I don't use/review anything on this blog with parabens, sulfates, cones, mineral oil or petrolatum, so you've <i>definitely</i> come to the right place, welcome! Yes! Desert Essence does make a whole shampoo line of products without those ingredients. The Desert Essence Red Grape shampoo contains a coconut derived sulfate called <b>Sodium Coco Sulfate</b> that DE claims to be naturally derived, but in my world a sulfate is a sulfate, and I've recently decided to include all-derived sulfates in that category. (Just my opinion). For more info on that particular ingredient, <a href="http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredient.php?ingred06=706033" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">click here</a>. I would suggest checking out check out <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Trader-Joes-Peppermint-Eucalyptus-Botanicals/dp/B002LMBLTY" title="Trader Joe Tea TRee Shampoo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Trader Joe's Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo</a>. I did a review of the conditioner <a href="http://savvybrown.com/hair/review-trader-joe-tea-tree-tingle-condish/" title="Trader Joe's Tea Tree Conditioner" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. They work really well on all hair types and they are really cost effective too! HTH! @Susie Hi there!

Three that I know of are laurel or laureth sulfate, dimethicone and parabens. These make my life miserable! I am Caucasian with medium thick, curly yet fine. Appears very frizzy if I dont use some type of smoother or styling creme but haven't found a product free of the irritants mentioned. Can i use the product mentioned...Desert Essence product and do they make a shampoo and other styling products? Thanks so very much for your help in advance!

It's so cheap, you could try it as a co-wash first, and then maybe as a DC or mix it with something to DC. I haven't seen it that cheap either. I think there's a link on her blog as to where she found it. Let us know how it turns out! @Erin thanks for commenting!
