Formulation and development of SLS free toothpaste.

Abstract

The focus of the research is to formulate and develop the SLS free toothpaste to reduce the adverse effects caused by the SLS. It is observed that this surfactant is" Moderate Hazard" that has been linked to Cancer, neurotoxicity, Skin irritation, Organ toxicity, endocrine disruption and can cause harm if taken in excess. In this work we have revealed the Natural Surfactants which can be helpful in replacement of SLS in toothpastes. 2 naturally occurring surfactants Liquorice and Hingot Fruit are used in desired combination to produce the foam in toothpastes. The foam produced is concrete foam and by using this natural saponins we can reduce the toxicity related to SLS. This work is also comprised of the extraction process of these natural surfactants along with evaluation parameters.
