Antimicrobial Soaps

Antimicrobial soaps are products that contain active ingredients that fight against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They are commonly used for hand washing and body cleansing in order to reduce the spread of illness-causing microbes. These active ingredients may include chemicals such as triclosan, benzalkonium chloride, or chloroxylenol, as well as natural substances like tea tree oil, aloe vera, or eucalyptus. Antimicrobial soaps are often recommended for use by healthcare professionals and in settings where there is a high risk of infection, such as hospitals or schools. However, there is some controversy surrounding the use of antimicrobial soaps, as some studies have shown that they may contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
