“The short answer is yes, as long as you don't have a skin condition like eczema, you can use dish soap as hand soap because the ingredients in dish soap are used in skin-safe concentrations,” Ford told me. “Safety-wise, it's no worse than bar soap.”
Solid soap bars such as Palmolive Moisture Care with olive oil extract can be used to cleanse the hands, face and body in the shower. Body soaps like this are very hydrating and keep the skin moisturised, soft and clean.

The Bottom Line
If swallowed, it can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. If splashed in the eyes, it can cause eye irritation. Dish soap should not be mixed with other household products as this can produce dangerous fumes.

Builders in dish soap that are found to be harmful to humans include phosphates, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), and diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA). They help to soften water and improve the cleaning power of surfactants but they can be toxic if ingested.
Use a nonabrasive sponge for delicate dishes or nonstick cookware. For other cookware, a scouring pad will make short work of burnt and caked-on foods. Brushes of different sizes are handy for getting water bottles and straws sparkly clean; brushes will, of course, work for everyday dishes, too.

Dyes – Often added for their aesthetic appeal on your counter, dyes in dish soap can contain irritating compounds such as benzidine, a known carcinogen. They have also been linked to many mood disorders, like hyperactivity.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, also known as SLS, is the ingredient added to soap to make it lather, and according to the EWG's Cosmetics Database, it's highly toxic. SLS carries a high concern for irritation of the skin, eyes, and lungs, as well as moderate concern for organ system toxicity.
Recommended soaps are Dove, Olay and Basis. Even better than soap are skin cleansers such as Cetaphil Skin Cleanser, CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser and Aquanil Cleanser.
