SLS and SLES

Organic shampoo does not foam like the shampoo from the local store. The lack of foam was due to the product being SLS/SLES sulfate-free . All sulfates are used as cleansers, and are therefore often included in shampoos and soaps, but certain types of sulfates (SLS/SLES) can have a drying effect on the hair and scalp. These should be avoided.

SLS and SLES are sulfates. Both are so-called surfactants that are artificially produced. They are largely made from palm oil, which has a negative environmental impact to the extent that oil is used from plantations that displace rainforests. Surfactants reduce the surface tension of water and make it easier to create bubbles/foam.

SLS and SLES in hygiene products are not harmful to health, but they break down both the protective fat layer and the water barrier and can dry out skin and hair and cause irritation.
