Findings
SLS causes skin swelling differently than typical allergens or irritants—it triggers more skin cell growth but less immune system activation. About 20% of people react to SLS in patch tests, and this new research shows those reactions involve both your innate and adaptive immune systems, but not in the classic ways scientists expected.
