    Public controversy over triclosan in Colgate Total

    Scientists, environmental groups and consumer advocates questioned the environmental persistence and possible health effects of triclosan, the antibacterial ingredient used in the original U.S. Colgate Total formulation. Colgate-Palmolive maintained that the approved product was safe and effective; later U.S. reformulation removed triclosan from the product sold there.
