27 Best Organic + Non-Toxic Shampoos That We’re Obsessed With
WRITTEN BY: Ā DIANE ELIZABETH K. | FIRST PUBLISHED: 03/06/2018 | LAST UPDATED: 06/30/2021
Shopping for organic shampoos can be a bit of a minefield. Have you heard of the term āgreenwashingā? It is a term used to describe the deceptive practice of hiding unpleasant information through āgreenā marketing and advertising claims. When it comes to organic shampoos, greenwashing is rampant. Ā A company may claim to use all-natural and organic ingredients, while simultaneously glossing over the fact that their formulas also contain toxic and irritating chemicals. This can be especially challenging for people with sensitive skin and scalp conditions who need absolutely pure formulas (like seborrheic dermatitis, folliculitis, psoriasis, and hair loss).
What to Look for in an Organic Shampoo
We set the bar high for this top list of the best organic shampoo products. Our research began with over 200 so-called ānaturalā products and it was eventually whittled down to just 27 products that made the cut. Not only does every organic shampoo on this list contain organic and all-natural ingredients, but you wonāt find any sulfates, parabens, irritating foaming agents, phthalates, formaldehyde, oxybenzone, ethoxylated ingredients, polysorbates, phenoxyethanol, petrochemicals, triclosan, TEA/DEA, synthetic fragrances and colors, or any other ingredients from our prohibited list.
Tips for Switching to an Organic Shampoo
With that said, finding the right organic shampoo for your hair type can still be a process of trial and error. If youāre making the switch from synthetic products over to organic/natural products, it is important to know that it may take some time for your hair to properly detox and adjust. Since many organic shampoo formulas do not contain harsh detergents or foaming agents, it can take several washes to fully remove any leftover residues and buildup. You can speed this process up with a simple apple cider vinegar detox. Just mix Ā¼ cup organic apple cider vinegar into 2 cups of water and thoroughly rinse your hair with this solution once per week. This will help to eliminate residual grime without stripping its natural oils.

It’s really scary to have toxic shampoos at home. Thanks for sharing these non-toxic shampoos!
Thanks! I’m so happy that you found it helpful š
Great list, I have to try some of these. I currently like using Maple Holisitcs because I find it does a good job.
Thanks, Jessica! We took a look at Maple Holistics and they unfortunately use some ingredients that we don’t allow on our lists. Doesn’t necessarily mean that they are “bad,” but we like to feature the purest best of the best!
Would love a list of the products that didn’t make the cut.
Thanks Amanda! That would be a SUPER long list š
Which shampoo is the best for very thin gray hair? The reason for shampoo for gray hair is that my gray is turning yellow. My hair is all natural.
Hi Crystal! We didn’t test these products on gray hair types, so I can’t offer a specific recommendation. However, if you are not currently using an all natural, sulfate free, and gentle shampoo, then perhaps the chemicals in your conventional shampoo are causing the yellow tinge? Try a super pure Shampoo like 100% Pure or Josh Rosebrook’s formulation and see how your hair reacts!
Hair spray and certain shampoos heavy in alkaline along with unfiltered water from home can cause yellowing of gray hair. You can check at any professional hair supply store or ask a hair stylist for tips.
What if you have severe seasonal allergies to several plants and nuts what do you use then? A lot of the substances in the shampoos you list cause me to break out in hives.
Thanks for the note, Mary. So sorry to hear about your allergies. You should look for a very very pure shampoo (maybe make your own simple shampoo at home?). Check out Bubble & Bee, they have really simple shampoo products with very little nuts and herbs.
I don’t really have a comment, more a question. Where can I find a cleansing and clarifying shampoo without artificial ( chemicals) and preservatives, with a natural lemon scent? All I come across is Avalon. Avalon used to be somewhat okay, but not anymore.
Hi Debby! Have you checked out Bubble & Bee’s Organic Lemon Shampoo? It’s 100% clean with no artificial anything!
Hi! I absolutely love this list. It’s incredibly helpful as I have just started looking into my “cleaner” life. I’m dealing with skin and scalp irritations along with hormone imbalance as mentioned a few times. I plan on trying a few options (thanks to this site!) but would you have a good “ease in” shampoo and conditioner suggestion for the detoxify process? Thanks!!
100% Pure’s shampoos for sure!
Which shampoo would fix the problem of not only dry flaky scalp but also crazy frizzy hair? I have straight hair and have tried a bunch of products to help get rid of the frizz. I need moisture to come back ti my hair! Just came out of a hair salon and obviously my hair is soft and silky but I don’t want to use harsh chemicals on my hair. Please help š.
Either 100% Pure’s Moisture Drench Shampoo/Conditioner or Josh Rosebrook’s Shampoo/Conditioner. Both are great!
Hello, Thank you so much for your article. I am looking for an all natural shampoo and conditioner that is good for dry and itchy scalp. I am also on a budget at this time. What would you recommend. Thank you.
Check out 100% Pure’s line of shampoos and conditioners (the burdock & neem shampoo might be good for an inflamed scalp). They usually offer them in two sizes so you can try them on a budget. I think they also have samples!
I want your wise opinion. I have used many non toxic brand of shampoo and conditioner- shea& moisture, avalon, acute, puracy. But all of them are harsh on hair, can not give me the silky soft hair that other not clean shampoo & conditioner give me. Please suggest me some brand for silky & soft hair.
Anything from 100% Pure!
Hi! Which shampoo would you recommend for hair growth? Laritelle seems to be a good option but Iām looking for something less expensive.
This has been very eye opening for me. I will share this page with all my friends and family. Ordering my new hair products today! Thank you for sharing this information.
What about the brand Bondi?
Great topic, which especially important for pregnancy, when some ingredients should be excluded from the products used while pregnant, have you considered Sukin? Australian brand?
The list is awesome but i stay in Canada and do not find these easily. Can you help listing down ones that are available in Canada?
Hi! Thanks for doing the research to put out this great info for us all! Itās very helpful and much appreciated! I was wondering if yāall have ever checked out Calia ( Based out of Canada) Iāve been using it for about 3 years now and it immediately started to transform mine and my daughters hair. It was a total game changer. We both have wavy waist length hair so a good shampoo really makes a difference lol. Iāve tried several on the list before and while still really good nothing has compared to Calia( although I still havenāt tried 100% pure brand yet and would love to) Otherwise, Living libations is the only other brand I occasionally use on my hair but only the shampoo and their deep conditioner ( not their regular conditioner as it is a little hard to work through long hair for my daughter). Actually Living libations is the only other brand I use at all. Mainly for skin and dental etc. and was happy to see it on the list. Thank again for all that you do!
