- mumblemumble 6y agoIn the USA, is antibacterial soap even a live issue, since the FDA banned basically all the chemicals used to make it about 5 years back? I would assume that at this point the ingredients they're using don't actually work (except perhaps in test tubes and at extreme concentrations) and it's largely just a hollow marketing term.
