They found that children who regularly exposed to triclosan had higher levels of IgE in their urine and The incidence of rhinitis and hay fever (due to pollen allergy and hay) also increased. A previous study in the United States also found that more than 80% of tested urine urine samples contained triclosan. According to experts, triclosan can alter the bacterial flora on the skin, mouth and gastrointestinal tract. These changes may increase your risk of allergies.

Although it is not possible to determine the amount of triclosan that children can be exposed to every day, some studies have shown that this chemical may affect health, such as abnormal weight loss, confusion. Endocrine and severe dysfunction rather than causing birth defects. Therefore, experts recommend that cosmetic manufacturers should completely remove this substance from the product.
