It gets rid of bacteria naturally, unlike some store-bought products that contain triclosan, which according to the FDA’s assessment can cause detrimental health effects. Lets take a closer look at the ingredients in this antibacterial orange body wash.
Coconut oil:
This oil is packed with healthy fats called medium-chain fatty acids, which help keep skin moisturized and smooth to the touch. It is also a good source of vitamin E, which is known as a potent skin health vitamin.
Orange essential oil:
This essential oil has potent anti-inflammatory properties, and can help reduce inflammation on the skin and may treat skin disease. It also has natural antiseptic properties, which means that it can kill bacteria and fungus on the skin.
