The Dangers of SLS and other Chemicals
According to studies conducted at the University of Georgia Medical College, SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) penetrates in various parts of the body such as the liver, brain and heart. It can harm the vision of young people; in fact, in a few cases it has been shown that long-term exposure to high concentrations of SLS can lead to cataracts in children.
Since it is an irritant and has caustic qualities, SLS can also potentially cause skin infections and hair loss.
When SLS comes into contact with other reactive substances that are also found in skin care products, it can lead to nitrate formations which some observers believe are carcinogens.
This is another reason that natural skin products are so important.
According to one online report, one thousand new chemicals are introduced every year and "the FDA simply can't keep up." Another online report that quoted the Poison Control Center said that as of 1999, reported cases regarding exposure to harmful chemicals found in household products and personal care products totaled more than two million.
Note that SLS is not the only chemical you should be wary of. Read the ingredients of any of your household and personal care products. These are some substances you should be vigilant about:
- Propylene glycol
- Parabens
- Phenols
- Ammonium hydroxide
- Dibutyl-phthalates
