"Sulfate free" - What if we checked ??

These compounds are today in turmoil and are the subject of various controversies. They are now classified as "aggressive" surfactants, irritating to the skin and scalp.
Many products thus refers to a formulation "Without sulfates," but are they really "sulfate free"?
