SODIUM LAURYL SULPHATE (SLS)
RATING: BAD
Why is this BAD for me?
A synthentic detergent. Its works by removing dirt and excess sebum from the scalp. In shampoos, it also serves as a lathering agent. It can make your hair frizzy and trigger an allergic reaction on your scalp. Furthermore, when used for long periods of time, they can cause hormone disruption, excessive dryness, and irritation. Sulphates are also toxic to marine life and the environment.
