So I ordered some fancy little cookie decorations from a |
|
reputable company; snowflakes, lightbulbs penguins etc. and the ingredient list includes sodium laurel sulfate.
:wtf:
Isn't that stuff in shampoo?
:(

I hate buying stuff on-line and then finding out it's got weird shit in it! I noticed some sites are now allowing you to see a list of ingredients.

They use paraffin in chocolate to increase the melting temperature in some candies.
The colon gets rid of any non poisonous inedibles.

5. I guess my first thought was to wonder if they'd taste like soap. |

And I wouldn't want to eat it. It's one of the big environmental offenders in shampoo and why I stopped using it.
Sorry, hedgehog.

8. I always heard that when it's used in shampoo, it's very harsh on the hair. |
|
Never heard that it's hard on the environment, too.
What's really a hoot - you can check most brands of shampoo from the cheapest to the most expensive, and you'll find this and water as the main ingredients. I had to hike over to the organic foods section to find a shampoo without it.

9. I just wet my hair and |
|
use conditioner. I do buy a milder, more natural conditioner. No shampoo. If I do get the urge to use shampoo, I have an all natural goats milk shampoo bar from one of the producers in our coop.
