Name Ingredients:
Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) is an anionic surfactant commonly used in hair care products, which helps to cleanse the hair and skin by attracting and removing natural oils and dirt.
Key insights:
- Unlike SLS, SLES is considered to be milder on the skin and scalp, as it is less likely to cause irritation or strip the skin of excess moisture.
- While there is no direct evidence that SLES can cause hair loss, individuals concerned about hair health may consider using hair care products free from SLES and other potentially irritating chemicals.
