Lavender Liquid Hand Soap
What you're getting: One 12 fl oz bottle of sulfate-free liquid hand soap with a pump dispenser. Scented with lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil — softened with a light lift of citrus sinensis (orange) oil to balance the floral. Pure essential oils, no synthetic floral boosters, no fragrance extenders.
Scent profile — clean lavender, gently balanced: Familiar lavender softened with a light lift of orange. Floral, soothing, and never overpowering. The lavender carries the scent and the orange rounds it out. Briefly there on your hands, then gone.
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 oils 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. What we built around instead is a base of milder coconut- and plant-derived cleansers, plus aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) and tocopherol (vitamin E) — the two skin-care ingredients that earn their place in a soap meant for daily use. Hands clean. Skin comfortable. No compromises required.
