15 Best Sulphate and Paraben free shampoo

As we know that most of the cosmetic products contain chemicals, this is not just sulphate there are lot more which they never listed on these products. 

You may find lots of articles on internet about sulphate free shampoos, but you have to be aware that the sulphate free shampoos doesn't mean that they are herbal or free from all chemicals.

So today I shortlisted some of the shampoos by doing some research about that particular brand ingredients, how they tested their products, are they hide their chemical ingredients and finally the customer reviews which shows that the product is trust worthy or not. All the shampoos are easily available in India whether online or offline.

I tried to come up with the shampoos which doesn't contain any toxic ingredients like sulphates (SLES, SLS), BHT, EDTA, parabeans and are Vegan. I list up affordable products first.
