Interesting! My girlfriend told me off recently after I washed my hands with a soap bar because we ran out of liquid hand wash. For me it's the reaction of water and soap all together that matters, this happens regardless of the state of the soap (foam, hard, liquid...).
- toufka 7y agoFoam ≠ good soap. Almost all commercial soaps are decent soaps (for the purpose of killing organisms/viruses) that vary only in how nice they treat your hands, and how they smell. Consumer soaps add foaming agents specifically so people think "they're working" - the foam does nothing. Bar soap is still soap, and works' fine - it's just less convenient to use. Go find an industrial or laboratory soap - that stuff is pure SDS/SLS, flows like olive oil, will remove the top few layers of your skin, and doesn't foam at all.
