Favorite antibacterial free hand soap?

[megbot]

that's also vegan?

I like nice smelling stuff too, but that isn't necessary. Just something paraben/petro-chemical free, triclosan free, and relatively affordable. Thanks :)

i like this: http://www.methodhome.com/Product.aspx?id=003626 the sea scented one aint bad either, and i haven't tried the lavender but i spect i'd like that too.

I saw that there was glycerin in some of method's soaps. I was checking them out. Do you know if its definitely animal-free?

(sorry, I've learned through you guys to trust NO ONE! lol)

and edit: i thought kiss my face had a lot of misc chemicals in their soaps. Do they have a really natural one I've missed or am I misinformed?

Question
does method contain any animal by-products?

Answer
No. Our current formulations contain no animal ingredients or animal by-products.

it'll be vegetable glycerine then. :)

^^^ oooh, i bet that smells nice. i like bergamot. and foamy things.

I don't like foaming soap at all. I've tried and tried and i'm sure its great and resourceful, I just don't feel entirely like I washed my hands I guess? I don't know.

I'll hunt out this product though and if I find it give it a whirl. I don't think i've seen that line before, but then again I typically overlooked them. Thanks for the insider info Ahimsa, otherwise I'd never considered them heh.

:worried::worried::worried:I read somewhere that antibacterial soaps that contain troclosan cause cancer and kill good bacteria, so watch out for that ingredient!

Dr. Bronners, it's organic and vegan. You can dilute it in water in a 1:10 ratio so a little goes a whole long way, and if you buy a foaming soap pump it'll go even further.

Also if I remember correctly vitacost.com sells like a gallon of this stuff for like 15 bones, you can wash anything with it, people do their laundry and even wash their cars using Bronner's. Primarily I use it for handsoap and for cleaning counters and my bathroom diluted in a spray bottle, I just really like how simple the ingredients are.

Hate foaming cleaners heh. I did find method handwash for 1.49 on sale at target though, so I got two of those. I love dr bronners though, I use it for everything else. The citrus one does wonders on a bathroom floor.

Doesn't method foam?
