Most
commercially produced bars contain synthetic lathering agents, artificial
colors, and a slew of chemicals we can't even pronounce. Antibacterial and
antimicrobial soaps often contain triclosan. Triclosan is a toxic chemical that
is known to cause cancer (McCoy, 2009). According to the
National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides (NCAMP), manufacturers of a
number of triclosan-containing products claim that the active ingredient
continues to work for as long as 12 hours after use (McCoy, 2009). Chronic use of chemical
products will cause the body to store chemicals in the body fat or even in the
brain. Always remember that your skin is porous and absorbent. It absorbs
whatever it comes in contact with, much the same as sticking something in your
mouth. What did you use to clean your body today? Hopefully it will be PO Precious Ointment Natural Homemade Soap tomorrow and for the rest of your life,
because your health matters!
