Is it allowed to take Sodium lauryl sulfate during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Tensioactivo aniónico derivado del aceite de coco o de almendra de palma. Se utiliza como emulsionante de grasa, agente humectante y detergente en cosméticos, productos farmacéuticos y pastas de dientes (Drugbank.com)Se utiliza por vía rectal en enemas laxantes por sus propiedades surfactanates y lubricantes. A fecha de última actualización no encontramos datos publicados sobre su excreción en leche materna. Dada la pequeña cantidad y la vía de administración, la absorción sistémica es prácticamente nula (AEMPS 2013), por lo que no se espera excreción significativa en leche materna.

    This is in most toothpastes that I have used and by trial and error found it is this that caused very severe ulceration of the mouth. Not one ulcer on the tongue but multi ulcers on tongue, cheek and lips. I now use only toothpaste that do not contain SLS and have been free of mouth ulcers since. Sadly, there is only a few brands that are SLS free.
