The Environmental Working Group continues to research and release information related to harmful ingredients in all beauty products. Unsurprisingly, parabens and formaldahyde-releasing ingredients on the the top of the list from the EWG of ingredients that should disappear from beauty products all together (Source).
These ingredients are a popular preservatives in hair care products, specifically shampoos and conditions, that have been well researched and understood to be a harmful ingredient linked to cancer and hormone imbalances in women (Source).

Another thing you should consider when private labeling hair care products is you ideal customer base. There are many different types of hair from curly to strait and thin to thick. When selecting a private label hair care, consider who your customer base will be and what ingredients would benefit your customer’s hair type the most.
When looking to market your product to individuals with dry and/or curly hair for example consider:
Shea Butter
Coconut Oil
Both of these ingredients have been researched and found they improve moisture retention (Source).
If you are looking to create a product for those with dry scalp consider tea tree oil as an ingredient in your private label hair care.
