In case you don’t know, many hand soaps, toothpastes, body bars, etc. that say “antibacterial” are made with triclosan, a powerful bacteria killing chemical (actually registered as a pesticide with the  EPA).

Triclosan can cause drug resistant bacteria, kill wildlife and is being investigated for serious health risks after continuous long term use (such as washing your hands and brushing your teeth with triclosan-containing products every day).

Foaming Soap without Triclosan

CleanWell Foaming Hand Soap 

These CleanWell foaming soaps come in a variety of scents created by botanicals, such as Spearmint Lime or Orange Vanilla. The non-harsh soaps won’t dry out your hands. But they’re tough on killing germs.

You might have heard about Branch Basics, one of the best and most effective green cleaning concentrates there is. Powered by plants and minerals, this one concentrate can do a LOT of things in your home. Including an excellent hand soap.

Liquid Soap without Triclosan

Seventh Generation

I’ve been a big fan of Seventh Generation for well over a decade. And their products don’t disappoint.

We’ve recently tried a few varieties of Seventh Generation liquid hand soap. I prefer the free and clean fragrance free soap. However, the Hibiscus and Cardamom scent was very light and not overpowering at all.

    Triclosan has stolen everything from me: my peace, my freedom, My marriage, my health, my job. I have developed Contact Dermatitis, Hormone Imbalance, Chronic Destress, Blood related illness and the intensity Keratosis symptoms all because my exposure to Triclosan. It’s very Unfair not to be aware of its side effects and prevention from the authorities.
