Dear Bill, I have read that the castor oil undergoes the same process that coconut oil undergoes to become sodium laurel sulfate. Have always been curious why SLS is not considered natural yet turkey red is? Perhaps Maurice or another chem whiz can shed a little more light on the how turkey red is made, and I'll add my piece and ask how is this similar to the process that coconut oil is put through to become SLS??
