Hand soap

Mild hand soaps for children, with fragrance-free choices and no unnecessary artificial color.

Routine handwashing does not require antibacterial additives or a strong scent.  We favor plain cleansing formulas and consider preservatives and scent ingredients alongside the cleansers.  A good fit for the family is a soap children can use with thorough washing and rinsing, not simply one in a child-themed bottle.
