Recently we ran out of hand soap in the bathroom. The other person in my abode is a big fan of Method Foaming Hand Soap which is totally cool if you aren't a complete and total soap snob. Also, Method contains SLS and we all know I am not a fan of that. While SLS is certainly not the devil, I do find one thing I contained on the Method Web site interesting. It lists the ingredients and notes the following with regards to SLS and it's "Health + Environmental Summary": "low skin irritation in use and non toxic; readily biodegradable; derived from coconut oil." I'm fairly certain that this cannot be patently UNTRUE or the legal team for Method wouldn't let them post it on the site. All up, however, it isn't what I want for my family. So I convinced my co-decision maker to let me shop for some handmade hand soap on Etsy.
Thanks co-decision maker...
I came up with two that were nice, well made, reasonably priced, and had scents that were refreshing but not too feminine.
I'll discuss the second one when it arrives and we use it. But our first new hand soap is Citrus Basil Foaming Liquid Soap by the cleverly named Foam on the Range. Hailing from Kansas (The Sunflower State) all of the products contain sunflower oil, which is nifty.
Here is a pic from the Etsy posting of this soap. I will show you my pics as well but I think our friends at Foam on the Range are much better photogs than I:
The soap arrived and, after we finished up what we currently had, we busted out the Citrus Basil. I was instantly surprised by how clean the soap left my hands feeling. I know that Foam on the Range doesn't use harsh chemicals as their blog is as adamant about ingredient quality as any I've seen. But the lack of commercial detergents does not show itself in this product. My hands felt squeaky clean after washing.
The co-decision maker said he liked the soap claiming it had a refreshing scent that was clean and safe for a man but not too manly. We like this soap. We like it a bunch. And the price is so reasonable.
Here are some pics of the soap in my humble bathroom.

The bottle is cute enough to just plop on the counter |

I genuinely love the labels |

Take a look on my Pinterest page...last night I found a recipe for homemade liquid soap made from any bar soap you so desire. I am definitely going to try it as soon as I run out of liquid soap and can re-use a pump bottle. :-)
