My Dr. said to wash face &amp; hands with antibacterial soap before using pre-surgery eye drops. Is Dr. B's peppermint liquid soap antibacterial?

Don't tell anyone, especially the soap companies that are scamming us, but all soap is antibacterial. First let's take a look at how soap works on a chemical level. To make soap, you need to combine an acid and a base (or alkali). The acid is fat (fatty acids and triglycerides), and the base is sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The mixture causes the fatty acids to separate from the triglycerides and fuse with the hydroxide ions, forming a salt that we call "soap." Soap has two main functions: Decrease water's surface tension Bind to dirt, oil and bacteria

Rubbing the sponge on a bar of soap works better than any liquid cleanser. I use Dr. Bronner's peppermint bar soap.

I didn't really use this soap for that--in fact, I didn't wash my face with it. I also have under-eye puffiness and I find the best thing is to make compresses with tea, tea bags, especially green tea. In general, I find just drinking green tea to be the best thing for looking good! (I also heard some people raving about the Midnight Recovery line from Khiel's. But it is really expensive and just more chemicals....try the green tea.)

I've never been in position where this soap would've come into contact w my jewelry. I always remove necklaces/rings etc before showering or washing my face. If people are saying that it could affect your jewelry, I'd remove it before using this product :)

I would think so. We just use an antibacterial soap with a tooth brush and scrub it. Never had a problem.

Surgeons use this stuff to wash before surgery. It's fine to wash humans with it. Go look at Hibicleanse. It's perfectly fine for humans.

There are NO BEADS only liquid and a wonderful body wash very peppermint scented and tingly I highly recommend it if their is a trader joe,s near you you can buy a bottle of it for 3.99. I use a bath sponge and put it on that and it lathers up really well

Per Eye Envy bottle: no antibiotics other & no harsh chemicals, but you may want to contact the company for more info. I would NEVER use Angel Eyes.

Hahahahahaha!!!! I always wash my hands with anti-bac soap and it comes off after a good scrub.

I bought the soap only for the wonderful aroma, not because of any antibacterial properties. We don't need antibacterial soap in ordinary life (in hospitals and laboratories yes, but those would be clinical grade, much stronger and with little or no perfume). I think these natural aromas are stimulating and refreshing.

No they arent antibacterial, besides you would want any sort of antibacterial chemicals in sensitive areas. these wipes have been working very well so far have been using them for a few months now. they are a bit weaker than I expected, but they need to be for the the septic system they break up easily in water.

You need to request one without peppermint oil in it. They can do that! I use both.. One with it and one without it. The peppermint oil one barely has a scent so I like that one. The other one I request without is for relative who is allergic to peppermint. ( he sneezes and sneezes). Funny how in the same household we use both! He only sneezes when i have the peppermint oil one opened and doing laundry! ( sheets are washed in one with ppeppermint oil and it has no effect on him! Go figure!! Lol

After peeling and cutting onions and garlic, I wash my hands with soap first, and then rub them with the large grip of one of my stainless dinner knives. It works the same way and is the same principle...stainless steel neutralizes the odor! (but please...use soap first...that takes care of the bacteria first!)

I think coffee soap has nothing to do with eye puffiness at all. This kind of soap is a good choice for body bath and that's it.

I use mouthwash and cold water for retainers. For eyeglasses I use dish soap and warm water.

Easiest thing to do. Just take some liquid soap on a soft cloth, rub n rinse with your hands. Voila !!

Nope, this isn't a disinfectant (such products are always labeled as having that attribute). My view is that FDA and CDC think that we're using too many antibacterial agents in our household cleaning products as it is, so I don't use such products in most situations (soap will kill most bacteria). OTH if you have a biohazard type situation at home (eg bodily fluids) you may want to use a disinfectant to clean up that particular mess.
