This article will shock you if you use toothpaste, shampoo,

shower gel, bath foam and other personal care and household

products.

Most of us happily purchase personal care and household

products without giving it a second thought.

Take a look on the back of some of your products and take

the bathroom test today!

Do you have any of the following ingredients listed

.Sodium Lauryl Sulpate,

.Sodium Laureth Sulphate,

.Aluminium, Alcohol,

.propylene Glycol, and

.DEA

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is commonly found in toothpastes,

bubble bath, shampoos and soaps. It's used as a thickener

and foaming agent, but has also been found to be a skin

irritant.

Shampooing your hair with a shampoo containg SLS can put as

many nitrates into your body as if you ate a pound of

bacon!

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is also used as a wetting agent in

garage floor cleaners and engine degreasers.

Sodium Laureth Sulphate is a higher foaming version of SLS

and may be less irritating, however it may cause drying.

Like Sodium Lauryl Sulphate it may cause the potentially

carciogenic formation of nitrates on reacting with other

product ingredients.

Aluminium is commonly found in deodorants. Used regularly it

can increase the risk of alzheimer's by up to 3 times. (From

Natural Health May-June 1983)

Alcohol is found in mouthwashes. Mouthwashes containing high

amounts of alcohol have been implicated in cancers of the

mouth and throat, according to a 1991 study from the

National Cancer Institute.

Propylene Glycol is found in a wide range of personal care

products including cosmetics, shampoos and foam baths.

Propylene Glycol is a cosmetic form of oils found in brake

and hydraulic fluid, as well as antifreeze. In cosmetic

products it stops moisture escaping from the skin. Material

Safety Data Sheets warn users to avoid skin contact with

propylene glycol as this strong skin irritant could cause

kidney damage and liver abnormalities.

DEA is a wetting agent used to provide a lather in shampoos,

skin creams and cosmetics. On it's own it's not harmful, but

during storage on a shelf or in a bathroom cupboard it may

react with other ingredients to produce carcinogens.
