Keratin Shampoo

Barcode 5061015258591
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Keratin Shampoo is ultra-processed.

Not applicable as food; industrial cleansing additives make it highly processed.

This is a cosmetic shampoo rather than a food product, so the NOVA food-processing classification is not directly applicable. It contains industrial cleansing and formulation ingredients, including sodium laureth sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamide DEA, fragrance, and colorant. These are processed surfactants or additives used to create cleansing, foaming, sensory, and appearance properties; under the requested criteria, they lead to a UPF classification.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?
