Can Soap Make You Dirty?

Ingredients for Old Spice can lead to cancer, birth defect's, weaken immune system, and many other concerns such as Neurotoxicity, Irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs), and Enhanced skin absorption. When I was researching this on www.ewg.org there were eighty eight different products made from this brand that all had hazards ingredients in them. I happen to use Old Spice body wash all the time and on a scale from one to ten, one being the least hazards, it is a seven. At level seven the risk of cancer getting in your system is more prominent and may also lead to allergic reactions and incapability to fight decease and repair damaged body tissue. This soap is just use to clean me and make me smell good, witch it does, but i am at risk for doing it. Normally we think organic means it is all natural. Old Spice is all organic and plant-based ingredients, but think about poison oak, this is plant-based. So, natural plants are not always the best and normal, everyday soap can be making us ill.

Ben, good point about organic. Maybe you've changed products?
