Common questions

Is Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo healthy?

Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo?

Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo lists 23 ingredients, starting with Pyrithione Zinc, Water, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo?

Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.
