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.

Sodium Laurel Sulfate is commonly formulated in:

Shampoo
Conditioner
Toothpaste
Body Wash
Liquid Soaps

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 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 offers Sulfate Free shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Check out each of these products by clicking the links below:
