When youre buying soaps and body washes, do you reach for the bar or bottle labeled antibacterial? Are you thinking that these products, in addition to keeping you clean, will reduce your risk of getting sick or passing on germs to others? Antibacterial soap products contain chemical ingredients, such as triclosan and triclocarban, which may carry unnecessary risks given that their benefits are unproven. There are indications that certain ingredients in these soaps may contribute to bacterial resistance to antibiotics, and may have unanticipated hormonal effects that are of concern to FDA. fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm378393.htm
