Hand soap

Quick question, what does everyone use for their hand soap? I have the bomasense face and body wash but obviously don't want to use that, too expensive.  I just read on a blog post to avoid anti-bacterial and anti-microbial (I think?). So when I'm handling things like raw chicken what the heck do I clean my hands with?!

I asked Matia about this recently, she was a little vague on it and kind of said if I find something that doesn't bother me to just go with it.  She kind of said Dove shouldn't bother the bladder but it's  not exactly a natural product, so overall it may not be great.  I generally use Tom's of Maine soap and she seemed to think the ingredients in it were fine.  I also use Kiss my Face olive oil soap and haven't had issues, but everyone's different.

I have been thinking about this hand soap thing....
Do you guys bring your own handsoap everywhere? 
I tend to use the soap at work when I use the restrooms, but perhaps I should not.....

I use Method free of dyes and perfumes liquid hand soap.  I use Method cleaning products as well.  I order from iherb.com.

Did you ask Dr B about this in particular? I am always looking for safe stuff. I worry that the natural things are made with coconut oil. Do you use rubber gloves?

Deir, I have given Dr. B a list of the products I use (twice) and Method was on there, and she said it was okay.  I use gloves when using the cleaning products.

I have an extra bottle of BomaMed Body wash and lotion at work. If i am outside, i usually wash my hands only with water. I also realized shaving wiht the body wash is hard as it runs down with water, recently i've been using bomamed olive oil soap bar to shave, that lathers up more and works better.
