What's
Harmful About
Sodium Laurel Sulfate?
Sodium Laurel Sulfate
is a chemical filler used in soap, shampoos and conditioners,
clothes detergent, and toothpaste. It probably wouldn't get very much
attention if it wasn't for the sheer quantity this chemical is used
in skin care products.
If you look at an
ingredient label I would bet you have a 90% chance of seeing Sodium
Laurel Sulfate on the label. I would also hazard a guess that the
products that contain it will have SLS listed on the label within the
top 5 ingredients.
This is what's so
harmful about Sodium Laurel Sulfate - the sheer quantity this chemical
is used in products and exposed to our bodies.
You see, Sodium
Laurel Sulfate is a known irritant. It's used in large quantities
because it's the chemical that creates the foam, or lather you feel
when you use soap or shampoo on your hair. An added plus for manufacturer's
is that it's cheap to fill up most of a skin care product with Sodium
laurel Sulfate. Most manufacturer's, unfortunately, don't care if they're
putting a potentially harmful chemical in your shampoo so long as it
only costs them about 15 cents to create it.
As I found on Wikipedia.com,
so far Sodium laurel Sulfate is linked to mouth ulcers caused by toothpaste
and is shown to cause skin irritation or contact dermatitis in individuals
sensitive to the chemical.
But this information
is found from only two studies - 2 studies! This chemical is everywhere
and in everything. Don't you think we should know what exactly it's
doing to our bodies?
If you value your
skin and health and wanted to elliminate just one harmful chemical from
your life, I would suggest starting with Sodium laurel Sulfate. It's
a real challenge to elliminate SLS from your home, but I think it's
worth it. No other chemical is being used in such large quantities on
your skin, and without knowing the full ramifications this chemical
could have, why take a chance?
So I guess the most
harmful thing about Sodium Laurel Sulfate is what we don't know about
it.
But we do know how
to elliminate it! By purchasing products that don't contain this chemical
in the ingredient list! You can get started today because L'Bri now
