It's about time
I have always avoided antibacterial soap because I didn't want to breed triclosan-resistant bacteria on my skin. I also didn't want to kill the good bacteria that keep the bad bacteria and the yeast in check.
Soap, water, and a scrubbing motion for 30 seconds gets rid of most gems. Vinegar kills a lot of stuff too, without killing the good bacteria.
I'm glad antibacterial soaps will be gone, but I'm surprised body washes are still allowed. And I never realized there were antibacterial toothpastes... man, that's just asking for oral thrush!
Gargle with raw apple cider vinegar instead :-D
