  • "not a necessary ingredient in soap or shampoo for them to be effective" Quite to the contrary, it is the active ingredient in many soaps. Dish detergent more or less is this molecule.

    As for things causing irritation, almost anything can do that, and being "natural" does not making something better.

  • dont buy no products. simple

    Make your own natural products

  • There are some interesting comments below here, Pokerfacemama, in case you didn't read them. I don't know about Aveeno, but you can contact the manufacturers/distributors for a list of ingredients. My quick search indicates Aveeno isn't the healthiest of products.

  • I developed hand eczema. I notice my hands start itching after showers. Does anyone know if there are any soaps without it? Does Aveeno have it?

  • @ThePokerfacemama Dr. Bronner's soaps are SLS-free. They also don't have ANY other weird chemicals. Read the ingredients list on one of these soaps, then compare it to any major brand. You will be astonished.

  • Alright everyone. Listen to this very useful tip.There is this detergent that is used for a variety of things. Its called Borax. I recommend you get it. Very good for body wash and used as a hair shampoo. You will get the best results ever give it a try and see for yourself. You can get it even at your local Walmart, very affordable. I hope this has helped some of you.Research it for yourself but I give you my word, I've done the research already. You will truly love me for this.

  • Laurel Sulfate IS a Carcinogen, and it IS proven. You just say that it isn't because you listen to the FDA, who gets the majority of its funding from the very same companies that it's supposed to monitor. (Read the Wall Street Journal).

  • yeah it is true. to obtain natural stuff go to Muslim Shops and you will find many healthy products and you will discover new for you but old recommended products.

  • Stephen, I'm not arguing that SLS isn't in many more things than just shampoo, but shampoo is a common one. Look at the title of this video -- Ban SLS ; I don't care what we take it out of, as long as we get rid of it. Since my site is geared toward the greening of the hospitality industry, most specifically hotels, I'm tackling one issue at a time.

    Time for us all to clean up our lives, and demand hotels do too.

  • Palmolive bar soap does not have it and can be found in dollar stores for a buck a bar and there is a brand of shampoo called ABBA in Kroger's grocery stores that is SLS free as well. It's about $13.00 a bottle. Hope this helps.

  • Some of them dont even have printed SLS on their ingredients list but i researched them and it did

  • ...And IT has been proven to be an irritant to animals, so why are we being inundated with products that contain it?

    Is this some kind of conspiricy or something?

    I am not the paranoid type, but I am becoming one after this experience with SLS.

    And they have numerous names to hide the fact that its in the product you are using too...

    IS THE FDA TRYING TO HARM US?

  • oh the FDA isnt trying to harm is, it is doing everything in their power TO HARM AS, and from the looks of things, its sure the hell working.

  • I am allergic to this substance, and find that it is very expensive to find products that don't have them. My eyes are constantly running, and when I asked my eye Dr about it; he told me to use JOHNSON BABY SHAMPOO. What's the first ingredient after water? SLS!

    Why are doctors so unaware of the dangers of this substance, and why is it so expensive to find an alternative?

    I am not a wealthy person, so this is a REAL problem for me.

    Thank you for posting this!

    Most people are unaware...

  • I allergic too it cause my hair to fall out in clumps so I have switched to conditioner only burts bees dosent contain it Ive heard in there shampoo so I might try burts bees shampoo but I am extremely protective of my hair and I will not use shampoo if it causes my hair to fall out

  • @xoxoshorteexoxo

    That's horrible; your hair is falling out? Have you seen a doctor about it?

    The problem is finding products that don't have SLS in them, almost every cleansing product around has it!

    Do be careful and let me know if you find products that do not have SLS in them, because I am finding it very hard to do so.

    EVERYTHING seems to have SLS in it.
