SLS is organic.

There's plenty of organic compounds that are toxic to humans (not saying that this one is or isn't) ...

  • SLS isn't that toxic, its just overly an effective surfactant that strips all the natural oils from your skin/cheeks. Its why your hands free dry when you wash dishes with dish soap. Also strong enough to remove crude oil from birds.

So is arsenic.

  • I didn't know that elemental Arsenic (As) was made of chains of elemental carbons (C)...

    The more you know??

    • Incorrect.

      Arsenic is an element. Elemental arsenic, as with elemental carbon, or hydrogen, or any other element, is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

      Its chemical properties are defined largely by its valence electrons, and atomic mass.

      There is no more carbon in arsenic than there is sound in light. They are different things.
