My research has shown saponified oil of coconut, is the safest of all the toxic foamers. Its a pity we have become so accustomed to a feeling of froth when cleaning, when perhaps it is not required for actual cleansing…

I have read an article that reports that SLS is used commonly in lab tests on animals and humans to test for the effectiveness of skin cream and other products that help heal skin irritations. That means they are using SLS to damage the skin and irritate it. So think about that is your using SLS you might as well get paid to be a test subject.

Sodium lauryl sulfate alone has not been confirmed to be carcinogenic however, it easily binds with many common ingredients found in cosmetics forming nitrates which are carcinogenic.

There are numerous products on the market now, that do not contain sodium lauryl sulfate or the close equivilent. Read every lable though. Don’t assume a particular well known name is giving you a safe product. Read and educate yourself.

You can’t trust labeling when it says ”natural”. Look down at the end of the ingredients. If suddenly words you don’t know appear, and especially dyes with this figure#, it’s not natural. It is synthetic.

Toms of maine website says ”Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is a foaming agent naturally derived from coconut and/or palm kernel oil”. How can it be ”naturally derived” when it is done synthetically? I am confused with their claim.
