Is there a reef safe hand soap?

[Leaellynasaura]

I am somewhat of a compulsive hand washer and when doing maintenance on the tanks I can't help but wash up after having an entire arm in the tank. Often I have to get back in the tank and so far I have been hoping the GAC negates any negative aspect of soap residue. Is there any reef safe soap out there? I have been trying to just use water rinses instead of soap when I can, but I don't like the disgusting feel of salt water on skin.

I have not had issues with my antibacterial plain soap with no perfumes, lotion etc. I just make sure to rinse really well and dry well.

I just use plain unscented Ivory soap.

Dial Gold works fine for me.

There sure is, but you have to make a weak solution of it is sodium hydroxide, the other is baked baking soda, not baking soda.
I dipped my hands up to my elbows and some and rinse or dip into a 5 gallon bucket of water.
