In response to concerns about health and environmental safety, companies in the soap and cleaning industry are phasing out the use of triclosan and triclocarban. These chemicals are being replaced with alternatives such as benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, or chloroxylenol (PCMX). Triclosan and triclocarban are antimicrobial agents commonly found in personal care products, including soaps, lotions, hand washes, toothpaste, mouthwashes, deodorants, and cleaning compounds. The Food & Drug Administration has raised concerns about the safety of these ingredients for long-term daily use and their effectiveness in preventing illnesses and the spread of infections. Additionally, these chemicals have been found in water bodies, leading to environmental concerns and their impact on marine life. Major consumer product companies like P&G and Unilever have ceased using triclosan and triclocarban, opting for alternative chemical ingredients.
