News Alert For Antibacterial Soap Lovers . . .
Good news, bad news for Bath and Body antibacterial soap lovers. I was addicted to the soap buying 6-8 bottles at a time when they were on sale. Every sink in my house had one of the lovely fragrances. This was until I heard the report about it’s main ingredient Triclosan. It seems that there may be a link to cancer with the use of this ingredient. I did some research and while reports are conflicted I have chosen to give up using the soap. The good news is that Bath and Body will give you credit if you choose to return the soap, even bottles that were partially used! They now make a new formula of hand soap without this ingredient as well as lovely new fragrances. So of course I am stocked full and every sink has a new bottle and smell!

Wow! I had never heard of that! I, like you, love some good Bath & Body soaps. The bottle we currently have in our bathroom is nearing its end and just yesterday I found myself wondering when I could hit up my favorite store again. My husband tells me that one of "love languages" is shopping in Bath & Body Works together. =) Do the new soaps without Triclosan clearly display on their bottle that they don't include the carcinogen?
ReplyDeleteLaura the new soap are not antibacterial just soap. And yes it is advertised as "new formula" . . . have fun returning and shopping!
DeleteI had not heard this. Thanks for the info. I think I have some in my cabinet as well as by my sinks. I love Bath & Body and that it always one stop that I make when we are up your way. Guess I'll have to bring my stock and restock!
