Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) are surfactants commonly found in detergents, cleaning products, and cosmetic products. These substances are often used as foaming agents in cleaning products and personal care products. Their function is to dissolve substances such as oil and dirt, allowing them to mix better with water and thus increasing the cleaning effect.

However, especially for children's sensitive skin, the use of products containing SLS and SLES may cause some negative effects:
Skin Dryness: These ingredients can dissolve the skin's natural oils, which can lead to skin dryness and irritation. Such effects may be more pronounced in children because their skin barrier is more sensitive.
Eye Irritation: SLS and SLES can cause eye irritation when products come into contact with the eyes. Since children often come into contact with such products during bathing, eye contact is more likely.
Allergic Reactions: Some children may develop allergic reactions to SLS and SLES. These reactions may occur in the form of itching, redness and rashes.
Therefore, products specially formulated for children should be preferred. These products generally have lighter formulas and contain ingredients that are better suited to children's skin. The company should be aware of such potential harmful substances in the healthy medicines section and focus on providing safe products to customers.
