Dr. Hunter of "Foundations of Colloidal Science" says that colloid behavior is very much affected by the presence of surface active agents, such as sodium laurel sulfate. To even approach how this works specifically with CS is beyond my knowledge. But it may not be beneficial if you get less CS effect with more soap. James Osbourne, Holmes

If incorporated into soap you may find that less is more, as far as using the soap. That is the less soap used, the more antimicrobal it is, up to a point. (IE. when using use little soap and lots of water). That is what we found in our studies of a similar this combination.
