No. A deodorant soap is a cosmetic product intended for washing the body to eliminate odours. A deodorant soap may or may not contain an ingredient that kills or inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria.

Antibacterial soaps provide extra protection against bacteria that may cause many common illnesses. Consumers looking for additional protection before preparing and eating meals, after using the bathroom, diapering a child, after playing with a pet or when caring for the sick may want to use an antibacterial soap.

Soaps intended to kill or inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria have been marketed since the 1920s. Greater consumer concern over health risks from germs has generated increased demand for new antibacterial hand and body wash products.

Antibacterial soaps kill or inhibit bacteria that cause odour, skin infections, food poisoning, intestinal illnesses and other commonly transmitted diseases. Their effectiveness depends on the antibacterial ingredient, its concentration, its contact time on the skin and the product formulation.

Triclocarban, chloroxylenol (also known as PCMX) and alcohol are three other commonly used ingredients.

Irish Spring® offers an antibacterial option in Irish Spring® Sport®. The antibacterial ingredient kills germs that can cause body odors. Irish Spring® Sport® offers all day odor protection and leaves you feeling clean and fresh.

The main difference is that antibacterial soaps contain a special ingredient for controlling germs. When washing with an antibacterial soap, a very small amount of antibacterial ingredient is deposited on the skin that keeps the number of germs at a significantly reduced level for an extended period of time. Washing with plain soap initially removes some germs, but the germs left on the hands can quickly regrow and increase in number.

Yes, some GUM toothbrushes and interproximal brushes have bristles that are coated with chlorhexidine, an antibacterial agent that can significantly reduce bacterial contamination, thereby keeping the brush cleaner.

We ask that patients do not wear either powder or deodorant. However for the patients that are coming to our facility during evening hours or for whatever reason cannot comply with this request we do supply special hypoallergenic wipes for use prior to the exam.

I've always been amazed and baffled that commercial deodorants for women always include antiperspirant (which includes aluminum). Don't know why, and it has always bugged me. You cannot get a plain deodorant for women. Years ago I would buy the men's deodorant which is available without the antiperspirant. Then I found some natural deodorants for women without antiperspirant, good. But they didn't work. So I've continued my quest and have finally developed a recipe that works.

We use ultramarines and iron oxides for our colorants. We never use FD&C colorings in any of our products. All of the colors in the soaps are all scented the same. For instance, with lavender-mint the blue is not lavender and the green is not mint. The same goes for sandalwood-citrus. Both colors are scented the same.

A.--That is one of the things my soaps are known for. When I develop a new recipe, one of the first things I look for is a good, fluffy lather. If the finished soap doesn't lather well, I will work with the recipe until it does.

Although I found I could not prevent new acne with any special soaps, skin products, or additional cleansing of the skin, my dermatologist recommended using a hypo-allergenic non-irritating soap to not cause any additional burning sensation on skin areas already broken out.

Handmade bar soaps are the mildest form of soap that can be made. Raising their free oil content by using added cocoa, shea, mango avocado, or other vegetable butters, hemp, black seed or other light oils at 1% to 3%, will enhance the "hand lotion in soap effect". Be sure to use extra rosemary extract to preserve free oils. Aloe vera, comfrey, milk proteins, oatmeal, beta glucans proteins etc. contain natural anti-inflammatory ingredients that help soothe irritated skin.

The antibacterial activity in regular honey is due to four major processes or qualities: the osmotic effect, the acidity of honey, the production of hydrogen peroxide in honey and the phytochemical factor. The Osmotic Effect: Honey consists of 84% fructose and glucose and 15-21% water. The sugar molecules and the water molecules interact strongly. When the sugar content of honey is high and the moisture content (water) is low, bacteria can not grow in honey.

We would prefer you didn’t, but if you have, we will simply ask you to use a special hypoallergenic wipe before your exam.

Superfatting a soap means that the amount of lye used has been reduced, so that there is extra oil that is not turned into soap. These extra oils are then available for your skin to make use of, in addition to the glycerine for their moisturizing properties. Soap Shed Soaps contain a lot of extra oils that act as lotion - often called saponifiables - and this is one of the reasons that Soap Shed Soaps feel so wonderful on your skin.

There is another type called melt & pour soap or glycerin soap. It is generally transparent and can be quite pretty. The alcohol in the soap is responsible for the transparency. It can also cause drying. The quality is dependant on where the base was purchased. You can buy M & P at your local hobby stores but in general it very expensive and poor in quality.

Make sure they are not sitting in a puddle of water in the shower, let them dry out between uses, by using a draining soap dish. If you wish to store your soaps before use, you can set them in a drawer, or basket in the bathroom, they will be a nice room deodorizer.
