The term “anti-bacterial” is a marketing term. It doesn’t indicate anything about the specific ingredients in a product. For example, triclosan and benzalkonium chloride are banned in soaps in the EU but in wide use in the US. Products in both regions can be marketed as “anti-bacterial” but contain completely different ingredients. You’re willfully ignoring what I first said while falling head over heels for product marketing and implying I’m the one who’s not smart lmao

FDA has ruled triclosan as not recognized as safe back in 2016 and is currently deferring benzalkonium chloride.
