The danger of SLS & SLES

Both Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and its close relative Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) are commonly used in many soaps, shampoo, toothpaste & other products that we expect to "foam up". Both chemicals are very effective foaming agents, chemically known as surfactants.

SLS & SLES are esters of Sulphuric acid-SLS is also known as “Sulfuric acid monododecyl ester sodium salt”, however there are over 150 different names by which it is known. SLES is commonly contaminated with dioxane(a known carcinogen).
Although SLES is somewhat less irritating than SLS, it cannot be metabolized by the liver & its effects are therefore much longer-lasting.

Some soaps have concentrations of up to 30%, which the ACT report called "highly irritating and dangerous".
Shampoos are among the most frequently reported products to the FDA. Reports include eye irritation, scalp irritation, tangled hair, swelling of the hands, face and arms and split and fuzzy hair. The main cause of these problems is sodium lauryl sulfate.

Some of the effects of SLS & SLES are skin irritation/ skin corrosion, hormone imbalances, eye irritation/ eye deformities in children, protein denaturing & carcinogenicity.

This is why Orchid Rain and Latherup Canada products made by Orchid Rain will always be SLS & SLES free.
