Health and environmental groups have mounted a campaign against Bath & Body Works, urging the retailer to stop selling its line of “Summertime Scent” soaps that contain triclosan, a chemical categorized as a pesticide.
Scientific studies have linked triclosan to hormone disruption, which could be hazardous to teenagers whose bodies are still developing.
