In June of 2017, a group of 200 scientists and medical professionals called on the international community to ratchet up restrictions on the production and use of triclosan and triclocarban – 2 antimicrobial chemicals found in shampoos and cosmetics.

“Evolution of Smooth” (EOS) lip balm is supposed to keep your lips from cracking and bleeding, but that’s exactly what happened to one woman who filed a class action lawsuit on Jan. 12 against the company.
