No sodium laurel etc. but I don't > know what ingredient makes it " soap " . http://www.avalonorganics.com/?id=88 & pid=23 It uses several surfactants that are similar to SLS, sodium cocoyl sulfate being the first one listed in the ingredients. http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/curly-q-a/curlchemist-surfactants-sulf\ ates-and-you " Sodium coco or cocoyl sulfate is sometimes seen on the labels of products wishing to market themselves as natural, gentle and luxurious. It is touted for being derived from coconut oil, which is true. It is typically a combination of sodium lauryl sulfate (usually around 50%) and sodium myristyl and palmityl sulfate (longer chain hydrocarbon tails). Although this is derived from coconut oil, it goes through a rigorous chemical reaction and purification process, and the result is a surfactant mixture that performs in the same manner as the ones derived from petrochemical feedstock sources.

I tried an Aubrey Organics shampoo back in the 1980s, and it was the most violently irritating personal care product I have ever used. No matter how tightly I kept my eyes shut, the stuff would burn my eyes and leave them solid bloodshot red. On top of that, it left my hair feeling like straw. I'm actually a regular user of several Aubrey Organics products, but an Aubrey Organics shampoo will never again touch my body for as long as I live.
