Triclosan - a dangerous compound in many products

Well, this compound, Triclosan really is the pits if you like to be healthy.

It's making its way into such a vast range of products too. All manner of personal care products - due to its "antiseptic" capabilities. Yep, that means toothpaste, soap, and lots of other stuff. It's now in lots of socks, pillows - anywhere the product owner thinks it would be a good marketing ploy to have an anti-bacterial agent in their product.

So, be an educated consumer - check out what you are getting before you purchase ("caveat emptor" = buyer beware) 'cos if a chemical is approved for use noone else will look out for your wellbeing. (Remember- passive smoking and asbestos?!) Unfortunately, it won't always be obvious that Triclosan or another unwanted compound is in the item/s you are buying.

At Between Father Sky and Mother Earth, we don't sell anything with Triclosan. We vet our products as well as we possibly can before deciding to include them for sale. AND we are very particular about what we will sell. We value our own health and those of everyone else.

Peace to all
