Both Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and its close relative Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) are commonly used in many soaps, shampoos, detergents, toothpastes and other products that we expect to "foam up". Both chemicals are very effective foaming agents, chemically known as surfactants.
SLS and SLES are esters of Sulphuric acid - SLS is also known as "Sulfuric acid monododecyl ester sodium salt", however there are over 150 different names by which it is known. In fact, SLES is commonly contaminated with dioxane, a known carcinogen.
Although SLES is somewhat less irritating than Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, it cannot be metabolised by the liver and its effects are therefore much longer-lasting.
A report published in the Journal of The American College of Toxicology in 1983 showed that concentrations as low as 0.5% could cause irritation and concentrations of 10-30% caused skin corrosion and severe irritation. National Institutes of Health "Household Products Directory" of chemical ingredients lists over 80 products that contain sodium lauryl sulfate. Some soaps have concentrations of up to 30%, which the ACT report called "highly irritating and dangerous".
Shampoos are among the most frequently reported products to the FDA. Reports include eye irritation, scalp irritation, tangled hair, swelling of the hands, face and arms and split and fuzzy hair. The main cause of these problems is sodium lauryl sulfate.

Dubai: A fake e-mail carrying the logo of Dubai Government and Dubai Police warning residents against certain brands of shampoo for containing a cancer-causing agent has the authorities in a lather.
Headlined "Shampoos banned by Dubai government - stop if you're using this," the e-mail mentions a number of well-known shampoo brands for containing sodium laureate sulfate.
The substance is commonly used in cosmetics and shampoos for its foaming properties.
Dr Ali Mohammad Singel, director of medical service at Dubai Police, told Gulf News there was no truth in the e-mail, calling the act "criminal".
"Dubai Police would not get involved with product recalls. We deal with security. If [there is a concern], we forward it to Dubai Municipality and they will investigate and make the announcement," he said.
He added police would investigate the fake e-mail, to try and trace the source.
It is criminal misusing the government's logo to create mass panic, he said.
The e-mail is in Arabic, but written left to right. It also tells recipients it is their duty as "responsible citizens" to forward the warning.
An official at Dubai Municipality Clinic told Gulf News residents should always take such e-mails with a pinch of salt.
Salam Mesmar, head of public health at the municipality, said forwarded e-mails were not how official product recalls and health warnings would be treated.
