While I prefer to hand wash with bar soap in order to get the best clean, most people prefer the quickness and sweet smells of liquid soap. I have been buying what I thought was an organic hand soap, but in reality it was just a mostly green product as it contains sodium laureth sulfate, which can be an irritant for my eczema. Here are the results of my search for a new hand soap:

Dr. Bronner’s
Dr. Bronner’s was started by a couple of guys, one of whom used to work with Burt’s Bees but decided that they weren’t “hardcore” enough for him. They are hardcore enough for us. They just don’t have liquid soap, they have everything else as well.

Make Your Own
As always, the most organically friendly alternative, and you can use leftover soap bits. Only organic if you use organic bar soap, but we agree that using up leftover soap bits is equally awesome. Olive oil is a good additive for the cold winter months to keep your hands moisturized.

Olive Oil Hand Soap
A little too expensive to buy for everyday use, but a fabulous hostess gift.

Tourne Hand Soap
In the same pricey but pretty category.

Vermont Soap Organics
How can you say no to something called “Lavender Ecstasy”? You can’t.
