Please recommend hand soap

[TwoBees]

I'm looking for a non-antibacterial liquid hand soap that is NOT a foaming soap. Thanks.

[artvandalay]

Softsoap Milk Protein and Honey.

It's the only handsoap that does not dry out my hands. It is not foaming and is not antibacterial. I don't like to use antibacterial handsoap, either. You can also find the big, refillable jug of this. I've found it at Target.

We all have sensitive skin so I use the Method Naked soap (I do put in foaming pump bottles to make it last longer)

Trader Joes Tea Tree Oil handsoap. No SLS either.

By not foam do you mean doesn't make lather or isn't in one of those foaming pumpers?

One that isn't in a foaming pumper.

Another vote for Softsoap milk & honey. It smells delish.

If you want to spend more $$ Burt's Bees has some nice ones. I save those up to use in Winter only though, b/c they are expensive but don't dry out my hands as much as regular soap. When I find a bargain, I stock up.

Just wondering why non-foaming?

I have been making my own hand soap using Dr. Bronners castille soap & distilled water in a foaming soap dispenser (my ever-attractive Method ones). Its the only soap that really d/n bother my hands. Prior to them discontinuing it, I used the TJs castille soap (which I preferred).

I also use SoftSoap in the kitchen (the regular version in the large refill from Walmart) and it is OK, but not as mild as the foaming one I make. That is my one last refill to replace with the foaming soap in the house.

Oooooh this works well??? I know you can't put DB's in a pump because it will make little soap boogers that cause soap to shoot 8 feet across the room when they break loose - but does diluting it and putting it in the foamer stop that? I LOVE the almond...

In my kitchen now I have Mrs Meyers which is non antibacterial and not foaming.

I can't stand the smell of milk and honey because we used it when my son was a newborn and I was doing the neurotic first time parent constant hand wash ... so to me I smell it and I think sore raw hands and sleep deprivation...

Similar to Melissa, we use Dr. Bronners castille soap only in a regular dispenser and water it down some. I don't love the smell but it is okay.

we use Trader Joe's lavendar soap. Smells great! Not very perfumed, just mild.

[DrSally]

I have both the softsoap and TJ's lavendar soap.

ETA: And the castille soap (diluted).

Trader Joe's Next To Godliness, Hand Soap, Lavender & Chamomile. $2.99 for 17 oz. Last time I went in there I bought 10.

[Katigre]

Love the Trader Joe's soap with the purple label!

[MommyAllison]

We used Method for quite a while, then switched to Dr Bronners peppermint castille soap. We water down in a foamer as well.

[srhs]

We use pure & natural, also diluting in reused pump to make last longer.

I've been using diluted Almond Dr. Bronner's in my foaming pump for 2 years and it works just fine. I use about 1/4 soap and 3/4 water.

[WatchingThemGrow]

We use Dr. Bronners in a Pampered Chef Suds Pump.

[Nechums]

Another vote for Dr Bronners diluted in a foam pump. I add some tea tree oil in the kitchen pump for some antibacterial action, but I think it might dry my hands out.

[kochh2]

ALso love the TJ's lavener soap, as well as Canus goat milk soap, and EO lavender as well... I try to use the foaming pump, and it's hit or miss... sometimes it works well, other times, it's just a mess...

[robinsmommy]

Yep, Dr. Bronner's baby mild soap in a reused foaming dispenser. The first set of foaming containers had the "spring" die, so we're on set 2.
