LightShox Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I find it very alarming that some of your products contain sulfates that have been scientifically proven to irritate facial skin with continued use (especially if these products are meant to be used consistently). Can someone help me understand why your products contain these things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAVI Support Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Only three of our products currently include sodium lauryl sulfate: Complex P, DermaWash, and the Sulfur Shampoo. We use only trace amounts of the ingredient as required to give these products their unique physical characteristics. The percentages that we use (0.75% in the Complex P, 1.5% in the DermaWash, and 1.25% in the Sulfur Shampoo) are significantly less than percentages found in major-brand skin care products (some in excess of 5%). There are lateral alternatives, such as ammonium laureth sulfate, that we do in fact use in some of our other cleansers, however neither poses a risk to skin in the concentrations we use them. If they did, they wouldn't be ingredients in our products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
