sorry to make so many edits, i knew i was allergic to coconuts, but i didn't know shampoo had coconut ANYTHING in it till my wife told me not to use a generic "mane and tail" shampoo as it had coconut oil in it. that made me start looking at ALL our shampoo and soap, checking ANYTHING that started with coco and coca on the internet. and that led me here...
quote - Gluten-Free Savonnerie Shampoo-The company informed me that this product is free of coconut oil and coconut derivatives. - quote
they lied
Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Sodium Cocoamphopropionate, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate and Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate are made from fatty acids from coconut oil, also called coconut acid.

its tricky to find some of the coconut ingredients
also, coconuts come from palm trees, therefore, there might (IMHO) be a cause for concern for palm derived ingredients.
The coconut palm tree is a native of the tropics. The fruit of the palm is known as the "coconut". <taken from http://www.allergycapital.com.au/Pages/coconut.html
