Purple Pigment for Blonde/Gray Shampoo & Conditioner Bars by Tangie

While dye-free is our usual standard, we chose to prioritize performance with Fixtone. This bar delivers the same results you’d expect from bottled purple pigment products—minus the plastic waste. It’s our way of giving you powerful toning results and sustainable packaging in one brilliant bar.

1. SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES is a common ingredient in many shampoos, and sadly it is exempt from labeling requirements and regarded as “trade secrets”. There is no way to determine what the individual ingredients are and may include phthalates. Fragrance can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in some people and has been linked with aggravation of asthma, headaches, and possible long term central nervous system disorders.
2. PARABENS are preservatives used in shampoos to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus. However, they have been linked to hormone disruption, fertility issues, and cancer. There is a suspected link between parabens and breast cancer. Be sure to avoid deodorant containing parabens since it’s applied close to the breast area, every day for many, many years.
3. SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (SLS)/SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE (SLES) There are nearly 16,000 studies in the PubMed science library about the toxicity of this chemical that can be found on the SLS page on Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) website. It is present in nearly all shampoos, scalp treatments, hair color and bleaching agents, toothpastes, body washes and cleansers, make-up foundations, liquid hand soaps, and laundry detergents. Although SLS originates from coconuts, the chemical is anything but natural.
4. 1,4-DIOXANE Any discussion of SLS/SLES must include a discussion of 1,4 dioxane because the manufacturing process of SLS/SLES results in its being contaminated with 1,4 dioxane—a known carcinogen. (NOT to be confused with Dioxin)
5. PROPYLENE GLYCOL is Primarily used as a solvent and an aid to absorption through the skin. The main concerns are that this material may be a primary skin irritant and there are possible links to liver abnormalities and kidney damage.
6. TRICLOSAN Primarily added to cosmetics as an anti-bacterial agent. It belongs to a class of chemicals known as chlorophenols and is suspected of causing cancer in humans.
7. PHOSPHATES Phosphorous is like a fertilizer in our water system. It increases algae and aquatic weed growth, the oxygen needed for healthy fish and aquatic life is depleted.
