U.S. bans antibacterial soap!

This is amazing news that happened a few days ago. Unfortunately Canada is not following suit yet, hopefully soon!

The FDA ordered all products containing antibacterial ingredients, such as triclosan and triclobarca  be removed from shelves within 1 year. Roughly 40% of soaps contain these harmful ingredients.

Studies proved that they are no more effective than regular soaps!  The Environmental Working Group hailed the bans as progress.

"EWG has been conducting research and advocating for this exact federal government action for nearly a decade, and our work, as well as that of other public interest groups and many of our supporters, has finally paid off."

In recent years the cosmetics and cleaning sectors have largely replaced triclosan in hand soaps, although it is still found in some acne products, body washes and Colgate Total toothpaste.

These chemicals are known to be associated with endocrine (hormonal) toxicity.
