That all of the sudden, it\u2019s in every product and all over your Instagram feed? This is what our <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/topic\/beauty-buzzwords\/\">Beauty Buzzwords<\/a> series is all about \u2013 helping you learn more about these mysterious ingredients and why everyone is raving about them.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Next up we\u2019re taking a closer look at sodium lauryl sulfate, an ingredient that you might want to avoid.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>What is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate?<\/h4>\n<p>Sodium lauryl sulfate (or SLS) is a cleansing agent that gives products that foamy texture we all love. It\u2019s found in a lot of home cleaning and personal care products, especially the foamy ones like shampoos, soaps, and face cleansers.<\/p>\n<h4>Why Should I Avoid It?<\/h4>\n<p>When it comes to (potentially harmful) beauty buzzwords like <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/beauty-buzzwords-parabens\/\">parabens<\/a> and SLS, there\u2019s always going to be conflicting information. While I\u2019m always here to help guide you, I think it\u2019s important to be aware of the general research and to make the decision that\u2019s right for you!<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, a study on long-term exposure to sodium lauryl sulfate concluded that SLS is an irritant because even when only a small dose was applied to the skin, it caused contact dermatitis (a type of inflammation). The researchers found that SLS caused significant redness and dryness over a six-week period, and when the exposure stopped, so did the reactions (1).<\/p>\n<p>So simply put &#8211; SLS is an irritant. When applied to the skin (or scalp) it\u2019s likely to cause redness, dryness, and irritation, especially when applied over a long period of time.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not all. It can also accumulate in the body, causing \u201ctarget organ damage\u201d and \u201cgeneral deterioration of health\u201d (2). Which sound super vague and scary.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of companies who use SLS argue that the concentrations are low enough to avoid irritation. But that\u2019s not entirely true. If you use ten products every day with low concentrations of SLS, that concentration is going to increase. And if you\u2019re exposed to SLS over a long period of time, it can accumulate in your body, which nobody wants.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention that if you already have sensitive or dry skin, the last thing you want is an ingredient that\u2019s going to worsen those issues. This is why I avoid SLS &#8211; I don\u2019t want to take the chance of anything irritating my skin, especially considering I have sensitive, dry, AND acne prone skin.<\/p>\n<p>However, even though SLS is a well-known skin irritant, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cir-safety.org\/\">Cosmetic Ingredient Review<\/a>, an industry trade association, argues it is safe for consumer use (3). Which means it\u2019s in a lot of conventional products, and that\u2019s probably not going to change anytime soon. Luckily, you have other options.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50796\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Sodium-Lauryl-Sulfate-1-1-1-768x1139.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50796\" class=\"wp-image-50796 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Sodium-Lauryl-Sulfate-1-1-1-768x1139.png\" alt=\"Beauty Buzzwords: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate\" width=\"768\" height=\"1139\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50796\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>When applied to the skin (or scalp) SLS is likely to cause redness, dryness, and irritation.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h4>How Can I Avoid It?<\/h4>\n<p>While it might be a challenge at first, avoiding sodium lauryl sulfate is pretty simple.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re looking for a new product, read the ingredients list and if you find SLS, just skip it. This can be really annoying at first as you realize how many products contain SLS, but it\u2019s so worth it in the long run! To make things easy, consider <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/the-indie-beauty-shop_3709.html\">clean beauty products<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/natural-cleaning-supplies_1067.html\">natural home cleaning alternatives<\/a>. You\u2019ll have an easier time finding options because natural products avoid ingredients like SLS.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to know that SLS might also be listed as sodium salt, sodium salt sulfuric acid, monododecyl ester, or aquarex methyl. You can find the entire list of synonyms <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/skindeep\/ingredient\/706110\/SODIUM_LAURYL_SULFATE\/\">here<\/a>. This is another reason why I recommend switching to clean beauty &#8211; you\u2019ll be able to recognize the ingredients and know they\u2019re safe without having to memorize a list of questionable chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re just getting started with clean beauty, check out brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/andalou-naturals.html\">ANDALOU naturals<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/wildcraft.html\">Wildcraft<\/a>. They make some of my favourite clean beauty products, all without SLS, and at a reasonable price point!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re getting started with natural home cleaning options, brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/attitude-2.html\">ATTITUDE<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/method.html\">Method<\/a> are brands I\u2019ve used and loved. However, if you want to get creative with a DIY, you totally can. My favourite all-purpose house cleaner is 1 cup water, \u00bd cup white vinegar, and 20 drops of <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/categories\/essential-oils_4919.html\">essential oil<\/a>. I use this literally everywhere &#8211; even in my car.<\/p>\n<p>Avoiding questionable ingredients can be tricky at first, but once you take a look at the research and make the decision that\u2019s best for you, things get a lot easier.
