What are some common synthetic ingredients used in hair care brands?!


Question: What are some common synthetic ingredients used in hair care brands?
I'm planning to purchase a natural shampoo but these are teh ingredients:

Water, Panax Ginseng Root Extract (and) Arginine (and) Acetyl Tyrosine (and) Articum Majus Root Extract (and) Hydrolyzed Soy Protein (and) Polyquaternium -11 (and) PEG 12 Dimethicone (and) Calcium Pantothenate (and) Zinc Gluconate (and) Niacinamide (and) Ornithine HCL (and) Citrulline (and) Glucosamine HCI (and) Biotin, Fenugreek, Panthenol, Fragrance, Germall Plus (Paraben-Free Preservative), Green 5, Yellow 5

Also, are green 5 and yellow 5, parfum synthetic?

What's better to go for? I'm very confused!

Answers:

All shampoos will contain some kind of detergent (to lower surface tension of water, making it 'wetter' as well as to remove grease and oil from your hair) and some kind of perfume to make it smell as if your hair is cleaner. "Parfum" is the condescending latin version of perfume, used to try and hide the fact that a product is artificially fragranced. No, they don't list what's in this 'parfum' either but you can bet it aint flower juice!

'Natural' is a nonsense term, sure you have a few plant extracts there but as the detergent isn't natural then the term means nothing.
