SAY NO TO ANTIBACTERIAL Turns out that the benefits of using antibacterial hand soap haven't been proven and widespread use of antibacterial soaps even has negative consequences for our health, including contributing to bacterial resistance. Some research shows that this resistance may have a significant impact on the effectiveness of medical treatments, such as antibiotics. And that doesn't even account for the chemicals and endocrine system disruptors from fragrances and more….

In fact, when it comes to our skin, we actually want some beneficial bacteria there. The same way that we want a healthy mix of bacteria to inhabit the gut, we want to keep the bacteria that normally populate the skin as well. It is a crucial piece to overall health!! Without this your immune system would not be able to properly protect you from infection and disease and your skin would be susceptible to a variety of skin ailments. Washing away all that goodness with antibacterial soaps is actually counterproductive to our health!
