#Sodium #Lauryl #Sulfate (SLS) is an inexpensive detergent and surfactant that is widely used in #shampoo, #body #wash, #shaving #cream, #toothpaste, and other products.
The American College of Toxicology found that SLS easily penetrates the #skin and can circulate in the body for up to 5 days, leaving residues in the heart, liver, lungs, and brain.
#SLS can strip #moisture and #oils from the hair and skin, causing #rashes, #hair #loss, and a condition similar to #dandruff.
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that SLS produces skin and hair damage, including #cracking, and severe inflammation of the derma-epidermis tissue.
Another older study fouund that SLS damages #DNA in cells.
Itβs bad enough that these #chemicals are widely used in products made for adults, but the sad truth is they are also contained in products marketed for infants and children.
This group is most at risk from chemicals in personal care products because of its under-developed detoxification capabilities and the highly porous nature of the skin.
Finding shampoo and other personal care products that do not contain these toxic chemicals can be a chore.
The best place to look is at health food stores, or an online equivalent. Seeing a product labeled as βnaturalβ doesnβt mean it is free of these chemicals.
Go for #certified #bones organic and above all, read the label." Source: naturalsociety.com
