From your posts, you seem to be the ingredient guru  C12-14 Olefin Sulfonate... What is it? BTW, can I get that huge list of ingredients you've got? Thanx! |

Hi amc! Ingredient guru? Nah, just someone with too much time on her hands and access to a lot of somewhat useless information :-) Sodium C 12-14 (or 14-16) olefin sulfonate is a fairly strong (harsh) surfactant cleanser. It is also known as C14-16-alkene or C14-16-alkane hydroxy. If your hair is dry or you have a sensative scalp, avoid shampoos with this ingredient. Even if your hair is perfectly normal, repeated use of any strong surfactant (sodium lauryl sulfate, TEA-lauryl sulfate, etc.) can dry it out. You are more than welcome to the list; send me your email address via the board mail option and I'll get it to you :-) ------------- Look for beauty, and you will find no intelligence.
