Why Sulfate-Free?
Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate ("SLS) was originally used in commercial cleaning agents as a degreaser with foaming action. Eventually it was added to shampoos and soaps as people like bubbles. Although the bubbles are fun, the sulfates tend to dry out skin and hair as it breaks down the natural oils. Unfortunately now, unless a product specifically mentions that it is "Sulfate-Free" you must assume that is contains SLS as a sudsing agent. What does this mean to you?
