Gentle for You — and Considerate of Water Systems

Many shoppers prefer to avoid hormone modulators, sulfates, and parabens not only for personal reasons, but also out of consideration for downstream water and wastewater systems. Choosing formulas without these categories aligns your routine with a lower-impact, gentle-care philosophy.
