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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

It says not to put it in the dispenser. It works really well to clean clothes. If you have sensitive skin, then you should go to their web site and order the stuff without peppermint... I have eczema, and the peppermint kinda burned my skin, but the company made it right by sending me a substitute. AWESOME customers service for SURE.

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!

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

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.

This is great soap, but it's pretty strong. I'm a grown man, and it hurts my eyes, if I get it into them. I would not wash a baby's face with it.

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

I do. I'll use this afterwards to exfoliate. It has a great scent which lasts long after the shower! I don't see the problem using before or after! Just be careful around the eyes since it can be damaging if it gets in there.

Yes. I have a fondness for Dr. Immanuel Bronner's peppermint oil soap because computer screens & cetera tend to accumulate rather greasy dirt. Just make sure you rinse it all out afterward. Plain water does not remove grease or oil very well.

No it is not. I only know from personal experience. I will suggest using their bar soap on your little one if he's s boy. It's not tear free but it does not have as many suds as the shampoo. I use the bar soap on my little man and it's easier to manage with regards to keeping out of the eyes. I honestly wish I found these products sooner. Joanna J. Pangelinan, MS/PSY

It does not say on the packaging that it is antibacterial. It cleans very well. On occasion I will add some household bleach to my mop water or the solution I use to clean my kitchen.

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.
