Wash Wisely, No SLS

Don't you just love a great find!  Let me first tell you about some education I learned first. 

Recently, I learned there are some negative ingredients in a lot of shampoos, toothpastes, and other bubbly hygiene items.  One of those ingredients is SLS or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  To find out more about this ingredient you can click on the this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_lauryl_sulfate and upon doing further research, you will find SLS causes irritation among other negative affects.  So I began looking for shampoos and body washes that didn't contain SLS.  The prices were astronomical.  Why?  Because SLS is cheap to use and is an easy way to get rid of oil and grease so they use it in alot of things. 

Trader Joe's carries an SLS free set of 3 Shampoo, Conditioner, & Body Wash for the less than $3.00 a 16 oz. bottle.  The Face Wash is less than $5.00 for a 6 oz. bottle.  Now that's a bargain and SLS free!
