FREE from SLES
Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) is a detergent widely used in shampoos and other personal care products. SLES may be irritating to eyes and skin.
SLES can become contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers to be a probable carcinogen. The U.S. FDA encourages manufacturers to strip out this contaminant.
A somewhat stronger cousin of SLES is sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). The Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association discourages use of SLS in products intended for prolonged use.
Since these ingredients can cause skin and eye irritation, it is prudent to discontinue use if these symptoms appear. Irritants may permit the penetration of other, more dangerous chemicals. It is recommended to limit exposure to SLES/SLS.
Testimonial:

Information from Wikipedia…
SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE
Sodium laureth sulfate, or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), is a detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc.). It is an inexpensive and very effective foamer.
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (also known as sodium lauryl sulfate or SLS) is a stronger cousin and commonly used in place of the less irritant SLES in many soaps, shampoos, washing powders, toothpastes and other bathroom products because of its lower cost.
While SLS is a known irritant, some evidence and research suggest that SLES can also cause irritation after extended exposure. As SLES cannot be metabolised by the liver, its effects are therefore much longer-lasting.
Effects On Sensitive Skin
Products containing these substances can affect those prone to eczema and other irritants. These substances provide a foaming quality to the product, allowing for better distribution of the product while washing hair or skin and while brushing teeth. When rinsed off, the product will have cleaned the area but will have taken moisture from the top layers of skin. In people with sensitive skin (prone to dermatitis, acne, eczema, psoriasis and chemical sensitivity), the drying property of these type of detergents can cause flare-ups of skin conditions or may worsen existing conditions.
Health Concerns
The Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association (CTFA) and the American Cancer Society stated that the common belief that SLES is a carcinogen is an urban legend. However, the Environmental Working Group has claimed in their Skin Deep Report that SLES may possibly be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane. SLES and SLS have been known to become contaminated with 1,4-dioxane. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers 1,4-dioxane to be a probable carcinogen. While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration encourages manufacturers to remove this contaminant, it is not currently required by federal law.
Alternative Names
* Sodium Alkyl ether sulfate
* Sodium POE(2) lauryl ether sulfate
* Sodium diethylene glycol lauryl ether sulfate
* Sodium lauryl ether sulfate
So why are SLES/SLS used in so many brands of shower gel, shampoo and soap?
The answer is simple - it is cheap. The sodium lauryl sulfate found in our soaps is exactly the same as you would find in a car wash or even a garage, where it is used to degrease car engines.
In the same way as it dissolves the grease on car engines, sodium lauryl sulfate also dissolves the oils on your skin, which can cause a drying effect. It is also well documented that it denatures skin proteins, which causes not only irritation, but also allows environmental contaminants easier access to the lower, sensitive layers of the skin.
Perhaps most worryingly, SLS is also absorbed into the body from skin application. Once it has been absorbed, one of the main effects of sodium lauryl sulfate is to mimic the activity of the hormone Oestrogen. This has many health implications and may be responsible for a variety of health problems from PMS and Menopausal symptoms to dropping male fertility and increasing female cancers such as breast cancer, where oestrogen levels are known to be involved.

Let’s go GREEN and do our part in protecting the environment. Let’s help save Mother Earth for our current and future generations to live safely and enjoy. Make it a choice to use only top grade Green Label products.
Green labelling (or eco-labelling) refers to a scheme which awards environment-friendly products with eco-labels. Many consumer products in the market whether directly or indirectly, through their manufacturing processes, usage, or disposal, have an impact on our environment. They may cause pollution or deplete our natural resources. Green Labels are awarded to products which have been designed to have less undesirable effects on our environment. For example, recycled paper, appliances which conserve energy or everyday use household detergents which do not contain ingredients that are harmful to the environment.
Why We Should Buy Green Label Products Apart from selecting a product based on its price, performance and other attributes, its impact on the environment should also be carefully weighed. Consumers have the power and responsibility to choose and purchase products that are less harmful to the environment in their manufacturing, use or disposal. In doing so consumers are not only directly improving the environment through the use of a specific product, but are also sending a clear message to industries that the market demands such products.
How to Identify Look out for the Green Label logo on the product, retail packaging, or attached sticker. The Green Label is accompanied by the applicant’s identification number and a description of what environmental aspects the product has been awarded for.
AVITA Green Living Products are produced with plant-based and bio-degradable ingredients to replace our chemical-based household cleaning products like washing detergents and laundry powder which are mostly toxic and harmful to our health and damaging to our environment.

ADDITIONAL USEFUL INFORMATION
Harmful Ingredients in Detergents
Surfactants. These compounds, which create bubbles and suds in detergents, carry such potential for harm that many European countries have banned them. The most commonly used surfactants, alkyl phenol ethoxylates (APEs), classify as endocrine disruptors. Scientists have linked endocrine disruptors with many adverse health effects, including decreased sperm counts and increased risk of testicular cancer. Especially dangerous to the developing fetus, these substances also may affect the urogenital tract and nervous system. What's more, experts suspect endocrine disruptors of "programming" the function of the uterus in the developing fetus, which can lead to infertility and cancer later in life.
Chlorine. Found in laundry bleach and some detergents, chlorine irritates the lungs, eyes, and mucous membranes. We inhale chlorine when we use bleach in a washing machine with hot water, because the vapor it forms is dispersed into the air and then into our noses; we also inhale a certain amount just by opening the bottle or box. Even at very low concentrations, bleach can trigger respiratory disorders, asthma attacks, and even neurological and behavioral effects.
Fragrances. The chemicals that give mainstream laundry detergents, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets their fresh scent can irritate skin, cause allergic reactions, trigger asthma, and harm the nervous system. Some ingredients used in fragrances are also known carcinogens. What's more, studies link the phthalates in some fragrances with malformations of the penis and testes in male infants. Phthalates quickly build up in indoor air, and exposure via inhalation can have serious health effects.
Optical brighteners. Chemicals that brighten or whiten fabrics coat surfaces with fluorescent particles that act like mirrors and reflect visible light. Many come from benzene, a highly toxic compound and carcinogen that harms wildlife and the environment and can cause allergic reactions when it comes into contact with the skin.
Phosphates. Phosphates are natural minerals that are important to a variety of biological processes. A key nutrient for plants and animals, these minerals were once widely used in detergents because they did two very useful things: They reduced water hardness which allowed the detergent’s soap to clean more effectively, and they prevented dirt from being redeposited back onto the items being cleaned. But while phosphates may be a perfect ingredient for laundry and other detergents, once they’re released into the environment via household wastewater, the results are anything but desirable.The trouble starts with an algae bloom. Simply put, algae love phosphates. For these tiny plants, a washer load of phosphate-laden detergent is an invitation to a giant all-you-can-eat feast. In response to all this sudden food, the algae feed and reproduce prodigiously, and then die off in equally large numbers as the ecosystem becomes unable to support their burgeoning population.Once dead, they drift to the bottom of the pond or lake where they become food for other microorganisms. Now it’s the other microorganisms’ turn to enjoy an overabundance of food. As they feed and reproduce in growing numbers in response to the increased availability of dead algae, the microorganisms strip more and more oxygen out of the water. Eventually, if the population explosion is great enough, the waters in question become so devoid of this crucial element that they can’t support any life at all. The result is a “dead” body of water. Soon thereafter, something called eutrophication often occurs, a process by which a body of water loses all its life, fills in with solids, and becomes dry land.
