Most of the available antibacterial handsoaps on the market today contain Triclosan. Triclosan ends up in our streams, lakes and rivers killing microscopic organisms because it is immune to most water treatments. This harmful killing if organisms effects our fisheries and the life forms that eat the fish, thereby disrupting our whole ecosystem. Triclosan ends up in our drinking water as well.
