Brilliant solid shampoo for lovely people...and their wonderful four legged friends!

You may be be amazed, possibly horrified at the products that contain harsh chemicals like SLS (sodium lauryl Sulphate) SLS is used in soaps, body washes, bubble baths, shampoos, foaming bath bombs and toothpaste. It is used in most high street products, products supposed to be for sensitive and problem skin, expensive designer products, expensive handmade products, horse and dog shampoos and even baby products.

SLS is a very strong commercial degreaser, it is used to clean factory floors, degrease car engines, it is a known irritant and it is used in experiements to irritate the skin to test skin calming products!

Basically SLS strips the skin of its natural oils produced by the skin. I have done a lot of research in to this via the library and the internet and I have become alarmed with what I have discovered. This is just some of the information that I have found out, but I suggest that anyone who reads this has a look for themselves.

The information that I have found, links SLS not only to retarding healing and the development of childrens eyes, but causing cataracts in adults. Some reports suggest that it is carsonogenic which leads to cancer. SLS has a low molecular weight so it is easily absorbed by the skin, therefore it can build up in the heart, liver and brain. SLS is a caustic cleanser that can actually corrode the hair folicle and impairs the ability for the hair to grow. SLS causes the dysfunction of the biological systems of the skin.

SLES (sodium laureth sulphate) is a bi-product of SLS and is also a known irritant. Products that contain SLES can affect those prone to ecezema and other irritants. These substances provide a foaming quality to the product, allowing for better distrubution when applying the product, eg. washing hair, brushing teeth etc. When rinsed off the product will have cleaned the area, but will have taken moisture from the top layers of the skin, therefore with people with sensitive skin (prone to dermatitus, acne, eczema, psoriasis and chemical sensitivity, the drying property of these type of detergents can cause flare-ups of the skin conditions or may worsen existing conditions.

PARABENS(menthyl, propyl,betyl and ethyl) (preservatives)
These are all highly toxic preservatives used in most skin care products. They are estrogen mimics that disrupt hormones. They are known to cause allergic reactions and severe skin rashes. Traces of Parabens have also been found in lymph gland and breast cancer tumours!
