Our Gentle Foaming Hand Soap with natural essential oils combines nourishing vitamin E with softening shea extract & aloe to deliver a luxurious foam that washes hands clean of germs while taking care to maintain skin's natural moisture barrier. Traditional hand soaps are just as effective as anti-bacterial soaps when you wash for 20 seconds.* *According to FDA: There is currently no evidence that anti-bacterial soaps are any more effective at preventing illness than normal soap and water.
