Like what makes it kill bacteria/germs?
In: Chemistry
Basically soap molecules are divided into 2 parts
(1) : hydrophylic head part that sticks on to the water molecules and
(2) : hydro phobic tail that sticks to oil in your skin .
The hydrophobic end surrounds and stick to the oils and dirt containing the bacteria and the hydrophilic end sticks to running water thus removing contaminants from your hand. The rubbing of hands and between fingers will loosen up the dirt and help the soap in acting better.
Antibacterial soap might also take part in killing bacteria while removing them as well . But in both cases the result is kinda same , they both wash off contaminents.
