    Regardless of the term "anti-bacterial" on the label, there are quite a few specific ingredients in this area that are banned in the EU but in wide use in the US. Two of your links are to products in the UK also, which has totally different regulations from the rest of Europe

    The term "anti-bacterial" is a marketing term. It doesn't indicate anything about the specific ingredients in a product. For example, triclosan and benzalkonium chloride are banned in hand soaps in the EU but in wide use in the US. Products in both regions can be marketed as "anti-bacterial" but contain completely different ingredients. You're willfully ignoring what I first said while falling head over heels for product marketing and implying I'm the one who's not smart lmao

    It has some to do with evolutionary pressure but more to do with water, surfactants and friction in the right application works very very well for antimicrobial purposes and the addition of antibacterial chemicals is potentially harmful to you without benefit(this is why both Europe and the US largely banned triclosan soap). There's nothing we'd really lose by encouraging resistance to things like alcohol sanitizer which works for most things, though. That works in a different way. The metabolic demands to resist that would include things like spore forming. That doesn't just appear in a plasmid with some selective pressure like antimicrobial resistance.
