goodbye
There is no correlation between penis size and shoe size, hand size or nose size. And the bad news is even worse for gold-digging nymphos: There's no correlation between penis size and wallet size.

Masturbation is the best exercise?
Masturbation, or "punching the monkey," is healthy. No, really. "Use it or lose it" isn't just an excuse for a guy's hands to migrate south; it's the official tested and studied conclusion of sex experts. The less a guy uses his sexual plumbing, the more problems he'll have pumping the well later on. It's only at Thanksgiving that you should tell your man, "Don't play with your meat."

Drinking affects his nether region
Men will go limp if they drink too much. But how much is too much? About three and a half drinks for a 150-pound man. After that, the only thing standing upright in your house will be the vacuum cleaner.

Penises all have a "seam" 
All men have a line going down their penis and over their testicles. And no, it's not the chow line. It's more a "seam" on the underside of the penis. It forms when the fetus is in the uterus. In women, the seam becomes the inner lips of the vagina. In men, the seam encloses the urethra along the length of the penis.

Growth spurts down there only last for so long
Nothing can make a penis bigger -- except aging. Unfortunately, the size of the prize stops growing by the time men hit their early 20s.

Finding a Safe Shampoo, and What Ingredients to Avoid


We recently posted an article about the harmful ingredients in shampoos. As an active reader pointed out, we left out some important information — and just didn’t give you much help in picking a safe one. So we did a little research, and wrote this follow-up post to answer her questions.
Many of the ingredients listed in popular shampoos, such as Garnier Fructis, Suave, and Head & Shoulders are toxic. Read on for a list of specific chemicals, and make sure your shampoo isn’t exposing you to unnecessary health risks.

Sodium Laureth Sulfate is found in almost every popular brand of shampoo and body wash.  This chemical, while not itself cancer-causing, is associated with probable carcinogens in some products. Coincidentally, it is also the major component of the actual hair-cleansing part of shampoo (the detergent). It is known to cause skin and eye irritation, though it varies widely, which can exacerbate exposure to other chemicals.

Methylchloroisothiazolinone (say that five times fast!) is a preservative – it keeps other stuff fresh. There’s good evidence that it harms the skin, and may contribute to immune system problems. The United States, Canada, and Japan have restricted its use in cosmetics, though it’s still present in many “wash-off” chemicals. This ingredient is often found in lots of shampoos. (See a list here!)

Ammonium Chloride can be harmful if swallowed and can cause serious eye irritation. It may also be harmful if inhaled.

Propylene Glycol, which is used to moisturize, is a skin irritant, and has been linked to increased risk of developing numerous respiratory and immune disorders in children.

Strong Fragrance or Parfum is a label often used as a catch-all on ingredient labels for many different chemicals. As a result, they can vary widely. Many are a risk for allergic reaction; some may be more dangerous.

The Bottom Line here is that some chemicals are tested, and the ones that are definitely harmful tend to be restricted — at least in countries with strong health regulations, like Japan or the European Union. But lots more are not tested, or are not tested in conjunction with each other. And always remember that different people react differently to chemicals. Your best bet is generally to opt for products with fewer, and better understood, chemicals. Or just find a brand you trust!

Garnier Fructis: What’s the Story?
Our reader asked why we singled out Garnier as a particularly harmful brand of shampoo.  We used Garnier as an example of poor government testing, mostly because the brand sells and markets shampoos in which only 9 out of 22 ingredients have been assessed for safe use. To make matters worse, in one type of Garnier Fructis shampoo, six ingredients were labeled “health concerns” and three were labeled “violations, restrictions, and warnings.” Read more about Garnier’s products here.

Finding an Alternative Shampoo
Since most popular shampoo brands tend to contain at least one of these chemicals, we recommend buying a plant oil-based and petroleum-free organic shampoo. Although these shampoos tend to produce minimal lather (since they are not synthetic) they cause minimal harm to the environment and to you. However, it is also important to remember that these shampoos sometimes cost more.

The cheap secret behind the £5 million hands: almond oil


The woman behind a pair of hands that have been insured for £5 million has revealed the secret of her success – almond oil.

By Adam Lusher
7:30AM GMT 20 Nov 2011

Hand Model - Gemma Howorth

They are the hands that have been admired in adverts from America to Australia – and insured for £5 million. Gemma Howorth's flawless hands, with their smooth, blemish-free skin, long, elegant, straight fingers and deep nail beds, have doubled for those of supermodels like Kate Moss and Lily Cole in photoshoots.

