❌ 🆘 Antibacterial soaps may do more harm than good, scientists warn. ‼️
🙅♂Dr Arlene Blum, Executive Director of Green Science Policy Institute said: "I was happy that the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) finally acted to remove these chemicals from soaps.
🙎♂But I was dismayed to discover at my local drugstore that most products now contain substitutes that may be worse.
🙍♂"Antimicrobials are also commonplace in products where you wouldn't expect them, including paints, exercise mats, flooring, apparel, food storage containers, home textiles, electronics, kitchenware, school supplies, and countertops."
🤦♂The study by Rutgers University in New Jersey also found antibacterial soap was no better than normal soap.
📚 Do research on ingredients in your products as there is nothing more important than your health. ‼️
