In recent years, personal hygiene has become a top priority, as people focus on protecting themselves against bacteria and potential illness. As a result, many people seek to purchase personal care products like hand soap and bar soap that can do just that. What is antibacterial soap? And what are the benefits of using antibacterial hand soaps and bar soaps? The experts at Dial®, the #1 doctor recommended antibacterial hand soap brand, have the answers to your antibacterial questions.
Before you can understand how an antibacterial soap works, it is important to understand what it means for a soap to be antibacterial. A product labeled antibacterial contains an antibacterial ingredient. For example, Dial® antibacterial hand soaps are formulated with a bacteria-killing ingredient called Benzalkonium Chloride.
This active ingredient, Benzalkonium Chloride, helps Dial® antibacterial hand soaps kill more than 99.9% of bacteria found in household settings. Antibacterial soap can help protect you from commonly transmitted bacteria, and fewer bacteria on the hands may result in fewer instances of cross-contamination of food and other household surfaces.
