Soap in eyes -- Harmful at all?

[MichaelRM]

Hello,

I wash my face with the regular Dial White Bar Soap, and quite often I find myself getting a little bit of soap in my eyes whilst washing my face.  I was just wondering if getting this soap in my eyes was harmful/damaging in any way to my eyes.

In case the ingredients are of any relevance, they are as follows;

Active Ingredients: Triclocarban

Inactive Ingredients: Soap, Sodium Tallowate, Sodium Palmitate, Sodium Cocoate, Palm Kernelate, Water, PEG 6 Methyl Ether, Fragrance, Glycerin, Sorbitol, Sodium Chloride, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Pentasodium Pentetate, BHT, Titanium Dioxide


Much thanks in advance! :]

Thanks a bunch, John.  I was out of town, so I did not have access to these forums in order to thank you.  Nonetheless, thanks!

No problem except perhaps some stinging.
