The Dove Antibacterial Beauty Bar is engineered to achieve a 99.9% germ-kill rate while maintaining the skin's surface condition. Utilizing 0.13% Benzalkonium Chloride, this formula avoids the extreme epidermal stripping often found in traditional soaps. The primary surfactant, Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate, is paired with Dove's signature moisturizing cream (stearic acid/sodium palmitate) to preserve the acid mantle while eliminating surface pathogens.
This non-comedogenic formulation is suitable for those seeking to maintain skin hygiene without compromising the moisture barrier. While highly effective for body cleansing, it is recommended to follow up with lipid-replenishing products to seal in hydration. This approach ensures the skin remains conditioned and resilient after antimicrobial exposure.
