Anecdotally, I increased hand washing at the start of the pandemic using liquid handwash (containing sodium laureth sulfate), and it caused skin irritation. I switched to plain bar soap (sodium palmate and sodium palm kernelate), which did not.

And it has become impossible to find detergent based bar soap, I think because there's a glut of tallow and lard. So we use liquid body wash now.
