Triclosan

There is little chance that you haven't come into contact with triclosan -- while washing your hands, brushing your teeth or applying deodorant or face cream. Now that cold season is in full effect, the "antibacterial" soaps in which triclosan is often found may seem like a great idea. But triclosan is an endocrine disruptor, and exposure to endocrine disruptors can lead to early puberty, serious reproductive issues and breast cancer.

Buy Safe 'n Healthy Products to make sure you're products are natural, or check the Cosmetic's Database for the current product you're using.
