Hello gorgeous! I think this may be of help to you-so today I deviate from the normal beauty and style talk to a public service announcement on the dangers of triclosan. There is an alternative for a hand sanitizer and cleaning products, consider Clean Well! Visit www.cleanwelltoday.com to learn more-now enjoy the PSA.

When was the last time you looked at the ingredients of your hand soap, toothpaste or shaving cream? You may not realize that one particular ingredient in many personal care products is doing more harm than good: Triclosan. Can you take action to ban this dangerous substance?

Triclosan, an "antibacterial" agent, has increasingly shown up in personal care and home cleaning products. New and emerging science increasingly supports the need for an immediate ban on triclosan because of numerous threats to human and environmental health.

Like Bisphenol-A (BPA), triclosan is a hormone disruptor that has been shown to alter male and female sex hormones in animal studies, which could lead to problems like early onset puberty, reduced fertility and cancer.

Last year, with your help, we submitted thousands of petition signatures urging a ban on triclosan. The petition gained so much attention that the EPA has published it for public comment. We have until February 7th to let the EPA know that you want triclosan to be banned to protect public health and the environment.
