Why not tear free??

From: "Yoav"

ME sent us their thougths:

Because it's a conspiracy to make us all damage our eyes and then have to wear glasses and so upping the opticians wages!!

TB did quite a bit of research and came up with this:

Little babies use shampoos that don't sting the eyes. Now that's understandable since they're babies and don't know to prevent the shampoo from entering the eyes. However, once we grow up, we stop using that shampoo and start using one that does sting the eyes. WHY ? Why do we, as adults deserve to have stinging eyes ? Why not use the no-tear formula for every shampoo ?
Baby shampoo is gentler partly because it does not have harsher chemicals as adult shampoo do. Adult hair is thicker, oilier and more exposed to the environment where baby shampoo will not do the job. Add split ends, dandruff and frizzy hair and you need stronger shampoos to make a dent in some people hairs. UnFortunately stronger shampoos mean using stronger chemicals to break down and help wash away greasy hair which can break down the natural lubrication that is in your eyes. Fortunately we as adults have learned to keep soap out of our eyes when we shower or bathe.

Norm simply stated this:

At the first one where it was played...duh

C++gUrU added to TB's research with this:

The chemical that causes your eyes to sting is an active ingredient in the shampoo. Babies don't sweat nearly as much as adults, therefore they have cleaner hair, and don't need as much cleaning power. And the useless active ingredient stings their hair, so they just take it out. But as adults sweat more and can prevent the shampoo from entering their eyes, they need the ingredient.
