Arrrooo fellow pets and humans! Our friend, Jeannie Thomason had a bit to share about this less than desirable subject, WOOF!

SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) forms nitrates, possible carcinogens, when used in shampoos and cleansers containing nitrogen based ingredients. These nitrates can enter the blood stream in large numbers from shampooing, bubble baths, bath, and shower gels and facial cleansers. These synthetic substances are used in shampoos for their detergent and foam-building abilities. They can cause eye irritations, skin rashes, hair loss, scalp scurf similar to dandruff, and allergic reactions.

They are frequently disguised as pseudo-natural cosmetics with the parenthetic explanation “comes from coconut.” Let’s save coconut from defamation of character and NOT use products with sodium lauryl sulfate, etc.! (Hampton)

Dr. David H. Fine, the chemist who uncovered NDELA contamination in cosmetics, estimates that a person would be applying 50 to 100 micrograms of nitrosamine to the skin each time he or she used a nitrosamine-contaminated cosmetic. By comparison, a person consuming sodium nitrite-preserved bacon is exposed to less than 1 microgram of nitrosamine (Hampton).

Green, Dr. Keith –

Young Living’s Animal Scents Shampoo (and the human shampoos and products) do not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfates or other harmful ingredients and the essential oils are 100% pure.
