Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
Other names: SLES
Harm score: 3 (Harmless chemicals)
Sodium Laureth Sulfate, often referred to as SLES, is a widely used chemical element in cosmetic and body products. Its main purpose lies in its detergency, or cleansing ability, which makes this chemical element very popular for the production of shampoos, shower gels, foaming baths and other body care products. But SLES also finds applications in other spheres. It can be found in toothpastes, a range of cleaning products and in the textile industry for the production of both wool and cotton fabrics.
SLES is known for creating a thick, rich lather, making it an ideal ingredient for shampoos and body shower gels. Its greatest advantage is that it can remove dirt and oils from the body and hair without damaging the skin or hair. Despite the fact that Sodium Laureth Sulfate is safe for human health, its use can be unpleasant for some individuals. It can cause skin irritation, especially in people with more sensitive skin or those who use it in excessive amounts. It is important to be alert to such symptoms and to stop using the product if they occur.
