Hello, I have just learned that Sodium Lauryl Sulphate found in toothpastes can be a major cause of breakouts. Has anyone here experienced breakouts due to chemicals like SLS? I am so concerned I have been using this toothpaste for years. I plan to immediately replace it with a organic product.
I have already eliminated gluten, dairy, sugar, heat inducing foods(mangoes, papayas, chicken) from my diet. I have recently started taking Spinach juice as it contains magnesium. I have stopped using chemical products on my skin and hair. I only apply honey mask every alternate day and use turmeric sometimes for spot treatment.I use shikakai and Ritha( Soapnuts) to wash my hair. But still experiencing breakouts.
I will stop using the SLS toothpaste from today.
Will update soon.

I noticed when i removed SLS toothpaste, and found cleanser and moisturizer free of SLS it REALLY helped my skin when nothing else helped. Even if it doesn't end up helping you, its better for you in the long run anyways so its worth a try!
