Does your product have have sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate in it?
None. SLS & SLES (Look at your shampoo bottle and youll see in most cases it listed near the top of ingredients.) Soap as everyone knows is very drying and many of the leading products have this ingredient in them. Consequently, it will end up producing more sulfur compounds. Why are they placed in products? They make them foam, the big companies think you won’t wash with a product that doesn’t FOAM! SLES & SLS has no other use than to make FOAM. Both Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and its close relative Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) are commonly used in many soaps, shampoos, detergents, toothpastes and other products that we expect to “foam up”. Both chemicals are very effective foaming agents. SLS and SLES are esters of Sulphuric acid – SLS is also known as “Sulfuric acid monododecyl ester sodium salt”, however there are over 150 different names by which it is known. In fact, SLES is commonly contaminated with dioxane. SLES is somewhat less irritating than Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
