My Sink's New Best Friend: Mrs. Meyer's Lavender Hand Soap Refill
Okay, confession time: my kitchen sink used to be a revolving door of whatever hand soap was on sale. But lately, I've been trying to be a bit more mindful about what I'm bringing into my home, and that includes my hand soap. I'd heard good things about Mrs. Meyer's, and honestly, the promise of a "cruelty-free and biodegradable formula" plus that classic Lavender scent was enough to make me click "Add to Cart." I was hoping for something that smelled nice, lathered up well, and didn't leave my hands feeling like sandpaper after every wash.
Unboxing Bliss (or Lack Thereof)
The packaging was… well, it was a big plastic jug. Not exactly a "wow" moment. It was sealed securely, though, which is always a plus. Picking it up, it felt substantial, not flimsy. The plastic is a pretty standard refill jug, nothing fancy. The label is clean and classic Mrs. Meyer's, which I appreciate. No surprises here, just a big ol' refill for my existing Mrs. Meyer's dispenser.
Living with Lavender: The Real Deal
This is where the magic happens. Pouring this into my dispenser was easy enough, no messy drips. The first pump? Ah, that scent! It's not overpowering, just a really pleasant, calming lavender that fills the air for a moment. It lathers up beautifully – a nice, creamy foam that feels luxurious. My hands come out feeling genuinely clean and surprisingly soft, not dry and stripped. I’ve been using it multiple times a day, and it’s held up. The only minor quibble is that the scent fades pretty quickly once rinsed, which is expected for a more natural product, but I do enjoy that initial burst.
What Everyone Else is Saying
From what I’ve seen, most people are singing the praises of Mrs. Meyer's scents and the gentle formula. Shipping is usually pretty quick, and the price point for this large refill is definitely a good value. Some reviews mention that the lavender can be a bit subtle for those who like a stronger fragrance, but for everyday use, it’s perfect.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lovely, natural scent; great lather; leaves hands soft; eco-friendly formula; good value refill size.
- Cons: Scent fades quickly after rinsing.
Who Needs This?
Honestly, anyone who wants a pleasant, effective hand soap that’s a step up from the generic stuff. It’s perfect for busy kitchens, bathrooms, or even the office. If you appreciate a subtle, calming scent and a formula that’s kind to your skin and the planet, you’ll love this.
