Triclosan and triclocarbon are the ingredients to avoid
Antibacterial soaps, disinfectants and antiseptics can result in more bacteria according to a blog on the MRSAid website.

Antibacterials can create conditions that allow bacteria to proliferate and spread.
When chemicals are used to kill off the susceptible bacteria, the surviving resistant ones have extra space to reproduce and spread.
