Does sodium lauroyl sarcosinate cause cancer or have any negative side effects?
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate has the same initials as sodium lauryl sulfate, and the same risks.The answer is simple - it is cheap. The sodium lauryl sulfate found in our soaps is exactly the same as you would find in a car wash or even a garage, where it is used to degrease car engines.In the same way as it dissolves the grease on car engines, sodium lauryl sulfate also dissolves the oils on your skin, which can cause a drying effect. It is also well documented that it denatures skin proteins, which causes not only irritation, but also allows environmental contaminants easier access to the lower, sensitive layers of the skin.Perhaps most worryingly, SLS is also absorbed into the body from skin application. Once it has been absorbed, one of the main effects of sodium lauryl sulfate is to mimic the activity of the hormone Oestrogen. This has many health implications and may be responsible for a variety of health problems from PMS and Menopausal symptoms to dropping male fertilityand increasing female cancers such as breast cancer, where oestrogen levels are known to be involved.

SLS has a primary irritation index of over 5 means the test material is rated as a primary irritant, 2-5 means moderately irritating. Potentially, SLS is perhaps the most harmful ingredient in personal-care products. SLS is used in testing-labs as the standard skin irritant to compare the healing properties of other ingredients. Industrial uses of SLS include: garage floor cleaners, engine degreasers and car wash soaps. Studies show its danger potential to be great, when used in personal-care products. Research has shown that SLS and SLES may cause potentially carcinogenic nitrates and dioxins to form in the bottles of shampoos and cleansers by reacting with commonly used ingredients found in many products. Large amounts of nitrates may enter the blood system from just one shampooing. Sulphate (SLS) is a gold standard as an enhancer on transdermal absorption yet its used in Toothpastes and Mouthwash (unbelievably)

Does Colgate toothpaste contains sodium lauryl sulfate?
According to this pdf from Colgate-Palmolive Australia, it appears that the Colgate range of toothpastes (some if not all) contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). SLS is a mild detergent and foaming agent that produces the foam when you brush your teeth. It is generally believed to be safe to use although some studies have found that it can increase the frequency of oral ulcers (aphthous ulcer/canker sores) which are often mistaken for cold sores (herpes virus). These sores are quite common (15-30% of the population experience them) but unlike cold sores are not contagious. Their cause is unknown. However, some studies have also found no relationship between SLS and the frequency of apthous ulcers.
