If you’re using antibacterial soaps to prevent dry skin, think again. They contain an active ingredient called triclosan. Triclosan is found in numerous other products, like detergents, lotions, and creams. Triclosan is a classified health risk, suspected of causing cancer, and listed as a toxic pesticide. Sure, it can kill bacteria, but it does more than just that and kills good bacteria as well.
Regular soap and water is just as good as antibacterial soaps, according to some studies. And you’ll avoid absorbing a pesticide.
