Antibacterial Soaps And Why You Should Avoid Them
Keeping your hands clean is one of the best ways to curb the spread of bacterial infections. With the flu season around it is very important to remind your little ones to wash those hands many times throughout the day. When choosing a soap for your family stay away from soaps that are labeled as Antibacterial as it offers no benefits and can potentially cause harm. Antibacterial soap does kill bacteria and microbes — but so does plain soap and water.
So why skip out? The main reason to avoid antibacterial soaps is its active ingredient Triclosan. Triclosan is an antibacterial chemical that is found in many products such as deodorants, toothpastes, mouth washes, toys, mattresses, diaper creams, etc; and is most omnipresent in liquid hand soap. The chemical Triclosan has been found in mothers breast milk posing risks to the developing fetus and growing child. Triclosan contributes to liver toxemia, thyroid imbalance and is considered to be highly toxic to our environment posing risks to our wildlife.
With that all said, who would want to purchase an ineffective and potentially harmful soap? Choose a safer option, buy soap that is free of Triclosan and Triclocarbon.
