Is Cetaphil safe?

Recently a friend of mine asking me on the opinion of using Cetaphil. It was in fact recommendation from her PD to solve her gal's skin rashes problem.

So I just pop into Watson to check on the ingredients.

I saw a big red sticker on top, apparently it is No.1 Dermatological Skin Care brand in SG, not too surprise to me as it is commonly recommended by PD or skin doctor.

However after i zoom into the ingredients, to my surprise one of the ingredients is SLS. 

What is SLS? Why it shouldn't exist in any skin care products?

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a surfactant. A surfactant is a chemical that stabilizes mixtures of oil and water by reducing the surface tension at the interface between the oil and water molecules. Because water and oil do not dissolve in each other a surfactant has to be added to the mixture to keep it from separating into layers. Surfactants provide one or more of six functions: 

- Detergents - for cleansing 
- Wetting agents - in perms 
- Foaming agents - for shampoos 
- Emulsifiers - in creams and lotions 
- Conditioning agents - in skin and hair-care products 
- Solubilizers - for perfumes and flavors  

SLS has some toxicity. However, it is the most widely used surfactant in the industry and is approved for use by all regulatory agencies.  It's even approved for use in baby products.

Hence it is important to be a wise consumer not only in choosing food, but also our skin care products.

Be a wise consumer not only in choosing food, but on our personal care toiletries too.

Because toxic cancer causing (carcinogenic) chemicals is everywhere - from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the personal care toiletries we use on our hair, skin, and in our mouth. They may be contributing to the spiralling rate of cancer and metabolic disease whilst speeding up aging process too.
