Total Rebalance Shampoo
Fewer concerns on: Harsh Surfactants & Irritants, Fragrance & Allergen Load, Carcinogen & Contaminant Risk +1 more
Mildy Every Day Shampoo
Fewer concerns on: Preservative Safety
Scores: Total Rebalance Shampoo has the higher Decode Label score (8.7 vs 5.0). Which difference matters most depends on who is eating or using it — that's your call.
A higher score means fewer or lighter concerns found under Decode Label's published rules. It is not a medical "safe", and a lower score does not establish that a product is unsafe.
Safety Score
A complex, botanical-rich shampoo with a focus on milder cleansing and a wide array of active ingredients.
Safety Score
A straightforward shampoo with a primary surfactant that may be irritating for some, and less ingredient transparency.
Side by side
What each label says.
Fragrance allergens matter mainly if you have sensitive skin or a known fragrance allergy.
What these labels can't tell us
- How much of each ingredient is in the product — labels list order, not amounts.
- What is inside a bare "Fragrance" — it can include allergens the label does not name.
- How the finished product performs, or how your skin or scalp will react — an ingredient list cannot show either.
- Anything a laboratory test would find — Decode Label reads labels; it does not test products.
Concern match
A separate lens from the overall Safety Score above — how well each product suits a specific concern, not an overall verdict. Each concern is scored 0–10: higher means less of that concern (5 ≈ neutral).

For , scores higher ( vs ). This is only a per-concern fit lens — it doesn't change the overall safety score, where still has the higher score.
For , the two are evenly matched. The overall safety verdict is unchanged.
This one is read from the two ingredient lists rather than measured by the Decode Label engine — useful for choosing, but it is not a safety finding.
Total Rebalance Shampoo scores higher due to its use of milder surfactants like Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, compared to Mildy Every Day Shampoo's primary use of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which has a higher irritation potential.
Total Rebalance Shampoo has a slightly higher score because it explicitly lists several essential oils such as Lavandula Angustifolia Oil and Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil, allowing for transparency regarding potential allergens, whereas Mildy Every Day Shampoo lists 'Fragrance' without further detail.
Mildy Every Day Shampoo scores higher as its 'Preservatives' are not specified, making it difficult to assess, while Total Rebalance Shampoo uses Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate, which are generally well-regarded but still specific compounds.
Both products score similarly as Mildy Every Day Shampoo contains Aloe Vera, known for soothing properties, and Total Rebalance Shampoo includes a wide array of botanical extracts and essential oils, some of which could be sensitizing for individuals with specific sensitivities.
Both products score similarly as neither product explicitly lists ingredients widely recognized as endocrine disruptors in their primary ingredient lists, based on current common understanding.
Total Rebalance Shampoo scores higher by avoiding Coconut Diethanolamine, which can be a concern due to potential nitrosamine formation, an issue not present with the ingredients listed in Total Rebalance Shampoo.
Total Rebalance Shampoo scores higher due to its extensive and specific listing of botanical extracts, essential oils, and other active ingredients, providing a comprehensive view of its composition, in contrast to Mildy Every Day Shampoo's more generic listings like 'GHTC' and 'Preservatives'.
Declared ingredients linked to common haircare goals
Ingredient read — not a safety scoreRead from the two ingredient lists rather than measured by the Decode Label engine, so these sit apart from the scores above and do not change the verdict. 5 means neutral — no ingredient that helps or hinders. Traditional cosmetic use, not a medical claim — and the ingredient list alone does not establish that the finished product delivers the benefit.
