Is Hard Water Dangerous?
Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium particles that bind to chemicals in soaps and shampoos called surfactants that act as detergents, making them insoluble and collecting on the skin.
This upsets the natural balance of bacteria that help maintain skin as a physical barrier, leaving it vulnerable to colonization by potentially harmful bacteria that can cause infection.
