A recent synthesis argues that excessive handwashing and sanitizers can alter skin/gut microbiomes, which in turn influence immune signaling and cognition.

ALL soap is antibacterial. And you’re right, you don’t need the extra bullshit. Whole thing is a marketing gimmick, and I’m old enough to remember when it began.
Soap pops their little lipid cell walls. I want to ask the antibacterial soap people, “So, uh, does that shit pop their cell walls harder?”
It’s the difference is shooting someone in the face with a 12-gauge and insisting an RPG is what’s really needed.
Chemically destroying bacteria with soap is a slow process, though, the primary use is mechanically removing pathogens by washing your hands with soap and water, and rinsing them down the drain. So yes, antibacterial soap does pop them even harder.
