Have you ever noticed the run-on list of ingredients in your hand soaps? Have you ever bothered looking? Natureclean has come out with a liquid hand soap that we enjoy and I have used repeatedly when the others fail.
Natureclean is a Canadian company that was started by a gentleman for his wife who’s skin would react to shampoos and detergents. He decided to use more natural and non-toxic alternatives and created a formula for a soap that wouldn’t make his wife’s skin break out in rashes. Since then they’ve developed a large line of natural cleaning products from hand soap and shampoo to vegetable rinses and dish soap.
Today i’ll be reviewing the liquid hand soap but will be sure to eventually review the other products available and see what they’re really like.
The ingredients include just a few: water, potassium oleate (a natural coconut cleanser), glycerin (a vegetable source) and sodium chloride (salt). It comes in two scents: unscented and peppermint.
The unscented actually smells strongly of the glycerin and the peppermint (from peppermint essential oils) does smell like peppermint but still has that hint of glycerin. The glycerin isn’t the most welcoming scent so I’d suggest the peppermint scent instead.
Like a lot of natural soaps, it doesn’t contain lauryl/ laureth sulphates that creates the foam we associate with a good soap. Unfortunately laureth sulphates and it’s derivatives have been cause of skin irritation, eye damage and liver toxicity. For those who need that foaming action, it does foam up a little and cleans quite well at the same time. I’ve had paint, cooking oil and even door hinge grease on my hands and it’s washed off quite well without any lingering smells of the dirt or the soap. It also states on the bottle that it doesn’t contain any petroleum ingredients, 1,4- Dioxane, PEG Cocamide DEA, dyes, perfumes or any other suspected carcinogens.
The bottle is pretty standard and a bit generic as far as liquid soaps come. It’s about 7inches high and 3 inches in diameter at the base. The plastic bottle is clear and the pump is a white hard plastic. The labels are either clear with black and white writing or for the peppermint scent it’s an opaque blue with white writing. They’re not the most friendly to remove so for those of us that like that clean, no label look, you’ll have to work a little harder to remove these.
Overall, I like this product. It’s reassuring for me to know that it’s all natural and doesn’t contain any toxic artificial ingredients that may cause irritation to my sensitive skin hands.
Try it out!
My sister asked me where you could buy this product and I totally forgot to add it into the blog.
ReplyDeleteYou can find it at any local supermarket, or if you're Canadian, any Real Canadian Superstore has it readily available in the natural health food aisles for about $6. Walmart also sells it for about the same price.
