Why is this allowed?
I purchased this 'Happy Hair days' shampoo the other day from Boots as it states it is sulphate and paraben free... I think it's new as I have never seen the brand before. Price approx £4.07.
NO parabens, NO sulphates.
Yet in the ingredients what do we have? Ammonium lauryl sulphate! Click photo below to enlarge.
In the small print on the back of the bottle it says, “Our shampoos and conditioners are free from parabens, sodium laureth sulphate and mineral oils." I say RUBBISH! Sodium laureth sulphate isn't the only sulphate.
A sulphate IS a sulphate. The most common sulphates are Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, Ammonium Xylene Sulfonate and TEA Lauryl Sulfate.
I don’t understand how a they can clearly state that it’s SULPHATE free and then lie about it. I will be writing to them to share my thoughts.

Happy hair days hair care, I detest you and what you are doing shouldn't be allowed as it's very misleading!!

it's always best to look at the ingredients. brands will do pretty much anything to get you to buy their product; so as consumers, we need to be smarter and know what to look for to make sure we're not being lied to. we can't just take ads and labels at face value anymore.

Which means it shouldn't contain any!
Really annoying....I guess you always have to read the ingredient list and not just the labels nowadays.

It sucks how wording can change things-- take for instance, animal testing: the label may state "this final product is not tested on animals" but in actuality, the final product isn't tested on animals, yes; however the ingredients were!!
I wish products would be completely upfront, but they just aren't :l
I am glad you exposed this problem though because now others can know too :)

I'm interested to find out what they have to say! xx
The sulfate that they left out, sodium lauyrl sulfate has gotten a lot of attention lately. It's been labeled everything from a cancer causing agent to a surfactant that can irritate and cause hair damage. While it is in fact an irritating agent, it isn't dangerous. However, "chemicals" with scary sounding names are being phased out and replaced with "green" ingredients that can only do a fraction of what a synthetic ingredient can do.
The sulfate that you are pointing out is actually derived from coconuts and despite the name, is very gentle. While the product packaging is misleading and they should have listed on the front what kinds of sulfates they left out, this isn't a product to toss or worry about.
the bit that angers me most is those companies which show off about having natural ingredients when really they make up less than one per cent of the actual shampoo! id stick with liz earle if i were you, am loving her shampoo atm.

So the manufacturers of this shampoo are not deceiving the consumer.
The sulphates that you want to avoid are Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) and Ammonium Laureth Sulfate (ALES)
