It is called a cream soap because of its thicker, lotion-like texture and the way the formula combines cleansing with conditioning. The cleansing base lifts dirt, oil and impurities with water, while glycerin attracts and holds moisture in the upper layers of the skin. Avocado oil adds to that skin-friendly feel by helping reduce the sensation of dryness and leaving skin smoother and more supple.
Compared with a plain liquid soap, this type of formula is designed for people who wash their hands often and do not want the tight, dry feeling that aggressive washing can leave behind. The product is also matched to the skin's natural pH, which is relevant because very harsh cleansers can disturb the surface barrier and make skin feel rough.
It still cleanses like a soap, so it will not replace the need to rinse thoroughly and dry gently. The formula contains tea tree oil, which contributes a fresh-feeling scent, and silver citrate and piroctone olamine, which the manufacturer describes as part of the hygienic focus. There are no dyes, so if colorants are a concern for you, this is one less ingredient to think about.
If your hands are already very sensitive, cracked, or reactive to fragranced cleansers or preservatives, do a patch test before regular use and follow up with a hand cream after washing. This is a cosmetic cleansing product, not a medicine.
