vanni je napisal/aSodium Laureth sulfate tudi lahko povzroči iritacije -
vendar ne vsem, je pa sigurno veliko manj dražeč kot lauryl sulfate.
Jaz osebno se raje izogibam izdelkom za
nego obraza,
ki vsebujejo soduim laureth sulfate, za nego telesa in las pa se mu je
itak skoraj nemogoče izogniti, ker je praktično povsod. Tako da jaz se
strinjam z Jerco.
Tanja tudi pravi, da je sodium laureth sulfate OK, in v primerjavi z lauryl sulfate je res.
Na cosmetics copu piše samo za SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), da je iritant, SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) pa ne.
sodium laureth sulfate. Can be derived from coconut; it is used primarily as a detergent cleansing agent.
It is considered gentle and effective.
sodium lauryl sulfate. There has
been a great deal of misinformation about sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)
being circulated on the Internet. Used primarily as a detergent
cleansing agent SLS can be derived from coconut.
Although it is a
potent skin irritant it is not toxic or dangerous for skin. In
concentrations of 2% to 5%, SLS can cause allergic or sensitizing
reactions in lots of people. It is used as a standard in scientific
studies to establish irritatancy or sensitizing properties of other
ingredients (Sources:
European Journal of Dermatology, September-October 2001, pages 416�419;
American Journal of Contact Dermatitis, March 2001, pages 28�32; and
Skin Pharmacology and Applied Skin Physiology,
September-October 2000, pages 246�257). Being a skin irritant, however,
is not the same as a link to cancer, which is what erroneous warnings
on the Internet are falsely claiming about this ingredient!
According to Health Canada, in a press release of February 12, 1999
(www.hc-sc.gc.ca/), �A letter has been circulating the Internet which
claims that there is a link between cancer and sodium laureth (or
lauryl) sulfate (SLS), an ingredient used in . Health Canada
has looked into the matter and has found no scientific evidence to
suggest that SLS causes cancer. It has a history of safe use in Canada.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that this e-mail warning
is a hoax. The letter is signed by a person at the University of
Pennsylvania Health System and includes a phone number. Health Canada
contacted the University of Pennsylvania Health System and found that
it is not the author of the sodium laureth sulfate warning and does not
endorse any link between SLS and cancer. Health Canada considers SLS
safe for use in cosmetics. Therefore, you can continue to use cosmetics
containing SLS without worry.� Further, according to the American
Cancer Society�s Web site (www.cancer.org), �Contrary to popular rumors
on the Internet, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate
(SLES) do not cause cancer. E-mails have been flying through cyberspace
claiming SLS and SLES causes cancer � and is proven to cause
cancer.... A search of recognized medical journals yielded no
published articles relating this substance to cancer in humans.
