Have you ever considered what's lurking inside your toothpaste tube? This week, we peel back the label on oral care products to uncover the truth about sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and its role as a surfactant in your daily brushing routine. It's more than just froth and bubbles; we're talking about the balance of your oral microbiome and the potential for SLS to disrupt it. From the historic use of these chemicals in our toothpaste to their classification as minimum risk pesticides, we question the necessity of such harsh ingredients in light of emerging research highlighting the importance of a healthy mouth flora.
