The Truth About Chlorine—and What You Can Do About It
By The Clean Water Company
If your kids complain about itchy skin after bath time—or you’ve noticed more dryness, rashes, or sensitivity than usual—your home’s tap water could be part of the problem.
Most cities use chlorine to disinfect the water supply. While effective for eliminating harmful bacteria, chlorine isn’t harmless once it reaches your home. It flows through your pipes and into every faucet, shower, and bathtub—impacting your whole family, every single day.
Why Chlorine Can Be Tough on Skin—Especially for Kids
Children have more delicate, absorbent skin than adults, which makes them especially sensitive to harsh chemicals like chlorine. Over time, regular exposure to chlorinated water can:
Strip away natural oils that protect and moisturize skin
Cause dryness, itchiness, and red patches
Aggravate eczema, psoriasis, or other skin sensitivities
Leave hair brittle, frizzy, and hard to manage
Irritate eyes and nasal passages during baths or showers
For many families, the problem isn’t the lotion or shampoo—it’s the water itself.
The Hidden Problem in Your Water
Municipal water systems are required to disinfect with chlorine to make water safe to drink. But once it enters your home, that chlorine doesn’t just disappear. It lingers in every drop, potentially affecting your family's skin, hair, and overall health.
Prolonged exposure to chlorinated water can:
Disrupt your skin’s natural pH balance and microbiome
Cause or worsen chronic dryness and irritation
Reduce skin’s natural ability to retain moisture
React with organic matter in the water to form disinfection byproducts (like THMs), which may pose long-term health risks
So while chlorine helps prevent waterborne illnesses, it may also be quietly contributing to everyday skin discomfort in your home.
