US FDA Prohibits 19 Antibacterial Soap Ingredients
The US FDA issued its final rule on the Safety and Effectiveness of Antibacterial Soaps on September 2, 2016, following a request for manufacturers to submit additional information on the safety and effectiveness of antibacterial soaps, issued on December 16, 2013. The final rule was issued when no additional data was received, or the data submitted was not sufficient to support the monograph conditions for the 19 ingredients.
This ruling prohibits the use of the following ingredients:
• Cloflucarban
• Fluorosalan
• Hexachlorophene
• Hexylresorcinol
• Iodophors (Iodine-containing ingredients)

The US FDA has deferred rulemaking on a further three substances, used in OTC consumer antiseptic wash products, to allow more time for the submission of new safety and effectiveness data.
