SLS is commonly used in cosmetic cleansers, hair shampoos, bath and shower gels, bubble baths, etc. - It is probably the most dangerous ingredient used in skin and hair-care products In the cleaning industry SLS is used in garage garage floor cleaners, engine degreasers, car-wash soaps, etc. It is very corrosive corrosive and readily attacks greasy surfaces. Sodium lauryl sulfate is used throughout the world for clinical testing as a primary skin irritant. Laboratories use it to irritate skin on test animals and humans so that they may then test healing agents to see how effective they are on the irritated skin A study at the University of Georgia Medical College, indicated that SLS penetrated into the eyes as well as brain, heart, liver, etc., and showed long-term retention in the tissues. The study also indicated that SLS penetrated young children's eyes, It is known that, whether it gets in the eyes or not, skin application DOES lead to measurable concentrations in the eyes of children. This is known to affect eye development, and the damage caused in this manner is irreversible. If you have children DO NOT USE products containing sodium laureth sulfate or SLS - May cause hair loss by attacking the follicle. Classified as a drug in bubble baths because it eats away skin protection and causes causes rashes and infection to occur Another extremely serious problem is the connection of SLS with nitrate contamination. SLS reacts with manytypes of ingredients used in skin products and and forms nitrosomines (nitrates). ). Nitrates are potential cancer-causing carcinogenics. Do not believe that just because a product is labeled as "natural" it is free from SLS or sodium laureth sulfateMost common brands of "Natural" or "Herbal" shampoos and cleansers still use these harmful chemicals as their main active ingredient - check your labels!
