#25 Bath & Body Works Sea Island Cotton Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Liquid Hand Soap
Our repeat offender, Bath & Body Works, further drags its brand trustworthiness through the dirt with this Triethylene Glycol, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Methylisothiazolinone, and Fragrance packed poison. Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, or ALS, is often confused with sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). In contrast to SLS, ALS has a more complex molecular structure, meaning that it will not make it past our upper skin layers as efficiently as SLS. Despite ALS being less harmful than SLS, it is still best avoided.
#24 Bath & Body Works White Citrus Deep Cleansing Hand Soap
Get a load of this “White Citrus” flavored venom, filled with Parfum, Fragrance, and BHT, which is suspected of being a carcinogen as well as an allergen. BHT, or butylated hydroxytoluene, can be found in hand soaps, moisturizers, and beauty products, as well as in food products in the form of preservatives. Some of the most worrying results in BHT-related research showed the inhibition of male sex hormones, potentially leading to issues in the human reproductive system.
