My Dr. said to wash face & 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

Not that I am aware of . I don't recall the Bottle saying it is either . You might want to try Dial Soap . I know Dial is an Antibacterial soap . Hope that helps and Best of Luck with your Surgery :O)

In addition to J.Noonan's comment, "antibacterial" soaps have harmful chemicals.

The antiseptic is benzalkonium Chloride. It is exactly the same as in our doctor's office for cleansing before giving a urine sample, so your doctor would know. The box says I is also for minor cuts, scrapes, burns, maternity care, and as a first aid antiseptic - but not to use over a large area of the body and not to use as an antiseptic for more than 1 week. Ask your doctor!

No Rx needed. This anti-microbial wound wash cleanser is used in probably all hospital wound care /burn units to aid in the fight against germs and bacteria. Good suggestion, also buy the pump, and upon receiving the product, pour about half or a little less into another container, refill both 1/3rd back with lukewarm water, now you have enough to last for a while. The original solution comes out the pump like a foam soap, easy to use and cleanse.

I would not use rose water as eye drops - it does contain oil. I do use this as a compress, and to cleanse my eye area. Hope this helps!

Personally, I feel the need to use something after I remove my make-up with the Bioderma. It might be overkill, but I use a face wash too. However, I have heard from others that they rely on this solution alone to cleanse the face. It has no soap or oil so, I do not see why not. But, it is a personal preference. I have three bottles in my bathroom as I do not want to be without it.

I use a dime size of olive oil and antibacterial soap mix together in the palm of my hand. I rub it brush in thenpalmof my hand in a circular motion. Then rise in warm water. Do not submerge the brush in water. Let air dry over night. Hope this helps!!

Hi Alexandra, I use the Black soap with Shea Butter for face, body and my hair. I love the smell and you feel so clean after using the soap. I cannot remember what it smells like as it has been sometime since I had any of Dr. Woods Products. Like any soap used on the face avoid getting any in your eyes. As stated, I like the product with the Shea Butter...I did not have any issues after using, just fresh clean skin and hair. I also used it on my two year old grandson without any problems.

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 a 1:4 mix of regular Listerine and warm water on my ceramic/porcelain tile floors. Weird, right? It's too strong for my mouth so I repurposed it. It's relatively inexpensive, antibacterial, and has the added benefit of opening your sinuses and freshening the air!

It would relieve pain in the joints of your fingers. I would simply recommend to wash the finger tips with dish soap after, that should get most of the balm off your fingers. With respect to touching your eyes, I don't think you would touch your eyes immediately after applying hand cream either... Maybe that's just me. So, in short, yes, it would help relieve pain (temporarily), and no, you shouldn't touch your eyes with it on your fingers.

On my face i use the soap by itself. On my body i use a body wash first then the soap. Either way you should be fine.But If you do use the soap by itself make sure to get a good moisturizer.

In response to your question, as this shampoo is sulfate free, I would imagine it is safer than a Johnson&Johnson; product specifically made for babies and children. For a proper answer, I would think the manufacturer needs to answer that question definitively or more research on your part so you can make an educated decision. Fortunately I haven't gotten any in my eyes, so I can't answer that part of the question definitively either, sorry. I do know that Young Living makes a line of kid-oriented products, named KidScents and they offer shampoo, body lotion and bubble bath, in addition to a TenderTush for diaper issues. You may want to look into that. In response to your question, as this shampoo is sulfate free, I would imagine it is safer than a Johnson&Johnson; product specifically made for babies and children.

"Killing germs" is one of those phrases that my grandma used..."antibacterial" is the term they use today...soap that is not antibacterial still kills germs...the point is to remove the filth that contains the contaminates and this does that really well. If you need "antibacterial" cleaning, you should use something like bleach. Its safer not to bleach everything as we need some bacteria in our lives. There really is such a thing as too clean...

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!
