Here\u2019s what\u2019s NOT in our natural soaps and they shouldn\u2019t be in the soaps you put on your skin:<\/strong><\/p>

1,4 Dioxane- 1,4 Dioxane is a contaminant found in most cosmetics and products meant for personal care. It has a high hazard rating of 8 in EWG\u2019s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database. Not only that, but it’s one of the chemicals featured in California\u2019s Proposition 65 List of Carcinogens.<\/p>

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is Also known as Sodium Laureth Sulfate, but not to be confused with the gentle Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate.

Triclosan- Triclosan is a pesticide with antibacterial and antifungal properties, containing a high hazard rating of 7 in EWG\u2019s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database. Studies show that Triclosan in low doses can impact thyroid hormone concentrations, disrupting the endocrine system.<\/p>

Parabens -Parabens are preservatives commonly used in bars of soap. According to the FDA, \u201cthe most common parabens used in cosmetic products are methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben.\u201d Parabens have a tendency to mimic hormones, which can be found to disrupt the function of hormones naturally found in your body<\/p>

Ureas – Ureas like Diazolidinyl Urea is known to release the chemical formaldehyde. Formaldehyde, with a high hazard rating of 10, is a known human carcinogen, human respiratory toxicant, skin irritant, and environmental toxin.

Sodium Tallowate; comes from the fatty deposits of animals (sorry vegans)<\/p>

Cocamidopropyl Betaine; is one of the “gentler” synthetics but may cause allergic reactions<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
