You say "the chemicals are the same in the fact that one is prepared from
the other". Sodium dodecyl sulfate (this is a synonymous term to SLS, I'll
refer to SLES as SLES for clarity) is a different chemical from SLES. This
is a simple fact. You'll probably know that sodiumchloride is made from two
extremely toxic chemicals, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl2). However, the fact
that these two chemicals combine to form NaCl changes its properties
dramatically. So, even if SDS and SLES are made from eachother, which I
actually doubt, it tells you nothing about the properties of the resulting
compound.
