Antibacterial soap was originally made for doctors and other people with contact to the sick and injured. People who already have a weak or compromised immune system should be protected from other people's bacteria and viruses. Bacteria on the caretakers could get into the sick/injured person's system and cause them to become infected. That is why it is important for doctors to sterilize everything they can to keep their patients safe. Antibacterial soap helps people in food service and health care keep others safe from infection. So this is a good thing about antibacterial soap.

Antibacterial soap should not be used by an otherwise healthy individual. Good bacteria on your skin helps to keep you from infection. It takes up room on your skin so bad bacteria can't grow and make you sick. When you use antibacterial soap on a regular basis, it kills all the bacteria, good and bad. When the good aren't there to protect you, the bad have a better chance of growing and making you sick. Antibacterial soap should only be used by people who have a weak immune system, or are around those who do. Regular soap does the job just fine.

I used to use antibacterial body wash, and didn't understand why I kept getting ringworm. I stopped using the antibacterial soap and have never had any type of skin infection every since.

Is a caress velvet bliss bar of soap antibacterial?

Yes and no. hands have good bacteria on them all the time and bad bacteria too. When you wash your hands with soap and water this is important because it helps greatly reduce the amount of bacteria, viruses, etc., on your hands. It's not really the soap that does the germ destroying, it's the washing of hands with warm water. The water is the most important ingredient Caress Velvet Bliss isn't considered an "antibacterial" soap although using it with water does kill germs on your hands. They do make antibacterial soaps with Triclosan and other antibacterial ingredients. But the most important part is the washing of your hands with warm water and antibacterial soap only does a little bit better job of germ killing.
