Ingredients like parabens and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) are both common chemical ingredients in conventional household soaps that may actually be harmful to us.
SLS, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
SLS, or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, is a common ingredient in many personal care products such as shampoos, soaps, and toothpaste. While SLS itself is not necessarily dangerous, it can be irritating to some people's skin and eyes.
However, some studies have suggested that SLS may have the potential to be harmful when used in large quantities or over prolonged periods. For example, one study found that SLS can cause skin irritation, and another suggested that it can be absorbed into the body and potentially accumulate in organs such as the liver and brain.
Additionally, some people may be more sensitive to SLS than others, which can result in symptoms such as skin rash, dryness, and itching.
Furthermore, some research has linked SLS to potential health risks such as cancer, although the evidence for this is limited and not conclusive,some studies have suggested that SLS may have hormonal effects, potentially disrupting the endocrine system.
PARABENS
Parabens are a group of chemicals commonly used as preservatives in many personal care products, such as cosmetics, lotions, and shampoos. While parabens have been used safely for many years, some studies have suggested that they may have negative effects on health.
One potential negative effect of parabens is that they may have estrogenic activity, which means they can mimic the hormone estrogen in the body. This can potentially disrupt the endocrine system and lead to health problems such as reproductive disorders, breast cancer, and other hormonal imbalances.
Additionally, parabens have been found to accumulate in the body over time, and some research has suggested that they may be associated with an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer.
Furthermore, parabens have been found to have a negative impact on the environment. When products containing parabens are washed down the drain, they can enter waterways and potentially harm aquatic life.
Overall, while more research is needed to fully understand the negative effects of parabens, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and to choose personal care products that are free of parabens or contain only low concentrations of them.
