Rising trucking, railroad, dry-bulk, and air-freight rates are also negatively impacting the market. Soap and cleaning product manufacturers are extremely sensitive to fluctuating raw material costs. Companies in the industry are replacing triclosan and triclocarban with chemicals such as benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, or chloroxylenol (PCMX) as they are known to be harmful to both health and the environment. Triclosan and triclocarban are the anti-microbial ingredients used in personal care products to stop or slow the growth of bacteria that cause harm. These agents are used in products such as soaps, lotions, hand washes, toothpaste, mouthwashes, soaps, deodorants, and cleaning compounds. The Food & Drug Administration stated that the manufacturers did not demonstrate the ingredients to be safe for long-term daily use and more effective in preventing illness and the spread of infections. They are also found in water bodies, thus affecting marine life. For instance, P&G and Unilever, consumer product companies, stopped manufacturing and using triclosan and triclocarban agents and are replacing them with other chemical ingredients.
