non-toxic – Through the Lens of Kenz

Sulfates (1-2): While sulfates do not have a high EWG score, they are known to strip the skin of its natural oils and increase penetration of the skins surface (something that can be very dangerous if other ingredients in the body wash are harmful/toxic)
Parabens (4-8): Parabens are hormone disruptors that mimic estrogen. This can lead to issues of decreasing muscle mass, increasing fat deposits, reproductive issues in men or women, and early onset puberty.
Triclosan (4-7): Most commonly found in antibacterials soaps, triclosan may be associated with endocrine (hormonal) toxicity.
Fragrance (8): This ingredient is vague. Because the FDA does not require companies to disclose what is in their &#8220;fragrance,&#8221; it is difficult to say whether or not it is safe for topical use. Exposure to &#8220;fragrance&#8221; can lead to irritation of the respiratory tract.
