I read the FDA reported a growing number of studies suggest that anti-microbial chemicals like triclosan, used in soaps from Henkel (maker of dial), Proctor and Gamble, and other companies, may cause harms like hormone disruption. I will send a photo I took of this article in Time magazine. (for some reason I can't figure out how to attach to this thread)
And there are just as many articles saying this is not true. I don't believe it for one second. Maybe in select children, my three boys used nothing but lavender based products and none of them have ever had the problems mentioned. I have talked to nutritionists and physicians and dietitians and they have all said the same thing. Using Lavender does not necessarily mean they will grow breasts, the consensus was if the lavender was of a inferior species or had a filler in it, then the hormones may be affected, but also I was reminded that a lot of things can affect hormones.
So I will continue to lavish my sweet grand boys with lavender, and be forever grateful for doTerra.

Yes, it is true. There are young children who bathed in lavender bath and lavender lotion that developed breasts. There are also people who develop problems using Teatree oil based shampoos and conditioners and there was one guy I knew who developed man breasts that went away when he stopped using it. There are many articles and studies that are well done on this as well as people who can testify that it definitely did affect their hormones.
The properties are in the plant/oil itself and have nothing to do with any possible contaminants. This is not unusual because there are many herbs that have hormonal properties. I prefer not to take the chance of using something regularly I'm myself or others that I know might affect hormone levels.
Of course, as with everything else, some people may be more susceptible than others or have greater or lesser effects hormonally.
It's wise to understand all the possible actions of any substance we used topically or internally so that we can be alert for any changes that are concerning
