Dial Gold Antibacterial Bar Soap
The active is benzalkonium chloride at 0.10 percent.
Gold is the yellow antibacterial bar. Dial says it knocks out 99.9 percent of bacteria you meet in a household. Clean Rinse Technology is the name on the wash-off.
Henkel is the parent, with a Stamford, Connecticut office. The brand ties these bars to a palm-oil project in Colombia. Liquids come from West Hazleton, Pennsylvania, not this bar.
Leaping Bunny is the cruelty-free mark. The bar also skips SLS, parabens, phthalates and silicones.

Does Dial Gold Antibacterial Bar Soap contain dye?
