Re: Biochem moisturizer warning

Years and years ago I was fed up with itching from Dial soap, but reluctant
to use moisturizer bars like Caress because I wanted to get that
antibacterial clean that you get from real soap.  I finally asked the
pharmacist if anyone made a soap that combined antibacterial and
moisturizers.  She thought awhile and said she couldn't think of any.  Just
a month or two later Dial came out with an antibacterial soap with vitamin e
and aloe. I've used that ever since.
