What is sulfate free shampoo?
Sulfate free shampoo is a product whose formulation does not contain sodium laureth sulfate or sodium lauryl ether sulfate – better known as SLS and SLES. These chemical components made their first appearance in the early 1900s when they were used in hair care lines to clean the hair and make it look nourished and healthy.
The downside of them is that they may be irritant in some cases, so they could cause irritation, dryness, and dermatitis to the scalp. That’s how sulfate free shampoos came to life and private label manufacturers started developing them.
So, private label sulfate free shampoo is free from these chemicals, which are substituted with plant-based or less irritating ingredients. Thus, they have a milder effect on the skin and deliver the same excellent results to the hair in terms of cleansing and soothing.
In fact, you can recognize this type of shampoo because it doesn’t produce as much foam as the regular one. Foam comes from the presence of SLS or SLES which react to water.
Private label sulfate free shampoo is definitely an ideal solution for those with sensitive skin, but let me tell you something: sulfate is not as bad as it seems! Yes, it’s a chemical component, but chemical doesn’t always equal dangerous – and natural doesn’t always equal safe.
In fact, you can formulate private label shampoo with a small percentage of sulfates and still guarantee your clientele that their hair will be the most beautiful and their scalp won’t be irritated!

Ingredients you can formulate your sulfate free shampoo with
Now, let’s see which ingredients you can use in private label sulfate free shampoo instead of SLS and SLES. First of all, you can find substitutes in nature: coconut oil and palm oil can be used in hair care products to replace sulfates. The thing is, they still need to be processed in order to be used. Also, some studies show that palm oil might not be as eco-friendly as one may think.
So, if you’re looking for more sustainable ingredients to use, you can still pick something from the chemical component basket! As we have mentioned before, synthetic and chemical aren’t always synonymous with damage.
One of these is sodium coco sulfate, a coconut oil-derived ingredient that is certified not to hurt the hair and the scalp. SCS is a mix of fatty acids and sodium salts, and it contains only 50% of sodium laureth sulfate – which makes it waaaaay gentler!
Other safe alternatives you can put in your private label sulfate free shampoo are:
- sodium cocoyl glycinate
- sodium or disodium cocoyl glutamate
- sodium lauryl sulfoacetate
- lauryl or decyl glucoside
