Triclosan isn't drying at all. It's probably one of the best commercial antibacterial agents around, and is used in almost everything. It's main competition is chloroxynol which is very drying, but cheaper. I think you'll be shocked at how many products use it. It's one of the active ingredients in colgate total toothpaste. It's also used in trash bags and even socks. I can get into it more chemically if you like.

I have hands on with this stuff everyday with my job, its great at its job.
