And the answer is…..

Liquid Soap!  The label also touts it as "natural" and with healing aloe vera. Let's look at the ingredients again:

Water, Sodium C14-16, Olefin, Sulfonate, Lauramide DEA, Glycol Stearate, Sodium Chloride, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Citric Acid, Fragrance, DMDM Hydantoin, Polyquaternium-7, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Tetrasodium EDTA, Glycerin, Silk Peptide, Hydrolyzed Silk Protein.
 
Ok, realistically, how many natural things do you see?  Remember dear readers, that your skin is your body's largest organ and it is your first line of defense against germs.  What you put ON your skin goes INTO your body and bloodstream.   
                                                                                                                                                
And if you are using liquid soap, I hope it is not antibacterial…..you may just be asking for future problems.  Applying antibiotics to your skin multiple times a day is an excellent way for your body to build up a resistance to certain antibiotics. The oils in your skin, along with REAL soap and water are all the protection you need to keep germs at bay!
