      Yes SLS is your industrial surfactant. But it’s just an alcohol molecule I think, hard on skin when used to excess but not inherently bad.

      But even that, I think it’s only tangential to my concept though. While the body wash can contain ingredients X, Y, or Z my point was I feel like we likely need 1/50th the amount of bodily cleansing vs the expected norms. I don’t think we need to wash most of our bodies outside of our dick and pits, really. Hands obviously for sanitation reasons, the rest largely pointless and actively harmful in my worldview. Even your asshole has its own specialized lubricants that you’re really not supposed to industrially strip out of there. Sorry to be graphic lol
