An expert spoke about the harm that comes from antibacterial soap.
A comment on this topic was shared by candidate of chemical sciences Alexey Panov.
Regular use of antibacterial soap can be harmful to health, an expert told Lenta.ru .
This popular hygiene product is based on two components: triclosan and triclocarban.
They effectively act on pathogenic bacteria. But the problem is that such soap kills not only harmful microorganisms.
Beneficial bacteria, which are an important part of the human microflora, also die.
This can cause the development of eczema, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis.
In addition, scientists have conducted studies that have shown that triclosan affects testosterone levels and thyroid function.
Triclosan can negatively affect hormonal balance, Panov emphasized.
Regular use of antibacterial soap can lead to such consequences, the chemist warned.
