Please read the following post for important information on how I’ve chosen my recommendations:
TLDR: Store-bought hand soap is a waste of water and money. We’re getting scammed.
Why you should care: Check the ingredients of your hand soap. It’s mostly water! All that water means a bigger carbon footprint when shipping. Plus, it’s a waste of plastic, which takes resources to make and then lives in our landfills and oceans. Gross.
What you should buy: https://www.shopetee.com/collections/hand-soap They have regular hand soap AND foaming hand soap. You can buy their bottle or just reuse a bottle you already have!
I like Etee hand soap for SO many reasons. They’re based in Canada so they’re not too far away. They donate to good causes. They don’t do plastic. They don’t test on animals, and use safe materials. They care about their workers and supply chain. Their hand soap doesn’t have a strong scent, which is great if you have smell sensitivities.
If you want to be even more eco-friendly, buy a bar of soap. But if you’re gonna go with liquid hand soap, this is your brand.
