Originally SLS was derived from coconut oil but the coconut oil is so processed you could never call it natural. It undergoes several chemical changes to become a detergent. Most SLS today though isn't derived from coconut oil, it synthetically made using the Ziegler process & has nothing to do with coconuts whatsoever.

My reply was in reply to a post about Lush. According to Lush's corporate office they use SLS from coconut but are in the process of removing it from products that have it.

Anyway wasn't trying to disput what you said, just wanted to point out what I said above, just in case anyone thinks that SLS is ok because it is "coconut derived". Any ingredient that says it is naturally derived or derived from a natural product is a chemical pure & simple, the "derived" rubbish is just propoganda.
