Foam Hand Wash, Ginger Brgmt, 9.5 oz
Why I love this excellent hand soap:
-It’s green, non-toxic, biodegradable, and so forth. -The pretty bottle has a peel-off label, and you can buy eco-friendlier refills in big jugs. -It has an herbal, gender neutral scent that combines well with cooking smells if you want to use it in the kitchen. -It’s foamy, so my little guy thinks it’s cool.
Give it a go, you’ll like it.
