If you want a daily hand soap built by leaving out common irritants rather than adding synthetic fragrance, this formulation fits that brief. Since it's scented with essential oils like Aloe, Eucalyptus, and Lavender, checking the label against known sensitivities is still worth doing.
Buy on AmazonAt the sink, reading the label
Standing at the bathroom sink after a long day, you reach for the soap bottle and pause to actually read what's in it.
What's left out, and what's used instead
Instead of adding a long list of synthetic extras, this formula works by subtraction: it's pH balanced and drops parabens, phthalates, dyes, synthetic fragrance, caustics, chlorine, formaldehyde, triclosan and phosphates, scenting the wash with essential oils instead.
So the real question isn't what's added for fragrance, but what's deliberately left out of the bottle.
