Okay, I admit one of my favorite products (that I usually get at the Dollar store) is Softsoap* crisp cucumber & melon. It smells so good that I often sniff my hands multiple times after washing. And I am so sorry I did as it rates a TEN (10) on the ThinkDirtyApp** scale.
TRICLOSAN & DMDM HYDANTOIN are the culprits. The first is an antibacterial and antifungal agent that is toxic to reproduction. Other health impacts are infertility, impaired muscle function, allergies, potential antibiotic resistance and altered thyroid hormone receptor!
The DMDM HYDANTOIN is a Formaldehyde releasing agent which may trigger Eczema and is a known Carcinogen. Yikes!

So I was thinking the Trader Joe's Fresh Linen scented hand soap that I paid more for and use in the kitchen (and also smells absolutely delicious) would rate much better since it says it is using plant oils like Rosemary. But I was wrong, it's a NINE (9) due to PHENOXYETHANOL and the fragrance they use. It has the highest warnings for developmental and reproductive toxicity, can depress the central nervous system and may cause vomiting and diarrhea in infants. Geez!
So, two more favorites, going in the trash! So thankful we switched to Thieves hand soap made with essential oils this year. It has natural antibacterial properties and smells good enough to eat!
