There's no evidence OTC antibacterial soaps prevent disease more than washing with plain soap and water. Some antibacterial drugs can do more harm than good.
Anything that can kill living organisms to the guaranteed percentage, isn’t not as cut and dry as “alcohol” in hand sanitizer. A lot of them are a based in chlorine.
*I only ask this as I knew someone who claimed to be an inventor of this and well…I listened quite a bit on the whole bit. I liked them a lot, but we sort of parted ways at some point. But I thought they were good people. I just think about this…chemical compound (I guess you’d call it) from time to time because of them. But also see it sometimes listed on things nowadays.
I never stopped to ask what is in " antibacterial" soap that makes it such? Do they straight-up put an antibiotic in it like fucking Neosporin?
Then you’ve got “hand sanitizer” which is usually just denatured ethanol and some gelling agent.
Not sure. I would have been happy with just a product from a brand I recognized that actually claimed to be soap without weird marketing weasel words.

First result detective but it looks mostly like triclosan C12.H7.Cl3.O2. hocl appears to be used more for water purification than cleansing agent.
