SLS/Sodium Laurel Sulfate – is a detergent and foaming agent used widely in all types of soaps, shampoos, face washes, bath and shower gels and toothpastes.  Recently found to be more harmful to the skin than had previously been believed and that SLS can in fact stay in the body for 5 days or more.  It has a drying and thickening effect on skin and can damage the delicate mucous membrane of the mouth and even be the cause of mouth ulcers and cause irritation to the eyes.

It would be nice to be able to list a wonderful list of alternatives to these chemicals and I believe that inroads are being made into this study and we will make it our future study to further protect the family that we have.

We may all need to change the way we think about and treat the products we use in our bathrooms.

Sorrells Naturally Ltd beauty products are SLS free.
