The SLS in this formula is the surfactant.  The clove oil and citric acid are potent – I’d use care and safety glasses, or at least eyeglasses.  Actually, I do use care and classes with this, and wash any off right away with a thin baking soda paste. 

The stuff has worked really well for me, and I’d much rather use it than the chemically manufactured herbicides.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a common ingredient in shampoo, isn't it?  My guess is that is you use it as a weed killer, your exposure to the stuff is much lower than if you use it in shampoo.   Frankly, I'd be more worried about your exposure to the clove oil.  Clove is pretty potent stuff.

 

Happy Thanksgiving,

I visited the suggested web site and found the active ingredients to be: clove oil, citric acid and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. I googled Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and came up with this web site: http://www.healthy-communications.com/slsmostdangerousirritant.html  It paints a different picture.

I read this in a newsletter I get.

The weed and grass killer was called Burn Out, and the ingredients were simple: Clove oil, vinegar and lemon juice. And Burn Out did indeed pass the test. The weeds between the cracks were killed and have remained away. It does seem as though clove oil works! We're already telling everyone we know about this find.

So I went to the web site http://www.planetnatural.com/site/burnout-weed-killer.html  to see what it said. Price was OK. It reads as if it works as well as the bad stuff. Has anyone tried this product?
