Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is a surfactant as it lowers the surface tension between ingredients, making it useful as a cleansing and foaming agent. This ingredient is a food additive as well, though it is not allowed globally. When it is used, you will find it in foods like marshmallows, dried egg products, and fruit drinks. Be aware of health risks inked to SLS such as skin and eye irritation, aquatic toxicity, and overall nutritional pro’s and con’s.