Her hands are so crucial to Miss Howorth's fortune that she has had them insured at Lloyds of London for £5 million. They can earn her £200 for two hours, £800 for an average day's work and £2,500 a day for the most lucrative assignments. In perhaps the ultimate accolade, they have also starred in adverts for Fairy Liquid, still renowned for its former jingle: "Now hands that do dishes can feel soft as your face."

And the secret of such perfection? A £1.50 pot of almond oil from Boots.

Miss Howorth, of Chelsea, west London, said her hands have featured in more than 250 television adverts and on countless billboards. She estimates that her hands – if not her face – have been seen by millions worldwide.

"I even saw them in a television advert while on holiday in Cambodia," she said.

Looking after her hands is a full-time job involving precautions leave onlookers thinking she is "a lunatic." Miss Howorth, 27, said: "I sunbathe with gloves on. I forgot the gloves once, and even with high-factor sun cream, I noticed tiny wrinkles developing on my hands.

"After ten years in this job, it's an ingrained habit to think before I do things. Even opening the fridge door could break a nail. Rummaging in your handbag is potentially lethal. You have to open it carefully, so you don't get a paper cut."

She also admits that her hands do not do dishes (even though they do advertise washing up liquid.) That job is reserved for her husband Marcus Watts, 45, who runs Greenforce, an overseas volunteering company.

Miss Howorth said: "I can't remember the last time I washed anything without wearing gloves. It's really bad for your hands. I have a dishwasher, a cleaner and a husband."
She also has insurance – and reveals the £5 million valuation of her hands and her almond oil secret in Stella, The Sunday Telegraph'smagazine although she does not discuss the premium.

She said: "I could claim on the insurance if I get a paper cut, depending on how bad it is. If I cut my hand I might not work for two weeks, and that could be thousands of pounds lost.

"There are clauses for things like broken wrists, and if one of my fingers gets chopped off, I get a very big payout."

She added: "The insurance doesn't cover me for skiing, so I ski in steel gloves. They have a bit of steel in the back, to stop you breaking your wrists."

But her ultimate protection for her hands is rather more prosaic.

Despite manufacturers sending countless expensive beauty creams, she always prefers her trusty almond oil. She uses her "secret weapon" to moisturise her hands at least 30 times a day.


She said: "I have tested hundreds of products, and I always go back to my almond oil. It is the cheapest and best. Some other products don't seem to sink into the skin, but almond oil does.
"It really nourishes, and you don't need separate hand creams and cuticle oils: almond oil gives you the lot. And you can get it behind the pharmacy counter at Boots for about £1.50 for a 50ml pot."

Miss Howorth, who also runs Body London, the UK's only body-part model agency, tells all her 140 models to use almond oil. Many are now converts.

Sunna Jarman, of Chiswick, west London, provided the legs that went with Sharon Stone's face in posters for the film The Muse. The 37-year-old mother of two often finds herself on leg modelling assignments with 17 year-olds. She puts the enduring youthfulness of her legs down to daily gym sessions, good genes that have helped her avoid cellulite, and almond oil.

"It's just fantastic. I never buy normal moisturisers. Maybe it's just me, but I find they are just no good. I don't think you need to spend money on expensive things like that."

The Cancer Lobby

October 6, 2012

WHO knew that carcinogens had their own lobby in Washington?

Don’t believe me? Just consider formaldehyde, which is found in everything from nail polish to kitchen countertops, fabric softeners to carpets. Largely because of its use in building materials, we breathe formaldehyde fumes when we’re inside our homes.

Just one other fact you should know: According to government scientists, it causes cancer.
The chemical industry is working frantically to suppress that scientific consensus — because it fears “public confusion.” Big Chem apparently worries that you might be confused if you learned that formaldehyde caused cancer of the nose and throat, and perhaps leukemia as well.

The industry’s strategy is to lobby Congress to cut off money for the Report on Carcinogens, a 500-page consensus document published every two years by the National Institutes of Health, containing the best information about what agents cause cancer. If that sounds like shooting the messenger, well, it is.
“The way the free market is supposed to work is that you have information,” said Lynn Goldman, dean of the school of public health at George Washington University. “They’re trying to squelch that information.”

