Abstract

A non-antimicrobial soap was benchmarked against 2 reference soaps for microbial removal and skin compatibility, key factors in soap effectiveness and usage. The non-antimicrobial test soap removed more Staphylococcus aureus (P = .024) when applied to nonwetted hands and showed no difference in skin barrier function compared with the reference soaps (P = .736).
