Brief Answer:
Chemical induced Cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You have been using Dettol soap for bathing your children. The chemical ingredient of the soap remains in contact with skin for a very short while where after whole skin gets rinsed with water. So there is absolutely no risk of developing cancer. Be assured there is no risk.
Thanks.
