Commercial hand soaps are not necessarily a better solution to the problems presented by hand sanitizers. The majority of commercial soaps and cleansers on store shelves are made from a variety of combined chemicals. Chemicals commonly found in commercial sops include Sodium Laurel Sulfate (very drying and possibly carcinogenic) , A-terpineol (can cause edema, and respiratory problems especially if inhalant is prolonged) , Benzaldehye (depresses central nervous system) , Triclosan (bactericide and mutagen readily absorbed through skin irritates eyes and linked to liver damage) , Benzyl Acetate, and Linalool (can damage both motor activity and respiratory function) .
