While springcleaning, I came across these magazine clippings which I kept from way back. Actually 2004 feels like yesterday to me, but I guess my bigger frame and failing memory tell me otherwise. No, I have not tried this shampoo but I certainly look forward to trying it myself!
Excerpt from November 2004 Health Magazine :
With the presidential election at hand, a thought comes to mind: Freedom of choice is a wonderful thing. Sometimes, though, the more options you have, the more confused you become. Take beauty products, for example. There are a staggering number of them on the market, each offering something amazing -- younger-looking skin, fuller lips, frizz-free hair. But knowing which claims are truthful isn't always easy. So for the sixth straight year, we went in search of products that not only make you look good but leave your skin, hair, and other body parts in healthier shape. First, we asked cosmetics companies to nominate their all-stars; then we enlisted three dermatologists to give them a trial run. The votes are in. The winners are...
Voted BEST SHAMPOO 2004
EO Chamomile & Honey Shampoo ($8.99 *THEN..dry laughter*)
Apparently this is how it looks like now:
Aloe vera, hops, white ginger, wild-cherry bark, nettle, and horsetail: You'd be hard-pressed to find a shampoo with as many natural ingredients. But the one that piqued the interest of judge Grace Pak, M.D., was honey, one of nature's best-kept secrets. "It's a great healer and a humectant that helps hair retain moisture," Pak notes. Just as important, she says, is what's not on the list. "Most shampoos use detergents like sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate to help clear oil from the scalp. Yet these ingredients tend to strip hair of necessary moisture." In their place are amphoteric surfactants (what manufacturers often call a "coconut-oil cleansing complex"), detergents similar to the ones found in baby shampoos. These mild ingredients clean effectively while treating hair with kid gloves. Chamomile oil calms skin irritations, while witch hazel, a natural antiseptic, removes excess oil and product buildup, leaving your scalp clean and refreshed. And sensitive types, take note: There are no synthetic dyes, fragrances, or fillers.
