Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Both Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and its close relative Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) are commonly used in many soaps, shampoos, detergents, toothpastes and other products that we expect to "foam up". Both chemicals are very effective foaming agents, chemically known as surfactants.

Many websites, webarticles and reports list this article as a source. It should also be noted that this article is compilation, and conclusion from other reports; not all from JACT. It would be nice to have the original, but this will have to do till then.
ABSTRACT: Final report on the safety assessment of sodium lauryl sulfate and ammonium lauryl sulfate
From TOXNET Database:

That said, this webpage purports to be a copy of the original. But when compared to the former abstract it seems to be highly edited.
