Oh I like tea tree oil.

Answer 2

Get a Tom's of Maine SLS free shop, and rub your hands well under water.

Answer 3

Univ of Rhode Island has a page up that says if you don't use soap at all, studies suggest that washing hands does absolutely nothing.  So it's important to at least use soap.  What kind I don't know.  What's SLS anyway?
