Oral care products detergents

Herlofson and Barkpoll, in an experimental toothpaste study involving twenty eight subjects, determined that sodium lauryl sulfate significantly increased the incidence of desquamation of oral mucosa when compared with cocamidopropyl betaine. Less toxic detergents, such as cocamidopropyl betaine, were therefore found to be desirable in oral care products (113). 

Allantoin relieves the skin irritation caused by soaps and detergents, acids, and alkalies in oral- and skin-care products.
