Finally! . No more Triclosan and other dangerous stuff. I stopped using antibacterial soap a while ago. Switched to Method and have been using that brand for all my cleaning needs. Triclosan is also present in facial cleansing stuff and lots of other products like toothpaste etc. Scary stuff.

The brand isn't really important as long as it's plain soap.

I like Dr. Bronner's for the very short ingredient list and the crazed ranting.

Triclosan is in anti-plaque toothpastes, but dentists say it actually has the opposite effect and actually causes more plaque to form.
