Grown Alchemist Luxury Hand Wash Refill - Sweet Orange, Cedarwood, Sage, Organic Hand Soap - Natural Vegan Bioactive Botanicals for Sensitive Skin, Moisturising, Hydrating Liquid Gel Handwash

Lovely smell kind to hands but does the job well

This is my second soap from The Grown Alchemist. I'm always on the lookout for SLS-free soaps as I have very sensitive skin and tend to have nasty reactions for a lot of typical soaps. This soap comes in a plain white soft packet like a Caprisun. The idea is it reduces plastic waste and it states the packet is recyclable however nowhere local to me will take them for recycling - but they will take a soap bottle - which kind of defeats the point a little as I regrettably had to put this in landfill after emptying the contents into my reusable glass dispenser. However, I am very happy with the soap, it uses sodium lauroyl sarcosinate as a surfactant instead of sodium lauryl sulfate. Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is derived from coconut and is much more gentle on skin and isn't known for causing reactions. I certainly didn't react to this soap and actually found it very hydrating. I usually use Dr Bronner's and I actually prefer this. I may have to convert!

This hand wash has a pleasent, slightly sweet, fragrance, lathers well and leaves my hands feeling clean and soft without being dry. It has a clear slightly orange colour which would look good in a transparent soap dispenser. The fragrance does not remain for long after washing your hands which for me is a positive as I do not like having fragrance on my hands when eating. Obviously this hand soap (at £20 for 500 ml) is not cheap. I would say from a cleaning and non-drying point of view it is no better than Carex dermacare hand wash which is my usual go to for refills and is currently £9.60 for 3 litres. From a fragrance and appearance point of view I find this hand wash much nicer than the carex.

This hand wash is really nice. It has a pleasant, delicate aroma and it cleanses your hands without leaving a sticky residue. It is quick and easy to rinse it off your hands and they don't feel dried out afterwards. You can use it directly out of the pouch but it is difficult not to use too much, so it is better to decant it into a pump bottle. I have a nice ceramic pump bottle in my bathroom, so that's where this has gone. It fills it up more than once but it takes up less storage space once you've popped some into your own pump bottle, so space saving as well as being more environmentally friendly. This hand wash isn't cheap but it is a premium product, so you have to make up your own mind if this is worth the extra cost to you.

nice orange scent leaves hands fresh and feeling clean, I recommend this hand wash Pros - Pleasant scent - Clean feeling hands Cons - None that i can see

Same great product but a refil pouch. Easy to pour into a bottle and it refills the whole bottle. Perfect.

You'll need an existing pump bottle to use this. Smells lovely while using it but doesn't linger too much. A fresh scent, which is naturally herbal. It keeps my hands feeling soft and supple. I find that if I buy soaps that are too cheap they dry my hands out so much that I have to buy expensive hand cream; a false economy. I really do like this hand wash and appreciate the refill pouch to save using excess plastic, but I still don't think I would buy it at this price. My usual is £6 for 300ml (exactly half the price) which I already consider pretty pricey, so this is just too much for me to justify since it's not actually better than that.

This hand wash by grown alchemist probably has one of the best scents I've ever smelt in a hand wash. It's such a lovely combination of Sweet Orange, Cedarwood and Sage. Really easy to refill and contains 500ml which should last you a while as you only need a small amount at a time. The hand wash lathers well and it's a really good consistency too.

Spa feeling. High quality, subtle scent, unfortunately on the expensive side.

I love this handwash. I first used it in the lady's room in Crown Hotel and liked the smell and feel of it so much. So I searched it online and bought it here from Amazon. The lovely smell lasts for a long time and it doesn't dry your hands. I think buying the refill is a very good deal. Highly recommend!

Smelled nicely, but not sure if worth the money. I tried to find a replacement of my Aesop hand soap, but don't think this is it yet.

Überteuert und hat kaum gerochen

Wenig Schaum, trockene Hände, fühlt sich beim wachen ölig an Ich werde das Produkt nicht nochmal kaufen
