Sodium Laureth and Your Health

What is sodium laureth?
"A common ingredient in personal care products, sodium lauryl sulfate, or SLS, is an additive that allows cleansing products to foam. According to the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database, SLS is a "moderate hazard" that has been linked to cancer, neurotoxicity, organ toxicity, skin irritation and endocrine disruption."

Did you know?
It is a misconception that a cleaning agent cleans better if it foams well.

"So, an important question to ask is, does foam directly relate to how well the product cleans?
The answer is no. The amount of foam has almost no effect on the cleaning ability of the product. Having a lot of foam isn’t vital for actually doing the cleaning, it’s mostly for aesthetic. In fact, in some cases, the presence of foam will reduce the ability to clean."
