Tell Bath & Body Works: No marketing toxic triclosan to teens!

Please join Beyond Pesticides, Center for Environmental Health and The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics in asking Bath and Body Works to stop selling triclosan-containing products that claim to “Spread Love, Not Germs.” Consumer products, especially those that are marketed to and used by preteens and teens should not have harmful chemicals in them. This is unacceptable. Take action.

As you know, triclosan is not only a hormone disruptor found at increasing concentrations in human urine and breast milk, but also contaminates waterways and possibly even the water we drink. To add insult to injury, triclosan is not even effective against harmful bacteria, including those found in hospitals.

We need to hold companies accountable for the safety of the substances they put into their products and take action against stores that are still selling many triclosan-containing products. Bath & Body Works, the body care chain popular with teens and young children, uses the triclosan in a vast array of their body care products, even boasting that the products will help “Spread love, Not germs.”

Join us to take action to make Bath & Body Works products safer. Tell Bath an Body Works CEO Diane L. Neal: “Stop using toxic triclosan in your products.”
