過去抗菌肥皂被認為比清水或一般肥皂能有更好的清潔效果,然而,根據大量數據研究證明,添加三氯沙的抗菌肥皂其效果並未優於一般未添加的肥皂,反而可能對人體造成更大的傷害,美國食品藥物管理局因此決定公告停用三氯沙。在臺灣,肥皂被歸類在化粧品之下,受化粧品衛生管理條例之規範。
Antibacterial soaps are claimed to be better than plain soaps and water. However, according to lots of studies, antibacterial soap is no more effective at preventing the spread of germs than plain soap. Some studies suggest that antibacterial ingredients may do more harm than good over the long-term.
