Softsoap Black Raspberry and Vanilla Hand Soap —

Hand soap is just one of those things that you have to buy. I usually stick to environmentally-friendly products like method or Mrs. Meyer's, but I sent my husband off to the store with the shopping list, so I wound up with a 7.5 fluid ounce bottle of SoftSoap Black Raspberry and Vanilla.

This is basically your typical hand soap: inexpensive, easy to find, mostly unpronounceable ingredients, and pleasant fragrance. Softsoap seems to make the same hand soap in 50 different scents, but their Black Raspberry and Vanilla one is a winner. I normally don't like raspberry or vanilla scents, but the combination along with some other fragrance notes seems to be an unoffensive fruity, floral, and fresh scent.

I wash my hands dozens of times a day... and that is only during the hours that I am not at work! I was worried about drying out the skin on my hands with all of the repeated hand-washings, but it all was fine. This is a lovely and moisturizing hand soap that also has the bonus benefit of being NOT antibacterial. I go out of my way to avoid antibacterial products, so I was happy to see that my husband brought home this SoftSoap Black Raspberry and Vanilla Hand Soap. I will definitely buy this soap again in the future. Recommended!
