Melon and Cucumber Foaming Hand Wash
The Melon and Cucumber Foaming Hand Wash is a natural, vegan and cruelty free foaming hand wash is kind to skin and sustainable. It’s PH balanced and contains natural ingredients to keep your hands clean and feeling soft throughout the entire day.
My Opinion
As a woman going through the menopause, I suffer terribly with hot flushes. This plays on my mind for when I am out. I need a deodorant that works and keeps me feeling clean and fresh. I have been using this deodorant this week, and had no problems, it does what it says. The only difference to my usual brand is that it is natural and environmentally friendly.
We go through a lot of hand wash in my home. We have not had a foaming one before, as with some soaps they leave your hands feeling dry. Which is why there is always hand cream to be found nearby. I did not notice my hands getting that dry using this. The rest of my family have not reported any problems either
I am definitely a convert, I am trying to be more eco friendly where I can. If I find new products that support this, I do change.
