Yes! The Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Shampoo is sulfate free!

answer 2

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is derived from coconut and palm oils. It is used as a foaming agent. Sulfoacetate is not the same as Sulfate. They sound similar but are different molecules. Just as Oxygen is O2 and ozone is O3. One difference in a molecular formula can result in a completely different substance.

Its sulfate free. The ingredient you listed isn't a sufate, but a relative. Its what makes the shampoo lather.

Here is an answer I found on Alba Botanical's website: (a company I usually trust!)
http://www.albabotanica.com/?id=151&show=S

Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate vs. Sodium lauryl sulfate
Although an ingredient's name may sound similar to another, it does not mean that the molecules are similar with respect to shape, size, performance or even function. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate sounds similar to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, however, the two molecules are quite different from each other. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a large molecule ingredient. Large molecule ingredients are considered to be mild, gentle, and non-irritating, as they cannot penetrate the skin. In contrast, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a small molecule ingredient, and is capable of penetrating the skin, which can increase the occurrence of skin irritation.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is derived from coconut and palm oils and is used as a foaming agent. It is said to be safe because the molecules are larger and do not penetrate the skin. Though the names are similar, it is very different then Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

Yes, it is sulfate-free. Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate is derived from coconut and palm oils. It is a safe, skin-friendly, mild, and effective surfactant (foaming agent) for both skin and hair.

Sodium lauryl sulfate, on the other hand, is a small molecule ingredient, and is capable of penetrating the skin, which can increase the occurrence of skin irritation.

answer 8

No, to the question, "Does this shampoo contain sulfates?" Here's why: Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a relatively newer chemical to the market. It is increasingly becoming a replacement for sodium laureth and sodium lauryl sulfate. It is a surfactant used to clean, de-grease, and create lather. (Credit to Steph and link to
http://chemicaloftheday.squarespace.com/todays-chemical/2010/9/14/sodium-lauryl-sulfoacetate.html )

ALSO, please be advised Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate sounds similar to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, however, the two molecules are quite different from each other. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a large molecule ingredient. Large molecule ingredients are considered to be mild, gentle, and non-irritating, as they cannot penetrate the skin. In contrast, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a small molecule ingredient, and is capable of penetrating the skin, which can increase the occurrence of skin irritation. Finally, thanks to http://www.albabotanica.com/?id=151&show=S :
Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is also hydrophilic. This means it is attracted to water, which enables it to dissolve more readily in water, thus providing superior rinseablility.

Question

this vs the caviar volumizing shampoo?

I've tried the volumizing one but was wondering what the difference between the two is? Do they smell the same? I have straight fine hair but the ends are more dry and scalp is more oily. The volumizing shampoo seems to be drying to my ends and I was wondering if this would be better without weighing down my hair.

I have flat and sometimes oily roots and dry ends, and found that in warmer weather the moisture shampoo did weigh my hair down a bit. No problems in cold weather. I eventually did what monilas suggested: I used the volume shampoo and the moisture conditioner. It kept the volume at the roots while successfully moisturizing the ends. I did this with both long and short hair and can recommend it. They smell essentially the same; the volumizing shampoo may be a little spicier and is not as thick or creamy as the moisturizing.

I will say this - over the years I've learned anything volumizing removes ALL oils from your scalp. This formula is designed for dry hair - I'd say use the volumizing shampoo for your scalp only - not your hair (the intent of shampoos) and use the Caviar Moisturizing Condish for your ends. Also you can check out Alterna 10 hair mask or the Caviar hair mask for your ends. HTH

I have not tried the volumizing shampoo/conditioner. However, I too have fine thin hair, that tends to be oily at the scalp and dry at the ends. This shampoo and conditioner does not weigh down my hair. Does not make my hair oily. No buildup. My hair looks and feels very healthy (not dry at all). Just an amazing line.

I am not sure about keratin treated hair. However, my hair is highlighted and this system didn't work well for me at all. It made my hair very dry and stripped my color. So, I would check with your stylist to make sure.

Question

Good for color-treated hair?

I get highlights, lowlights, you name it- and I like to keep my color as long as I possibly can- will this help keep the color from fading? I was in love with Alterna's HEMP line, but they discontinued it (much to my utter dismay...), so I'm hunting for another shampoo. I've tried the Alterna Bamboo UV+ line, but I think it makes my hair a little dry. So, would the Caviar Anti-Aging be good for keeping bright color (red, green, blue, etc.)? If anyone has an opinion, I'd be really grateful! Thanks for your time!

I swear if you look online you can still find the hemp line but maybe I'm mistaken. As for color care my hair is color treated (from dk brown to blonde 5 yrs ago & now medium brown) and I use this, absolutely love it and have not had any fading issues :)
