Hokay, But Why Is Everyone Sleeping on Organic Shampoos?
The biggest struggle when it comes to shopping for an organic shampoo? Finding one that's *truly* natural, not just marketed as such. Thanks to a lack of FDA regulation, beauty brands can label their products with terms like "organic" or "natural," even if the ingredients list is actually filled with questionable ingredients like parabens or formaldehyde releasers. Shitty, right? And because I know you don't have the time to do hours of research to find an organic shampoo that's legit, I've done the hard work for you. Below, nine organic shampoos that substitute controversial ingredients for natural ones while still getting your hair super clean—all without the junk.

The ultra-gentle formula cleans without stripping, and even has some light conditioning benefits too.

I have super oily hair, and this is truly the only organic shampoo I've found that keeps all my greasiness in check.
