Antibacterial Soap

I wanted to write this blog because I recently became aware of the dangers of antibacterial soap, and I wanted to pass this information along.
Until Recently, antibacterial soap was an "essential" that I kept in my kitchen and my bathrooms and encouraged my children to use frequently.
I have thrown it all out and replaced it with CHEMICAL FREE soap.

Here's why:

* ANTIBACTERIAL SOAPS ARE LOADED WITH CHEMICALS THAT ARE HARMFUL.

There is no other point I can really make, other than to back up the point I am trying to make.

There is one common ingredient that I found in all the antibacterial soaps in my house. TRICLOSAN.

I have been using SOFT SOAP antibacterial soap and DIAL...but there are many well known brand names that contain this ingredient as well as other toxins.

Triclosan is a TOXIC PESTICIDE that is labelled and marketed as an antibacterial agent, and it is harmful to our kids and harmful to the environment.

All you need to do is research what TRICLOSAN is...and make an informed decision.

When you are buying soap for your children or home..read the labels...If you see the words "antibacterial" "germ killing" "triclosan" then find an ALTERNATIVE.

Here are my suggestions on really good alternatives for pure chemical free soap.

TRY:
Products from this site.
www.soapnuts.ca

OR: go to your local health food store and ask for chemical free pure soap alternatives.

PLEASE REMEMBER:

The whole purpose of "soap" is to get rid of dirt, oil, bacteria etc....
Using a Pure natural Soap without any harmful chemicals will definitely do the same job. Natural soaps will adhere to your skin and remove dirt etc...and be washed down the drain...

Show your kids proper hand washing techniques.

Keep in mind that..."A little bit of dirt never hurt anybody!"
