THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF LIQUID SOAP TO YOUR HEALTH
Many liquid soaps have harmful chemicals that are absorbed by your skin.

Everyone wants to avoid harsh chemicals for themselves and their family — and the simple change to a good bar soap can do it.Other than eating, your body primarily acquires nutrients transdermally. Skin is your largest organ — 22 square feet on average, and what you put on it enters your system. This semi-permeable membrane allow us to absorb vitamins and minerals, but it can let bad stuff in, too. It’s not just ‘you are what you eat’, it’s also ‘you are what you rub on your skin.’
