Free & Clear Liquid Hand Soap
What you're getting: One 12 fl oz bottle of unscented, sulfate-free liquid hand soap with a pump dispenser. Built for households where fragrance is off the table — sensitivities, preference, or just not wanting your soap to compete with whatever you're cooking, gardening, or working with.
The Free & Clear difference: No essential oils. No dyes. No masking fragrance to cover a chemical base smell. The same plant-derived cleansers we use in our scented hand soaps, just without the oils. What you get is comfortable hands, nothing extra in the air, and a soap that disappears once you've rinsed.
How it cleans: Plant-derived surfactants — sodium alpha olefin sulfonate (coconut-derived), cocamidopropyl betaine (coconut-derived), cocamide DIPA (coconut-derived), and decyl glucoside (plant-derived) — lift dirt and oils from your hands without the stripping effect of sulfate-heavy formulas. Vegetable glycerin and aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) hold moisture against your skin while you wash. Tocopherol (vitamin E) finishes the formula — an antioxidant that keeps the formula stable and adds a small skin benefit on the way out.
Why we built it this way: Hand soap is the formula your skin meets most. A few washes a day adds up to dozens by the end of the week, hundreds by the end of the month. The wrong cleanser leaves hands dry, dull, or irritated by Wednesday. We started by ruling out what doesn't belong: sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which strips skin; sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), which can carry traces of 1,4-dioxane — a manufacturing byproduct the EPA classifies as likely carcinogenic in humans; triclosan, an antibacterial agent the FDA banned from over-the-counter hand soaps in 2016; synthetic fragrance, parabens, dyes. For the Free & Clear formula, we ruled out essential oils too — to give fragrance-sensitive households a soap that's clean, comfortable, and quiet. Hands clean. Skin comfortable. Nothing extra.
