Uh...So Many Bad ingredients

Introduction

     Okay, unless you have it sulfate free, look at the ingredients list on your shampoo bottle. A bunch of what is there probably looks like gibberish, if you don't have the most "safe" and "natural" shampoo. There are two ingredients in particular this post will focus on, sodium laureth sulfate and its relative known as sodium lauryl sulfate. The immediate difference is the -eth and -yl. The shampoo label thing in the beginning is because these two ingredients are quite common in shampoo. However, they may be contaminated with ethylene oxide. It has been noted has being a, not possible, but known carcinogen for people. That is not good not an variety of levels. Want to learn more? Just keep reading.

Opinion

      I basically hate these two ingredients. They are also found in household cleaning products, dish soap, cosmetics, and a load of other things. They are foaming agents. What irks me the most about them is, almost every shampoo will have them, and they're dangerous. I mean, the ethylene oxide it can have could harm your nervous system, and the California Environmental Protection Agency categorized it as a potential developmental toxin for the reason that  it has the possibility to disrupt development in people. SLS( sodium lauryl sulfate) is able to irritate your skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. I don't want to chance any bad things happening to me because of these sulfates. Going for sulfate-free products is a pretty good way to avoid these things.

Final Thoughts

      Sulfates can also dry out, strip, and damage your skin. Remember, for every thing you buy there will always be a downside, nothing is perfect. Just be the opposite of careless. So, what's your view on sulfates? Answer in the comments below.
