Are all hand soaps antibacterial?

No regular soap has no disinfecting quality's. Soap is an emulsifier. It brakes cohesion of grease and oil type molecules so they don't stick together basically. That is why it soap makes washing greasy dishes easier. To be a disinfectant it has to have an additive. In the bottle hand soap that is usually alcohol.
