Silken™ Mild Family Shampoo - rich and gentle for the whole family

It's a cheap ingredient...It foams a lot...It thickens with salt...but that's not the end of the story....

Here are some of the other things Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) does:

SLS can damage the immune system; causing separation of skin layers and inflammation of skin. - Journal of the American College of Toxicology; Vol. 2, No. 7, 1983

SLS penetrates into the skin and into the eyes, and is also held in the brain, heart and liver. A single drop stays in the brain and body for a few days. - "Doctor's worry: Is your baby safe?," By David L. Kern, "New Health And Longevity"

SLS denatures proteins of eye tissues - impairing eye development permanently. - Dr. Keith Green, PHD, D.Sc., Medical College of Georgia

SLS is a mutagen. It is capable of changing the information in genetic material found in cells. SLS has been used in studies to induce mutagen in bacteria. - Higuchi, Araya and Higuchi, School Of Medicine, Tohoku University: Sendai 980 Japan

SLS is a potent carcinogen when contaminated with a nitrosamines. - FDA Report, 1978
