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

I do not take is internally on a regular basis. I use it in a spritz bottle. I had a terrible scar on my face that was dark purple, now it is my normal skin color because of the silver. My husband uses it around his eyes, he gets nasty eye infections, and has not had a one since using the colloidal silver. When I do take it internally I take 1/2 an ounce (I measure it out). Hope this was helpful to you. This stuff really does work well, and has saved us many trips to the doctors and the pharmacy.

Hello, generally speaking, CPAP manufacturer's instructions indicate that the mask, hose and reservoir be washed daily. Most customers do not follow these instructions. Although the SoClean is a sanitizer, we cannot technically advise anyone against what the manufacturer suggests. If you decide to hand wash your equipment daily, weekly or not at all, please be assured that the equipment is sanitized as long as you run the SoClean daily. We provide a pre-wash that is intended to use prior to the first use of your SoClean or when introducing new equipment to your CPAP system, to wash your mask, hose and reservoir. You would use the pre-wash with water, in the same way you would use dish soap, to clean your equipment. If you do chose to hand wash your equipment we recommend using a Fragrance-free hypoallergenic cleaning solution. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Christine Dadah Customer Support

Due to the Ebola outbreak I have stopped using black soap because no one can tell me if the virus can survive in the soap being that it's made in Africa. What is your opinion to my question. To answer your question. No it's not normal for these items to be in the soap.or a moldy look.

I know it works GREAT with soap and water and for clothes, fruit washing, and cleaning in general. As far as cosmetics im not sure. This is a base and counteracts acidic compounds. Like oj or apple juice and things of that nature. I wouldnt use it as a persevative. I take 16 drops on my tongue (taken years to build up to this so DONT TRY) for an infection i have in my lungs and it has kept me out of the hospital! I love this stuff and love finding new uses. Well worth the buy i buy 3-4 at a time!

Yes. But it has a peppermint smell, if that is okay with you. Also, ozonated oils have a generally weird smell that I find son what offensive, but maybe others will not. It is safe on skin, except around eyes where it might irritate.

I use the oil morning and right before going to bed. After shaking well, I apply with my clean finger around they eye socket staying on the bone. I start at inside part of eyebrow and going all around the optical socket end up at nose. If you need further information please e mail me privately at kittenears51@gmail.com

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

I prefer a fan brush. The most important things are to not "rub" it into your skin and to NOT GET IT IN YOUR EYES. Also, I'm just checking here, you know that you should only leave it on for minutes (2 to 5 depending on your skin) then you have to remove it. Soap can neutralize it. Personally I like to use milk, followed by soap. Keep in mind that this stuff stings, it's supposed to sting. It's acid chewing through unwanted top layers of skin to expose prettier skin underneath. It's going to burn even more as you neutralize it. Get ready with your neutralizing plan before you apply. You can hurt yourself with this stuff if you don't handle it carefully. Please be careful.

I use a little antibacterial gel, the one you use for your hands. It is cheap and kills 99.99% of the germs. Just rub it gently on the iom and then clean so you don't damage the system.

Be careful. Put soap on any part of the face but wash off quickly. There are tutorials on YouTube about this soap and how to use it.

The bottle states: 'biodegradable surfactants' and 'contains no phosphate' -- and it is not antibacterial. That's all it says. But I agree with Markie: it's the best dishwashing soap!

Yes, it is. My understanding is that doctors use it to sanitize their hands before surgery. It's very effective.

I put drops of tea tree oil in my liquid soap, because it works as an anti-septic. It does kill and prevent bacteria, and skin infections. Be careful not to use too much tea tree oil, because it has a very strong smell and it can over power.

One answer I've heard is that you want to keep eyedrops as sterile as possible, and the cold retards bacteria growth. If this is the only consideration, it's certainly less important than being able to get the drops out of the bottle! If there is some other reason, I guess we'd have to ask the manufacturer.

My family and I use it as a facial soap with no problems. I usually lather it up in my hands and apply to my wet face. I would recommend using a moisturizer after washing with this soap as it can cause the skin to become dry unless you have oily skin.
