No. No, Teatree Tea Tree Special Shampoo is not sulfate-free.
It lists Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Why
Sulfates are foaming cleansers such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Mineral salts like Magnesium Sulfate are not cleansers and do not count.
No, Teatree Tea Tree Special Shampoo is not sulfate-free. It lists Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate is a sulfonate, a close cousin of sulfates that is chemically not a sulfate. Some people who avoid sulfates avoid it too.
This is not a safety warning. It is a label fact, useful if you avoid this group on purpose.
