Antibacterial soaps can sometimes be drying because they strip natural oils from the skin along with dirt and microbes. To mitigate this, this formula includes several skin-friendly additions. Glycerin is present to bind water, helping to keep the skin hydrated and reducing the tight, dry feeling that often follows rinsing. Additionally, olive extract and rooibos extract are included to make the soap feel less harsh compared to stripped-down antiseptic washes.
Despite these soothing ingredients, the core active ingredient is chlorhexidine digluconate, a broad-spectrum antiseptic. While effective at disrupting microorganisms, it can be drying for some individuals. If you have very reactive skin, or if you live in a cold climate where skin is already prone to dryness, it is advisable to pay attention to how your skin feels with repeated use. If you notice tightness, redness, or irritation, you should stop using the product. It is not a substitute for a moisturizer, so those with chronic dryness may need to apply a separate hand cream after washing.
