The Study of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) Toxicity

Dave Dhruv*

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), an anionic detergent, is created through a chemical process. SLS was utilized in a variety of consumer and medical items, including toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo, soap, face wash, and other cosmetics. Much research demonstrates that SLS has negative impacts. Many studies also suggest that SLS-containing products cause eye irritation, skin damage, mouth cytotoxicity, and cell protein damage, as well as hair loss. SLS has been demonstrated in scientific tests to have negative effects when used in high concentrations and incubated for a long period. SLS also has an impact on microbiologically on body. This article is not suggested the SLS containing product use should be closed but it incubation time and concentration is must be less. Many animal based research is describe for mouth wash containing product used 1%-2% w/w concentration, for skin care product (1% w/v), for shampoo (10%-25% w/v) concentration is used. Only 2.4% of SLS-containing products are licensed in the UK.
