Antibacterial Soaps Provide Consumers with a False Sense of Security
MECHANICVILLE, NY – A local company has been educating people through their newsletter and blog that antibacterial soaps can provide a false sense of security and leave your skin dry.
With the ongoing concerns of colds and influenza, hand washing is more important than ever; that's undisputed. However, antibacterial soaps require taking more time to wash your hands than we are used to in order to work correctly. A common side effect of the antibacterial soap is that it leaves your skin dry.
In 2005, an FDA advisory panel concluded that antibacterial soap provided no benefit over plain soap. Alabu, Inc., a local hand made soap manufacturer, is using their extensive knowledge base to educate people that antibacterial soaps may be unnecessary, and the use of a regular bar soap maybe more beneficial as a whole.“I have been using Alabu's soaps for years.” says Nell Turgeon. “As a parent of a child that has just had open heart surgery, it is very important that I keep my hands clean. I can't afford for my daughter to get sick.
”It's important that we all take the appropriate steps to avoid illness this flu season. Washing your hands frequently throughout the day is a major part of staying healthy. It is also important to not give yourself a false sense of security by using antibacterial soaps. By choosing something more soothing for you skin you can combat the dry winter months while also keeping your skin clean.
