Thank you for the tip about your shampoo. I got straight up and checked mine, and yes PEG is listed there. Gonna chuck it out and buy another brand (hopefully I'll find one).

These little bits of information make the comments infinitely worth my while. Thank you again.

Yes, and that's even worse I'd think. Shampoo says PEG-55, Oral-B has PEG-6. I also seem to recall PEG-24. Makes me wonder at the differences between one PEG and another. Kinda confusing. It didn't use to take a degree in chemistry to wash one's hair and brush one's teeth.

Try Dr Bronner's soap... all natural ingredients and so on. The liquid version is a good shampoo; the bar soap is even better (makes more bubbles! <G>)

I've been using Kirk's bar soap for years. Purchased at Walmart. I use it for body and hair. Other soaps had me breaking out. Same with deodorant. Most of it is pure chemistry. I actually use sauve. I don't get rashes.

you are very welcome and yes there are shampoos without it. Right now I got at least 10 different ones LOL. A cheap one from the regular store is head and shoulders and that is now my favorite.
