Why are laureth sulfates used in making shampoo, soap and hand lotions?

I am allergic to sulfa of ANY kind! As a consumer I have to stand there and read the ingredients on all of my bathing products.





I have to spend 75% more on the products that DON'T use it in the products.





So far I have only found 1 name brand that does Not use Sulfa and that is J.A.S.O.N.





do any of you know of any more brands that do not contain Laural sulfates?Why are laureth sulfates used in making shampoo, soap and hand lotions?

Sodium lauryl sulphate is used to keep all the ingredients together (emulsifying).
