Petrochemicals are substances made from petroleum and other oils. Some of the common ones that you find in soap, body wash, and other skin care products include things like:
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, or SLS, SLES, mineral oil, and others. You should not use skin care or body care products that have these in them as they are linked to several health problems and are just not good for you and your health.
