So far we considered that anti bacterial soap is healthy. But there is contrary opinion also. see the link:

Many agencies several times warned, that cleansing agents or any beauty products are ridden with chemicals that cause damage to humans. Neither the governments nor the public seem to care these warnings.

Use of nano technology in beauty products supplements the use of chemical ones, it has awesome results . it is skin friendly.The downside is the cost factor ,which is very high. :)

I guess the companies are doing the right thing here by giving the warnings. So, it is up to the public to pay attention to that.

moreover chemical base products are harmful for health, anti bacterial soap, DO or any other one.

We must read instructions given on products.

we must use herbal products.

But do we trust the herbal products in the first place? There are many things that are getting polluted and herbal products cannot be safely said to be safe for use - just a doubt.

We cannot trust any products blindly. The ISI mark is a certification for quality standard of a product. So, it is advisable to use ISI marked products. There is nothing to worry if you face no issue. But if you feel some skin problem or anything that could be relatable to the product, you need be alarmed and stop using the product. Some time back, my nephew gave me an aftershave lotion. I would feel itching sensation after using that. Thus I felt that the lotion did not suit me. Then I stopped using that.

Triclosan is the main antibacterial agent in soaps but it is now proved that it more harmful than useful. So the next time before purchasing soaps we should check whether it contains triclosan or not. In India there are many brands which provide Tricolsan free soaps.

A normal consumer is unable to check such differences. Will it not be appropriate that ISI does not certify such products in view of harmful affects.

It will be certainly appropriate if a central board tests the consumer products like lotions, beauty products etc and make the people aware about the harmful ingredients if any.

Not necessary that ISI conducts awareness programme. ISI mark itself should be sufficient proof of quality of product. Otherwise the ISI mark is meaningless.

Yes Gulshanji, what you said is correct, a normal consumer will not be able to find out such differences. A ban should be issued to such harmful products. In India you can find products with fake ISI marks, which a normal person will not be able to differentiate. I think cases should be registered against such products in the consumer court.

There are bad allegations against the standardization processes of ISI. There should be a third party to certify a product's authenticity.
