Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) can also be referred to by the following names: So- dium laureth sulfate, ammonium laurel sulfate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sulfuric acid and sodium salt sulfuric acid. This salt-based chemical compound is known as an efficient detergent and degreaser. It is ubiquitous in products such as floor degreasers and hair shampoo. According to the Environmental Working Group, research studies on SLS have shown links to skin and eye irritation, organ toxicity, endocrine disruption, cancer and more.
Parabens are heavily used in the cosmet- ic and skin care industry as a preservative and can be found listed as an ingredient under many hard-to-pronounce names such as propylparaben, parahydroxy- benzoic acid, parahydroxybenzoate, methylparaben, ethylparaben, and butylparaben. Studies noted in the Journal of Applied Toxicology implicate their connection with cancer because their hormone-disrupting qualities mimic estrogen that could disrupt the body’s endocrine system.
Propylene Glycol, or PG, is an active synthetic chemical found in engine coolants, paints, adhesives and other products, such as solvents. It is a com- mon cosmetic moisturizer that has been linked to kidney and liver problems and appears on the New Jersey’s Department of Health’s Right to Know Hazardous Substance List.
Diethanolamine (DEA) readily reacts with nitrite preservatives and contami- nants to create nitrosodiethanolamine (NDEA), a known and potent carcinogen. DEA seems to block absorption of the nutrient choline, which is vital to brain development.
Dioxane has been identified as one of 216 chemicals linked to breast cancer in rodents. Its carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965 and later confirmed by the National Cancer Institute in 1978.
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) can also be disguised under several other names on an ingredient list: amino acids, yeast extract, glutamic acid and nayad. Ac- cording to the FDA, side effects include numbness, burning sensations, tingling, facial pressure, headaches, nausea, drowsiness and weakness.
