So reading off the list of ingrediantes on shampoo / washing up liquid / toothpaste , it's in most household personal cleaning products. - So the question if they all have same ingredients what is the difference between all the shampoos etc. apart form the "Marketing ingrediants" like perfum / colour / thickners / foaming agents ?

There was a study done not too long ago by a dental research group, maybe they were in Sweden or Denmark, and they imply that sodium lauryl sulphate may contribute to the formation of mouth ulcers, especially among a population that is already liable to the ulcers. Many toothpastes have the foaming agent/detergent as part of their formulation, although one that doesn't have it is "Zendium" made by Oral-B.
