When you see ingredients such as water and alcohol you can be assured of dry skin in your future! Once your skin is dry it can crack and provide an open door for all the sickness and bacteria your skin would normally keep out.
Did you know that bar soap at sinks encourages better hand washing?
If your kids are like mine they throw a pump of soap on their hands give them a 1 - 2 scrub and rinse.
When you pick up a bar of soap and begin to rub it with your hands it takes more than a 1-2 scrub to make a lather. Bar soap users are more likely to work that soap in their hands until it lathers. Hence they do a better job washing their hands and spend more time at it which helps prevent the spread of sickness!
