What Is Antiseptic Soap?
Antiseptic soap, sometimes called antibacterial soap or anti-fungal soap, is regular soap in liquid or solid form that contains some kind of antiseptic ingredient. An antiseptic is a substance that reduces the chance of infection and is applied to the skin. Antiseptics also have antimicrobial properties, meaning they kill or inhibit the growth of microbes like bacteria, virus or fungi. Alcohol, triclosan and tetrasodium EDTA are three antiseptics commonly used in antiseptic soap, and they are all examples of antibacterial antiseptics, meaning they are proven to be effective against bacteria.
