Original Note:
There’s lack of evidence showing antibacterial soaps are better at preventing illness or dirt compared to normal soaps and water. Antibacterial soaps can have negative effects such as interfering with thyroid function due to their active ingredient triclosan. https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/antibacterial-soap-you-can-skip-it-use-plain-soap-and-water https://www.conehealth.com/services/urgent-care/5-reasons-to-stop-using-antibacterial-soaps/
