You win this round. It does state that triclosan hasn’t been allowed use in soap in the US for the past 7 years, though. So that’s not in any of the soaps here.
Yeah, they don’t use that specific ingredient anymore, however the same concern is still there. Some bacteria could survive the soap if everyone using said soaps don’t wash their hands properly every time they use the soap.
If I recall correctly from a report early in the covid pandemic, regular soaps attach to the cell membrane of bacteria and to oils/debris on the hands. Physically rubbing your hands together for the 2 minutes rips the bacterial and viral matter apart and dislodges whatever other debris is on them and then the water pulls the soap and everything attached to it down the drain. There’s nothing really for the bacteria or viruses to adapt to in that scenario.
It’s still dumb as hell. It’s a moving target, with one antibiotic being replaced by another. It’s impossible for any scientific study to show something doesn’t cause super bugs since it would need to test against every single virus. They can only show that they DO cause super bugs against a specific one.
Plus, again, completely unnecessary in the first place. We need to stop fucking around with things like antibiotics in soaps, new chemicals on nonstick cookware, new types of plastics in our food containers, etc.

Two minutes? Surely you jest? No one washes their hands for two minutes.
Lol, sorry I recently went to the dentist and the 2 minutes to brush your teeth was fresh.
Hand washing should be 20 seconds of scrubbing after lathering your hands in soap.

Well most of them use an alcohol, and that can’t be stopped.
