*Some argue that sodium lauryl sulfate is not a risk as much from a large, brief exposure (such as in laboratory experiments) but rather a small but continued exposure.<ref>http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/13/sodium-lauryl-sulfate.aspx</ref>  Problems cause by this kind of risk are hard to track down, and even harder to test in a laboratory.

*While many people are not concerned about this chemical on the grounds that they are exposed to very little of it, the average dosage is actually surprisingly high.  It is easily absorbed through the skin, which is where most of this product is placed.  This along with the variety of other chemicals adds up to an shocking amount of absorption.  For example, those who use conventional cosmetics on a daily basis, can absorb almost five pounds of chemicals and toxins into their bodies each year!<ref name="mercola.com">http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/13/sodium-lauryl-sulfate.aspx</ref>

The concern is that as a surficant, SLS builds bridges between fat and water soluable areas.  This property of SLS may be disruptive of living cell membranes.<ref name="slsfree"/>  The degree to which the human body can eliminate SLS has not been extensively studied, and SLS can be detected in a person five days after an exposure.<ref name="slsfree"/>
