Sodium Laureth Sulfate SLES Cleaning Agent
An Excellent Cleansing Agent
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is the second most common ingredient listed after water in the majority of shampoos, body washes, and toothpastes. SLES is highly irritating and prone to causing allergies, with its irritancy further exacerbated in hard water.
Due to its strong foaming properties and low cost, SLES is widely adopted by personal care product manufacturers. However, it is worth noting that Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is actually intended for cleaning garage floors. Its cleansing power is excessively strong, leading to weakened skin and reduced resistance.
Long-term use can severely impair the scalp's defensive capabilities, triggering various scalp issues. Currently, 95% of shampoos contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate, with only a few professional high-end brands like ITELY offering Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)-free alternatives.
