C4 plants—including maize, sugarcane, and sorghum—avoid photorespiration by using another enzyme called PEP during the first step of carbon fixation. This step takes place in the mesophyll cells that are located close to the stomata where carbon dioxide and oxygen enter the plant.
More information from the question is needed to be sure but I assume it would be that it is more effective than scented or moisturizing hand soap that is not designed to specifically kill bacteria.
