Both BHT (2,6-ditert-butyl-4-methylphenol)and Triclosanareexamplesofsyntheticcompoundswhichhavebeenmostly used in such consumer soap products to giveantioxidant and antibacterial properties respectively.However,these synthetic substances could be replaced bynaturalingredientsobtainedfromcommonmedicinalplants.