The larger issue is whether the federal government should be a watchdog for public health, or a lap dog for industry. When Mitt Romney denounces President Obama for excessive regulation, these are the kinds of issues at stake.

“Formaldehyde is known to be a human carcinogen,” declared the most recent Report on Carcinogens, published in 2011. Previous editions had listed it only as a suspected carcinogen, but the newer report, citing many studies of human and animal exposure to formaldehyde, made the case that it was time to stop equivocating.

The chemical industry was outraged, because it sells lots of formaldehyde that ends up in people’s homes, often without their knowledge.

“Nearly all homes had formaldehyde concentrations that exceeded guidelines for cancer and chronic irritation,” according to a 2009 survey by the California Energy Commission.
The Report on Carcinogens also offended the chemical industry by listing styrene for the first time as “reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen.” Styrene, which goes into everything from boats to shower stalls, is mostly a risk to those who work in factories where it is used, so it’s less of an issue for the general public.

The chemical industry is represented in Washington by the American Chemistry Council, which is the lobbying front for chemical giants like Exxon Mobil, Dow, BASF and DuPont. Those companies should understand that they risk their reputations when they toy with human lives.
The American Chemistry Council first got its pals in Congress to order a $1 million follow-up study on formaldehyde and styrene. Then it demanded, through a provision drafted by Representative Denny Rehberg, a Montana Republican, that no money be spent on another Report on Carcinogens until the follow-up was completed — meaning a four-year delay until the next report. Stay tuned for an industry effort to slip some such provision into the next budget legislation.

Let’s be clear. There is uncertainty about toxic chemicals, and it is perfectly legitimate to criticize the Report on Carcinogens. But this effort to defund the report is an insult to science and democracy alike.
Barbara K. Rimer, the chairwoman of the President’s Cancer Panel, told me that there might be ways to improve the Report on Carcinogens but that it would be wrong to cut off money for it. “Without this program, there would be a gap in the protection of the public,” she said.

Last month, 76 scientists wrote a joint letter to Congress noting that the World Health Organization also listed formaldehyde as a known carcinogen, and styrene as a possible carcinogen. They defended the Report on Carcinogens as “consistent with international scientific consensus.”
“The American Chemistry Council is working to delay and ultimately destroy” the Report on Carcinogens, the scientists wrote.

The chemical council declined to speak to me on the record. It has a long record of obfuscation, borrowing the same strategies that the tobacco industry used to delay regulation of cigarettes.
“It’s the same playbook,” noted Jennifer Sass, a senior scientist of the Natural Resources Defense Council.

The American Chemistry Council is also trying to undermine scientific reviews by the Environmental Protection Agency. You can say this for our political system: Even carcinogens have an advocate in Washington!

The basic strategy is an old one. As David Michaels notes in his book “Doubt Is Their Product,” the first evidence that asbestos causes cancer emerged in the 1930s. But three decades later, industry executives were still railing about “ill-informed and exaggerated” press reports, still covering up staggering cancer rates, and still denouncing regulation of asbestos as “premature.” Huge numbers of Americans today are dying as a result.

Do we really want to go through that again?

Younger-looking skin with rice bran oil


Posted by pattayatoday on Jun 21st, 2012

For a long time, there has been a tradition in Japan that women rub rice bran in or put rice bran oil on their face to keep their skin smooth. It was a tradition and people don’t know the real reason why rice bran or rice bran oil is effective in keeping skin smooth but it is thought that it relates to the functions of minor components of rice bran oil.

Rice bran oil, a medically significant lipid containing drug, is obtained from the husk of paddy and consists of embryo (germ) and endosperm of Oryza sativa family Graminae. You can obtain this oil as a byproduct in rice mill during polishing of rice after dehusking.

Rice bran oil contains three healthy antioxidants useful in protecting the body’s cells against the effects of free radicals–tocopherol, tocotrienol and oryzanol. Rich in Vitamins B and E, rice bran oil increases elasticity of your skin and keeps it hydrated and soft. Rice bran oil is unique in that it contains different kinds of vitamin B and vitamin E, making it a more complex and wholesome ingredient for your skin.

Owing to the presence of vitamin E, Gamma-oryzanol, it is used for many alternative herbal therapies along with skin care products to prevent aging. Thus you can obtain a younger looking, wrinkle free and glowing skin with use of this oil. Vitamin E helps skin feel refreshed all the time. Rice bran oil is used in sunscreen as vitamin E protects skin against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. The antioxidant property of this oil helps to overcome free radicals which cause damage.

