For a long time now, doctors have been warning against the overuse of antibiotics and antibacterial products. One reason for this is that the germs are becoming immune and resistant and are producing super-germs that are harder to fight. What is the best soap without antibacterial added and why would you want to use it?
By far, the best soap without antibacteral added is any kind of homemade soap. I especially love goat milk soap (you can check out my website at How to Make Soap for more soap making information), but any kind of handcrafted soap is going to leave your skin feeling nourished and soft - not dry and itchy. The purpose of soap is to break the surface tension of water, thus allowing the water to rinse away the dirt and germs on your skin. WIthout this break in surface tension, the water would just rinse over your skin.
Many people believe that using antibacterials in soap will help them stay healthier, but this is not true. Plain old soap and water is very effective at removing dirt and germs. I have found a very informative link that you can read HERE about the dangers of antibacterial soap. I hope you take the time to read it and encourage others to stop using them.
