I have visited a few websites recently of folks making and or selling "natural" products. They delight in telling you that their products are free of SLS, SLES, parabens, etc, and how we should be using all natural products, i.e. theirs.
Trouble is, many of my favourite products contain these. So, how bad are these ingredients really? A lot of shaving products contain parabens (Proraso), face wash/shampoo/shower gels contain SLES and/or SLS. I don't notice my skin being any drier than when using soap, in fact many times it feels less dry.
Is there any hard evidence that using these products will cause harm over the long term? Or is it just a clever sales tactic?

I used to buy shower gels, shampoos, shaving foams etc from the supermarkets and chemists which contained all these ingredients. As a result I suffered from dry, tight and flaky skin. I decided enough was enough and went down the natural route. All of these problems have cleared up and my skin is thanking me for it.
I couldn't possibly comment on individual ingredients but all I can say is that after using natural products I have seen a dramatic improvement in my skin.
Even if I had no problems to start with I probably would have found myself going for natural products as I find them to be much better quality and can smell fantastic (Burt's Bees men's bodywash is one of my favourites!)