In addition, this formula also contains refined vegetable Squalane, a phenomenal emollient derived from vitamin-rich olive oil that boosts the skin’s ability to naturally regenerate, nourish, hydrate, oxygenate and protect itself.

anatomy of rice
Rice bran oil is a powerful anti-aging complex known to protect the skin from aging and external aggression. It is also known to promote blood microcirculation, which is beneficial in reducing dark circles and puffiness.

Use of rice bran oil for skin:
        It is used to exfoliate the skin by massaging it thoroughly within the face. This helps improve blood circulation thereby making the skin radiant and glowing.
        The anti-melanin property of rice bran oil comes into play when used as a sun block. It is also known to whiten the skin slightly thus making it effective as a skin lightening and fairness product.
        Benefits of rice bran oil for skin also include its property of keeping the skin incredibly soft. Polishing the face is popular in the Far East; Japanese women use both powder and oil for keeping their skin silky smooth.
        It can also be used as a substitute for lanolin to help control inflammation and soothe irritable skin. Alligator skin can be healed completely courtesy the rice bran oil.
        The oil extracted from rice bran can also be used as a carrier oil for blending numerous other medicinal oils as it gets absorbed within seconds leaving the skin velvety smooth.
        Using it on oily skin is not taboo either. The oil is light and does not linger on the surface of the skin increasing the oiliness despite containing numerous essential fatty acids.

Active ingredients:
·         Gamma-oryzanol, ferulic acid: Beneficial for skin health. They have powerful antioxidant activity – –Phytosterols: anti-inflammatory, healing and restorative.
·         Carotenoids: beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A), lycopene: healthy glow and natural antioxidants.
·         Vitamin E: natural antioxidant.
·         Enzymes (co-enzyme Q10, polyphenol oxidase) protects the skin aging induced by free radicals.
·         Minerals: calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper

Sulfate-Free Shampoo: Why You Need To Check Your Shampoo Label, Now


The Huffington Post  
By Sarah Leon 10/11/2012


It's true. For over a year now, I have been using sulfate-free shampoo. And you know what? I don't miss the original formula. At all. Why did I make this choice? My decision came mostly out of media-pressure. In recent years, a "Sulfate-Free" label has become increasingly frequent on the label of every new shampoo and conditioner. The term has become associated with being "healthier" and "organic" even when that is not the case.Unfounded rumors that sulfates in shampoo cause cancer certainly contributed to my choice, but also the promise of softer, cleaner hair by means of more natural materials was also persuasive.

But really, when I thought about these products, I had one question: What are sulfates, anyway? And are they really as bad as they sound? To answer the first question: sulfates, essentially, are what make shampoos turn into a thick lather in the shower. This ingredient, which is standard for most shampoo (and household cleaning) products, has additionally come under attack for causing frizziness (especially in curly hair) and damagingcolored hair. After dying your hair or receiving a chemical treatment, salons will often recommend a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain the style.

Dr. Rebecca Baxt, a New York-based dermatologist, explained the recent bounty of sulfate-free options, "I think there are so many chemicals in our personal hygiene products, foods and environment that people have become more aware and rightly concerned about the effects of all of these chemicals. Anything with fewer chemicals has become more popular." Although she says that, "most people will not notice any difference" between sulfate-free and regular shampoo despite claims that "sulfate-free shampoos let curls stay curlier and let color treated hair stay colored longer," Dr. Baxt does, however, recommend switching to a sulfate-free formula if you have allergies, eczema or find your curent shampoo irritating to the scalp.
So what can you expect from switching to a sulfate-free shampoo? A higher price tag, to start, as most drug store brands don't yet produce products without sulfates. Perhaps the biggest adjustment to using sulfate-free shampoo is a superficial one. Without this lather-producing chemical, these shampoos have less of the over-the-top bubble that is associated with cleansing hair. But, this doesn't mean sulfate-free shampoo isn't as effective as it's mainstream counterpart. Dr. Baxt explained, "Without sulfates there is usually no "lather" or bubbles when you wash so it takes getting used to... it might not feel like it is cleansing as much but it should still clean the scalp adequately." While the benefits seem unclear, my philosophy with sulfate-free shampoo has been, "Hey, it can't hurt. Right?"
