After my allergic reaction to Tom's I started checking ingredients on everything in the house and discovered some of the deodorants had Triclosan in them! Talk about overkill. I called the company(not Tom's) and they said it was removed as of 1/1/2014, but they were not required to remove stock from the store shelves, so you might still find some product with it.
