I've read that when washing one's hands, the primary mechanism by which the hands become clean is mechanical. That is, organisms are removed from your hands by rubbing and rinsing. But I believe that soap itself does have some antimicrobial action.
I assume that glycerin soap and regular hand soap are equal with respect to the mechanical mechanism of hand washing. Under that assumption, is glycerin soap any better than regular soap for washing one's hands? Is it a better antimicrobial than regular soap?
(Regular soap = soap without added antimicrobial agents.)
