Also Palmolive Foaming Antibacterial Hand Wash Soap Lime and Mint Refill
Kills 99.9% of Germs, Dermatologically Tested, Recyclable Packaging, 1L $4.25 (S&S $3.83)
CamelCamelCamel.
I just use the cheap dishwashing soap (coles) and dilute it about 80% with a drop of food coloring. Works a treat!
Same price at Coles.
The subscribe and save (S&S) is what makes the deal here - cheaper than even Coles brand and free delivery too.
Pretty sure the lime and mint is only for the foaming types. This one is just lime. It smells different.
Edit: Your link in your deal links to the lime hand wash but the post has the foaming one (lime and mint).
Also
I get how that could be overlooked though, OP hasn't made it completely clear.
I recommend the other brands with no sls.
But it does not have paraben, phthalate etc.
Please do not use antibacterial soaps unless you need to. May promote the spread of antibiotic resistance and is no more effective than regular soaps in the majority of cases.

Totally agree. It’s a shame that most people don’t realise that these soaps are basically a marketing scam that’s making the world a worse place.
It’s depressing to me that it’s become very difficult to buy hand wash that isn’t antibacterial.
I’ve taken to using old fashioned soap instead.
i need the neautralize the shit stains on my hands
Literally from the first link you provided.
"Do antibacterial soaps promote antibiotic resistance?
There is no evidence that antibacterial soaps cause antibiotic resistance, but some scientists believe they may contribute to the development of antibiotic resistant germs. "
Nice going.
Yes, but why risk it when it provides no tangible benefit? Antibiotic resistance is a serious problem.
I just did a quick google search and chose some sources that looked reputable. You could choose any source really they all say much the same thing.
edit:
Here's a link with some more reasons if that helps. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/five-reasons-w…
I do agree that some of the science is not proven hence my phrasing - "may" - and in this linked article "Antibacterial soaps have the potential to create antibiotic-resistant bacteria". But it's really unnecessary and you might change your mind if you ever see someone being dying to a bug that can't be treated.
I dont really care what soap I use. Refusing to buy a product based on the fact that it "may" do something according to unprooven studies is silly.
Another example "Videogames may cause violence, so dont let your kids play them."
@Vinodra: There’s a point to playing video games. As for using antibacterial soap…
Anyway clearly this isn’t appreciated so apologies.
Edit: missing word
@BurningCubez: Trying to speak sense in here is a quick road to downvotes from the non-thinking brigade, and there's plenty of them.
@mickeyjuiceman: "People dislike it when you use the negative vote system to express your personal opinions on a product, citing a website that literally says there is no evidence of what you're claiming,
that must mean they are part of the 'non thinking brigade'".
This is so wrong. There are many types of antibiotics. Vinegar, lemon juice and bleach is by definition a antibiotic too because it kills bacteria but it can only create resistance to itself not the other type. For example baygon can cause resistance to baygon. Mortein can cause resistance to mortein but not each other. Likewise the antibacteria agent in handwash is not going to cause resistance to medicines or the strong stuff like penicillin.
Whoever modded me down type your rebuttal coward
Ok i was wrong about one thing citric acid is a nonantibiotic antibacterial while medicine like penicillin is a antibiotic antibacterial. But still, my point still that cleaning your hands with lime juice or wiping down the table with lemon juice is not going to cause antibiotic resistance because they do not work the same way as antibiotic medicines.
I'm just a little annoyed at how much packaging they use to ship it. I know it's to prevent leakage, etc. but yeah… dunno.
This is the Amazon way. Works both ways tho.
I dont mind if they use a box because i can reuse it but the bags just go into the bin and take a long time to break down
Just checked Coles and picked some of these up for $3.25. Easy done - cheers.
