I still battle with ocd a little bit, and as a result i wash my hands frequently. In the warm months i can get away with this, but in the winter time it can be brutal. While i don't use dr bronners soap, i use something very similar. Desert Essence castile soap with tea tree oil. Its one of the most gentle soaps i've ever used, and i've used many. I also like the fact that it has tea tree oil, which is a natural antiseptic as you said earlier. I was skeptical at first on how well soaps like this would work, because they are very watery. But they lather up great and i'd highly recommend them to anyone
