SUMMARY
Triclocarban is an antimicrobial agent and synthetic chemical compound that was historically used in skincare products like antibacterial soaps and body cleansers for its ability to reduce the growth of bacteria and fungi on skin. Because of concerns about its safety, environmental impact and potential contribution to antibiotic resistance, its use in skincare products has been restricted or banned in many countries.
