## What does "organic" mean?

When we talk about organic cosmetics, we refer to products that have been certified as such by a third-party organization that ensures the cosmetic in question complies with organic standards. To adhere to these standards, it is necessary to first avoid the use of certain ingredients that have a high environmental impact and include ingredients derived from organic farming, a cultivation system that preserves biodiversity, uses sustainable farming methods, and minimizes environmental impact.

![biologico-senza-pesticidi](https://blog.lasaponaria.it/hs-fs/hubfs/Bio-fragole.jpg?width=1200&height=800&name=Bio-fragole.jpg)

### The official certifications: a beacon for mindful choises

How to Recognize a True Organic Product? Thanks to the Certifications!

Here’s a handy list to help you identify them:

**COSMOS**: A European standard that sets strict criteria for organic cosmetics, including the use of sustainable ingredients and eco-friendly packaging.

**NATRUE**: A certification created by the International Natural and Organic Association, highly respected for the strict criteria it uses.

**ECOCERT**: One of the first organic certifications for cosmetics, ensuring at least 95% of the ingredients are of natural origin.

**CCPB**: The Consortium for the Control of Organic Products, the first Italian organization recognized by NaTrue, guarantees strict standards.

 

There are, of course, other certifications, each with its specific criteria, but all share a commitment to sustainability, safety, and transparency.

Transparency is, in fact, a fundamental aspect of organic products. Ingredients are clearly listed on the label, and companies dedicated to the organic sector typically provide detailed information about their production processes and the origin of raw materials. This empowers consumers to make informed and conscious choices.

## What is an organic shampoo?

But let's get to the point: what is meant by organic shampoo?

An organic shampoo is a product made with natural ingredients sourced from organic farming. This means the ingredients are grown without the use of chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

The primary goal of an organic shampoo is to gently clean and nourish the hair and scalp while respecting the environment. Organic shampoos are often free from harsh chemicals and are formulated to minimize the risk of irritation and allergies.

Unlike traditional shampoos, organic shampoos avoid the use of aggressive chemicals that accumulate in the environment and may be sensitizing, such as silicones or parabens. Instead, they favor gentle surfactants and natural nutrients, such as surfactants derived from [sunflower](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/girasole) or [fruit sugars](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/oligosaccaridi-della-frutta).

![shampoo-bioextravergine-luigi-2](https://blog.lasaponaria.it/hs-fs/hubfs/shampoo-bioextravergine-luigi-2.jpg?width=1200&height=800&name=shampoo-bioextravergine-luigi-2.jpg)

## What should (and should not) contain an organic shampoo

When choosing an organic shampoo, it’s important to pay attention not only to a high percentage of natural ingredients but also to the origin of those ingredients.

Below, we’ve outlined ingredients to consider and those to avoid.

Good Ingredients:

-Gentle Surfactants: cleanse without stressing the scalp.

-Plant-based oils and butters: such as [argan](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/argan)and [coconut](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/olio-di-cocco), ideal for nourishment.

-Natural extracts: like [flaxseed](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/flax-seed), [aloe vera](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/aloe-vera), and [moringa](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/moringa).

-Natural vitamins: such as provitamin B5 for strong and shiny hair.

Ingredients to avoid:

-Parabens: chemical preservatives that may disrupt the endocrine system and cause allergic reactions.

-Silicones: like dimethicone, which can build up on hair and block the natural breathing of the scalp.

-Artificial fragrances: may contain phthalates and other potentially harmful chemicals.

-Synthetic Dyes: often petroleum-based and potentially irritating.

[For more insights into the role of silicones in cosmetics, check out the article on our blog!](https://blog.lasaponaria.it/en/insights/silicones-in-cosmetics-everything-you-need-to-know)

However, one of the most crucial aspects is the presence of certified organic ingredients, sourced from sustainable farming practices and subjected to rigorous controls to ensure their purity and quality.

## Benefits of organic shampoos for your hair and scalp

Do we ever stop to think about how much of a difference an organic shampoo can truly make for the health of our hair? Often, we’re so accustomed (due to convenience, habit, or lack of time) to using "conventional" products that we don’t take a moment to consider the long-term effects they might have on our scalp and hair.

######  An organic shampoo, on the other hand, offers a gentle and natural solution, turning your hair care routine into an act of well-being for both yourself and the environment.

---

---

Let’s take a closer look at the benefits your scalp and hair can gain from using an organic shampoo:

1. Gentleness: thanks to the absence of harsh chemicals, organic shampoos are generally much gentler and less irritating for the scalp. A top choice for gentleness is the [Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Shampoo](https://www.la-saponaria.com/shampoos/extra-virgin-olive-oil-shampoo-ideal-for-frequent-washing), ideal for those with sensitive skin and frequent washing routines. 

2. Natural Hydration: natural ingredients, such as essential oils and plant extracts, help maintain hydration for both hair and scalp. Dry or treated hair will love the [Strengthening Organic Shampoo](https://www.la-saponaria.com/shampoos/sunflower-and-sweet-orange-dry-hair-shampoo)with sunflower and sweet orange, which nourishes and adds extra shine.

3. Reduced Allergy Risk: the use of natural and organic ingredients lowers the risk of allergic reactions and skin irritations. The perfect cleansing step for hair that gets dirty easily, produces excess sebum, or tends to have dandruff is the [Balancing Organic Shampoo](https://www.la-saponaria.com/shampoos/sage-and-lemon-oily-hair-shampoo) with sage and lemon. 

4. Environmental Sustainability: organic ingredients are sustainably grown, reducing environmental impact and promoting biodiversity.

5. Improved Hair Health: natural and organic ingredients can help strengthen hair, enhancing its appearance and resilience.

## How to choose a natural shampoo to suit your needs

At this point, all that’s left is to choose the right shampoo for your hair... but with so many options available, does it feel like a daunting task?

Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think! All you need is to understand your hair’s needs and know what to look for on the label.

Whether you have dry, oily, colored hair, or a sensitive scalp, there’s an organic shampoo designed just for you!

Let’s take a moment to learn how to make a conscious and personalized choice for your hair with these simple steps:

Step 1. Identify your hair type: First and foremost, it’s essential to know your hair type (dry, oily, normal, curly, straight, etc.) so you can select a shampoo tailored to your needs. Take our test to find out now!

[![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4222170/87994dd7-bf71-428c-b9cd-322f209c1a26.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4222170/87994dd7-bf71-428c-b9cd-322f209c1a26)

2. Read the label: always check the INCI (ingredient list) to ensure the shampoo is truly organic and free from harmful chemicals.

3. Look for certifications we discussed earlier to verify the product’s authenticity.

4. Consider your specific needs: if you have particular issues, such as dandruff or a sensitive scalp, look for a shampoo formulated to address these conditions.

5. Try different products: don’t hesitate to try several organic shampoos until you find the one that works best for you.

## Natural hair care routines for every hair type
