Peppermint & Lemon Liquid Hand Soap
What you're getting: One 12 fl oz bottle of sulfate-free liquid hand soap with a pump dispenser. Scented with mentha arvensis (Japanese peppermint) oil — gently balanced with a subtle citrus limonum (lemon) note. Pure essential oils, no synthetic fragrance, no phthalates, no dyes.
Scent profile — cool peppermint, cleanly balanced: Fresh, cooling peppermint leads, gently balanced with a subtle lemon note. Crisp, refreshing, and clear — the wash that wakes hands up. The Japanese peppermint cuts cooler and sharper than common peppermint, and the lemon brightens it without tipping into candy territory.
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.
