SLS Free & Glamorous

pinup

As every goddess out there knows, being healthy is an important part of being glamorous. However, it can be challenging to find good quality products that are also good for you.

I have recently declared a war on products containing Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) (also Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)).

SLS is a detergent and surfectant used in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos and toothpaste for example) due to being inexpensive and a very effective foaming agent. Unfortunately this chemical is very harsh and a number of health concerns have been raised in published reports.

The main concerns regarding products containing SLS:
- worsened skin problems in individuals with chronic skin hypersensitivity
- in toothpaste may cause mouth ulcers (also known as canker sores or aphthous ulcers)
- has been shown to irritate the skin of the face with prolonged and constant exposure
- in animals causes skin and eye irritation
- linked to hair loss
- etc,
…the list is endless

If you’re interested in reading more, Google it – there’s reading aplenty available!

I have decided to go entirely SLS free and will list the wonderful SLS free products I have found here:
