In reply to Zun Pwint. Zun, go with ALES. It's gentler.

Hi GIO,
Can you please advise, which will be better for making shampoo ALS or ALES.
Thank you in advance.

In reply to Confidence. Hi Confidence, it really does depend on the formula, the concentration used and what's else is in it. Ammonium laureate sulphate is considered gentle and safe but I'd ditch the scrub. Apricot kernels are the worst method of exfoliation you can use because they have irregular edges that can tear and hurt skin. Adding Sodium Lauryl Sulphate just makes things worse.

Hi Gio
I found Ammonium laureth sulfate in my body lotion. Is it safe? Because have been reading it’s a foaming agent,so how come its in creams and lotions. Then in my apricot scrub,I found sodium lauryl sulphate but it doesn’t foam. Do u have any explanation for me? Thank you.

In reply to Georgi. Georgi, I hear ya! I have oily hair too and sulphate-free shampoos don't work for me either. I avoid the harshest sulphates like sodium lauryl sulphate but still use the gentlest ones like sodium laureth sulphate. I also like cocamidopropyl betaine.
