#23 Antibacterial Dial Liquid Hand Soap in Spring Water
This Dial product contains anything but spring water, we’re afraid. There is, however, plenty of the aforementioned carcinogen and allergen BHT, Triclocarban (which brings a triple threat of hormone imbalances: infertility, thyroid issues and muscle movement troubles). Triclocarban was recently condemned by more than 200 scientists with the release of the Florence Statement on Triclosan and Triclocarban. Triclocarban can easily turn into chloroanilines, which are chemicals linked to the formation of cancer in the human body.
#22 Yardley Liquid Hand Soap in Oatmeal & Almond
You might be seeing a trend in natural-themed hand soaps, with this “Oatmeal & Almond” Yardley special featuring DMDM Hydantoin (perhaps a carcinogen), Triclosan (endocrine destabilizer linked to thyroid and fertility issues, Lauramide DEA (a potential carcinogen) and Fragrance. What exactly is so bad about Fragrance? As it turns out, an extensive list’s worth of problems. Fragrance can trigger asthma attacks, disrupt hormones, worsen allergic reactions, and even act as neurotoxins in some of the more harmful cases.
