Same here. I used to get terrible rashes on the back of my neck that needed increasingly stronger steroid creams to deal with. Then I found out about SLS from a BBC clip about it. It’s an incredibly drying chemical and it’s only purpose is to increase foaminess in shampoos. Because shampoo would go down the back of my neck when I rinsed it off, the SLS was causing my skin to dry and crack leading to rashes.
I’ve stopped using any cleaning products with SLS and the issue has never returned.
The part that annoys me is that SLS doesn’t really aid in cleaning. They just add it to soaps and shampoos because foam plays to the notion of cleaning. It’s a marketing thing.
