It is well known that the industry has been torn over the use of anti-bacterial agents in liquid hand soap. Conflicting scientific studies show a reasonable benefit in the use of anti-bacterial hand soap, but other studies show little of no benefit between standard hand soap and those with anti-bacterial properties.
