Hi Lily,
Yes all the raw materials we use are biodegradable. Also worth mentioning is that the ingredients we use are far more readily biodegradable than what is required to comply with EU legislation.

Please can you tell me if the actual ingredients in Suma shampoos etc are biodegradable?

Funny you should ask Rachel- Yes there is a project team looking into this right now and we hope to be able to launch a range of conditioners in the near future.

Hi Rachel

We are currently considering the addition of conditioners to our bodycare range.
We take a lot of care before launching new Suma products and this process is ongoing.
Watch this space …..

Three years ago I underwent a patch test to find out what was causing my eczema to practically devour my hands and arms, I was told my worst allergy was fragrances. Do you know how common fragrances are in products? Shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, cleaners, sun lotion, toothpaste even! I’ve still to find a sun lotion that’s free of fragrance. But I did have success with shampoo, thanks to the recipe designers at Suma. Suma Clear & Simple is the only shampoo I have found that is: * Affordable * works on greasy hair * is fragrance free Thank you Suma designers! Please, please, always make this recipe available, without you I would have to shave my head or have greasy hair for the rest of my life.

Hi Becky

Thanks for your question about using Sodium “Laureth” Sulphate (SLES).
To clarify: Our article states that our shampoos do not contain Sodium “Lauryl” Sulphate (SLS). This is a more powerful degreasant than Sodium Laureth Sulphate, which can cause oils from the skin to be stripped out.
If you would like more info on SLS and SLES please follow the link in the article THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SLS AND SLES http://www.suma.coop/2010/05/27/sls-and-sles-spot-the-difference/

Hi.
You say that you don’t use the harmful and toxic ingredient of “Sodium Laureth Sulfate” in your shampoo’s. But looking a bit further at your soaps, and clicking on the first soap ‘white lavender’, and clicking on it’s ingredients, it clearly say’s “Sodium Laureth Sulfate”.

What’s going on?

Regards,
Becky
