Eliminate antibacterials from your home and life

Filed in: Products & Services, Shopping

Antibacterials, especially those containing triclosan, can have negative effects on your health and the surrounding environment. Antibacterials have been identified by Cosmetics Database as cancer causing, an irritant, an endocrine disruptor, having developmental and/or reproductive toxicity and as a substance which bioaccumulates in the environment and animal tissues.

To protect yourself and your family, use regular soap products such as Dr. Bronners castile soap. It is also recommended that you avoid soaps with artificial fragrance added as well.
