FDA says it's a hoax, so it will no longer be allowed.

Triclosan breaks open the cell walls of bacteria, killing them. But it takes several hours to do this, so it does little good in the time it takes to wash and dry hands.

How about body wash?

 

[CommuterBob]

Bodywash is gone too. Only products that will be allowed to use the terms antibacterial/antimicrobial are things like hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol and medical grade soaps
