Sodium lauryl sulfate is more irritating than the laureth sulfate. But both can often be used as part of a formulation without necessarily being irritant. Depends on the individual (of course!) and the concentration, the pH, and other ingredients (which can make the irritation better or worse). Also whether the product is a rinse-off or leave-on type.
