BANG FOR THE BITE | | 
Triclosan's in a lot of products, but you can avoid it by quickly glancing at the ingredients list - and yeah, your hands'll still get clean. |
| COCKTAIL FACTOID | |  C'mon, people: A study by the American Society for Microbiology found 25% of men and 10% of women don't wash their hands after using public bathrooms. |
| | Are superbacteria something outta science fiction? The Bite
Take away the fiction part. While it seems like antibacterial cleansers would be more effective than plain, ol' soap, not-so-mad scientists have proven they aren't, and germs are getting stronger because we use so many antibiotics. Natural alts do the job minus the concerns. The Benefits
- Getting just as clean. Germophobes rejoice: U of MI researchers reviewed 27 studies conducted between 1980 and 2006, and found that plain soaps are just as effective as those containing the antibacterial triclosan.
- Not encouraging the monsters. Antibacterial soaps with triclosan can reduce the effectiveness of antibiotics; our picks are naturally antibacterial.
Personally Speaking
Heather went to Burning Man 2007 armed with plenty of EO Hand Sanitizer - when you haven't taken a shower in four days, it's a must-have. Wanna Try?
