Hi Spriggy,
Not sure, but here is a site with links. It looks like something that can cause skin irritation or allergy.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-01,GGLD:en&oi=defmore&q=define:sodium+lauryl+sulfateThis one gives info about ingredients
(Sodium Cetyl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate) Surfactant, detergent, emulsifier. Found in shampoos, creams, lotions, bath products, and dentifrices. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a combination of lauryl alcohol and mineral sodium sulfate followed by neutralisation with sodium carbonate. Grease-cutting ability may produce dry skin. Generally non-toxic when used externally. Sodium Sulfate is mined around turquoise and has the appearance of limestone. Lauryl Alcohol is derived from coconut oil.
