There is some evidence that triclosan, and ingredient in antibacterial liquid soaps, might be an endocrine disrupter. But a regular bars of soap don't contain triclosan, so you can soap up if you want.


It has nothing to do with triclosan. Simple, non-toxic soaps like ivory or palmolive will still interfere with the many endocrine functions of the skin. Frequent use of lotions will do the same.
