There have been myths making way around the Internet that SLS causes cancer. At some level that is probably true. It's also probably true that if you poke yourself in the eye everyday, after 20-30 years the affected area will become cancerous. Other than that, the rumour is nothing more than that. SLS is a surfactant. Its purpose in shampoo is to act as a cleaning agent & to create bubbles. It is one of the gentlest chemicals in today's market and expensive too. It is infinitely safer than Ammonium Laurel Sulfate, the most common surfactant, which is used primarily by grocery store level shampoos because it's cheap and creates more than a gallon of bubbles.
