Your scapular health matters - gently does it!

Your scapular health matters - gently does it!

The ingredients that you typically find even in some of the top branded shampoos and skin products today contain chemical compounds which can trigger allergic reactions and even asthma attacks.

You may not even know that you’re allergic to shampoos with scents and fragrances until you start to suffer from unexplained itching.

According to a report released last year, nearly 20% of the general population is sensitive to at least one allergy. Furthermore, studies have revealed that fragrance in shampoos alone is one of the most common causes of scalp irritation. So if you're suddenly itching, try a fragrance-free solution.

It is reported that fragrances and additives can breakdown the fatty skin barrier, leading to a higher risk of developing reactions to other potential allergens you might not have been sensitive to before. Its true, fragrance's smell divine - but they might not be right for you in your haircare if you're sensitive.

Reasons to stop using a scented or fragranced shampoo today

Your scalp’s prolonged exposure to specific fragrances found in shampoos can have consequences. Apart from the usual, everyday symptoms like redness, inflammation and skin irritation, cosmetics with fragrances contain synthetic chemicals which can trigger allergies such as asthma.
