Hi Elastigirl, nearly all shampoos are derived from coconut oil one way or another. All the ones in my bathroom at the moment certainly are. If the main ingredient is sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate then it is still going to have a drying effect on your scalp. The problem is the sodium bit. The lauryl bit is the bit that comes from coconut oil. I am sure the US is the same, but here in the UK there are a few products making genuinely natural products that are better for your skin. There are also some people putting standard products in environmentally friendly looking packs and charging a premium. If you are interested in this sort of thing it pays to do your research.
