SLS PRESTONE SHAMPOO? The main ingredient in that antifreeze you put in your car radiator is propyelene glycol. It is also one of the ingredients in many mass marketed shampoos (read the labels). Also, usually one of the first ingredients listed on most shampoos is Sodium laureth sulfate (also sodium lauryl sulfate) or SLS, which is routinely used in clinical studies to irritate skin tissue) and is a harsh (caustic) detergent used in concrete floor cleaners, engine degreasers, and car wash detergents, SLS is a favorite ingredient of most toothpaste manufacturers (it creates great suds in your mouth). Problem: SLS has been found to induce mutations in bacteria and it is capable of changing the information in genetic material found in cells. (Higughi, Arayaand Higughi; School of Medicine, Tohoku University; Sendai 980, Japan). SLS also maintains residual levels in the brain, heart, liver, and lungs from skin contact. (Journal of the American College of Toxicology; V. 2, No. 7.) Propylene glycol also is shown to be absorbed through the skin with studies showing systemic retention throughout the body.
