Use natural and organic soaps - They leave you feeling and smelling fabulous, and will NOT leave your skin full of toxic invaders!
Most conventional bar soaps can contain perfumes, synthetic FD&C dyes, mineral oil and other petroleum-based chemicals that can clog pores, irritate and dry your skin.
They also may include harmful ingredients such as antibacterial chemicals, ammonia, formaldehyde, propylene glycol (a neurotoxin, known to cause contact dermatitis, kidney damage and liver abnormalities), phenol, BHA/BHT and hormone disrupting parabens.
Advertising implies that using anti-bacterial cleansers will help protect your family against colds and flus. But colds and flus are viruses, and anti-bacterials have no effect on them at all. In fact, anti-bacterial soaps and cleaners are an unhealthy choice for several reasons:
-
In addition to being unnecessary, they expose us to harmful chemicals. The two most commonly used anti-bacterial chemicals are triclosan (a suspected immunotoxicant, suspected skin or sense organ toxicant, and creates dioxin (a carcinogen) as a by-product) and chloroxylenol - or PCMX (a suspected immunotoxicant and skin or sense organ toxicant, as well as a gastrointestinal or liver toxicant).
-
Anti-bacterial soaps and cleaners kill both beneficial and harmful bacteria. By killing the beneficial ones, they actually leave us more vulnerable to the harmful ones we encounter. Children especially need exposure to some germs, to develop their immune systems.
-
Scientists are concerned that the widespread use of anti-bacterials contributes to the development of resistant bacteria which will need stronger doses of chemicals to eliminate. So when we need to kill harmful bacteria, like strep, staph and e-coli, it will be more difficult.
-
Anti-bacterial soaps may be more irritating and drying to skin.
The US Center for Disease Control says that anti-bacterial soaps are not necessary. They recommend that the simplest and most effective thing people can do to reduce the spread of infectious disease is to use effective hand washing, especially after using the bathroom and before preparing or eating food. Proper hand washing means rubbing hands under running water for at least 15 seconds.
