Better Life’s products are free from sodium lauryl sulfate

Cleaning firm Better Life has announced that its products are sodium lauryl sulphate-free.

The company stated that it maintains transparency about the ingredients used in its product range.

As part of its transparency drive, it has listed ingredients of all its products on its website.

Better Life lead formulation chemist and co-founder Kevin Tibbs said: "Over the years, we have put tremendous efforts toward developing the safest, most effective line of natural cleaning products.

"As a chemist and a parent, I know firsthand the importance of using safe products around my children and pets, which is why I worked hard to eliminate specific ingredients I did not want around them including alcohols, synthetic fragrances, dyes and ethoxylated surfactants."

The company stated that its products including surface sprays, laundry detergents and hand soaps are free from SLS and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES).

Sodium laureth sulfate is an anionic detergent and surfactant commonly used in products such as soaps, shampoos, toothpaste.

It is inexpensive and effective foaming agent.

Studies have shown that SLES could cause eye or skin irritation.

SLS is also an anionic surfactant used in cleaning and personal care products. It can cause skin irritation.
