12. Do you keep a lock on the cabinet where you keep your hand sanitizer??
The active ingredient in most “anti bacterial” products is Triclosan, or Triclocarban, it’s chemical cousin.
Triclosan is linked to heart disease, heart failure, interferes with muscle function and causes hormone disruption!! Studies have shown that Triclosan can interfere with thyroid and estrogen hormones, and may promote the progression of cancer cells.
Triclosan is an endocrine disruptor and has been shows to impact male and female reproductive hormones and possible fetal development. It is also shows to alter thyroid function. A recent study links triclosan to the growth of breast cancer cells.
Ya, no thanks! I cannot in good conscience allow my babies to use that stuff on their hands with side effects like that.
I DO love Young Living’s Thieves Hand Purifier though!! It uses the goodness of oils to clean our hands, instead of the nasty stuff. So when Cayden slathers it on his hands and then takes a huge whiff and says “MMMM I LOVE the way this stuff smells!!” I’m perfectly fine with that :D
We love their surface spray too – there is NO WAY I’m touching those poison wipes that the grocery store is thoughtful enough to put near the nasty shopping carts. I spray them down with my Thieves spray instead! Same with diaper changing stations, airplane seats, and TONS of other things.
