Being the health conscious people that we are, when we buy soap we look for that
anti-bacterial or anti-microbial lable. These soaps anti-bacterial agent is primarily
triclosan. Does Triclosan work?
Triclosan does work. Triclosan is a potent anti-bacterial and anti-fungal chemical.
However, when used in antibacterial soap, there is no perceived added benefit. Normal
soap and water is just as effective as antimicrobial/antibacterial soap and water.
Does this mean that simple old handwashing is the best alternative? No. One thing
that has come on the market in the past couple of years is santizing gel. The most
popular of which is made by Johnson & Johnson called Purell. There are a wide array of Purell products however you will only find limited amounts at your local drug or grocery store. However all of these products are available readily online.
