Today I
want to step away from skincare and makeup reviews to talk about something
equally related to beauty but that doesn’t get as much attention as it should. Hand
soap is so important to keep your hands soft, so I have rounded up my 2
favorite natural hand soaps to keep your hands healthy and clean.
I had to
deal with eczema on my right hand all winter long and using harsh, drying soaps
was not helping. This led me to trying out different natural soaps that are
fragrance-free and not full of harsh chemicals. Finding good options was
actually difficult but I love the two I picked below.
First is
The Green Beaver Company Cranberry Delight Foaming Hand Soap, this an amazing
product! It is free of SLS, triclosan and phthalates (among others) and uses a
mix of natural and certified organic ingredients. Unlike a lot of foaming
soaps, it is not drying at all and rinses without leaving any residues. The
light scent of cranberries is very pleasant and I love that you can buy big
refills of it. This is probably my all-time favorite hand soap and it doesn’t
hurt that it comes from an awesome Canadian company.
My second
favorite is The Honest Company Hand Soap in Mandarin, a refreshing gel soap
that smells lovely. The formula is super gentle, much like the Green Beaver one
it is free of harsh chemicals, and it really gets your hands clean. In the
picture you can see the lavender soap (the mandarin was out of stock), I really
enjoyed this scent as well but I felt like it irritated my eczema a little
(maybe it was the peppermint oil in it), though my other hand was just fine. I
think the mandarin one is perfect for the kitchen, it smells lovely (not
perfumy) but the scent does not linger or transfer onto food. It’s another
great product from The Honest Company.
The GreenBeaver Company Cranberry Delight Foaming Hand Soap is available on their
website and in select health food stores. The Honest Company Hand Soap inMandarin is available on their website.
