Reviewer: Cinnamon KittenBrand: Life (Shoppers Drug Mart)
Name: Antibacterial Hand Soap
Size: 260 ml
Approx. Price: $2.99 CAD
Scents Tried:
- Aloe Vera & Olive
- Chamomile & Honey
To follow up on S.K.Y.'s review of Life Brand's Hand Sanitizer, I tried Life's Antibacterial Hand Soaps. These products remind me very much of Bath & Body Works, with the pump and foam-style hand cleanser and pretty colours, but the good thing about this is that it's currently available in Canada and the price is nice and low.
This product contains Triclosan, an ingredient "known for its excellent anti-bacterial properties that help protect against germs."
Available in both foaming and liquid variations, the 6 fragrances available are:
- Aloe Vera & Olive - Chamomile & Honey - Coconut & Papaya - Cotton Cherry Blossom - Black Currant - Mandarin Pomelo
To Purr About:
- this product did not dry out my hands, even with frequent daily use
- it kills germs and reduces the spread of germs
- lovely fragrance
- I love the foaming soap
- the bottle and colours are attractive
Claws Out:
- the scent is a tiny bit strong right after you wash your hands, however it fades quite quickly and isn't a huge bother
Final Comments:
Again, as with all anti-bacterial soaps/products, there's no way to know just how effective they are, however, I generally think it's better to be safe than sorry. That being said, I do find that if I use too much of any anti-bacterial product (be it soaps or hand santizers), the cumulative effect is that your hands get dried out pretty quickly.
So I do like this product because it doesn't seem to be as drying as some other ones I've tried and there's no super-strong alcohol scent either. Definitely a keeper! Can't wait to try out the other scents in this line!

stay away from the cherry blossom! =P
I wonder if the scent isn't as strong in the soap because you wash the product off, as opposed to the hand santizer, which stays on your hands...
