I purchased 3 items from the Honest Company a few weeks ago at Target. For me, buying things like this is like shopping at Whole Foods. It makes me feel like a better person. Obviously, I am exaggerating but it does make me feel good for sure! Like I am doing something right for my family! I also purchase things like this because if you start reading all these blogs, articles, etc about what all we unknowingly use on a daily basis, it will scare the shit out of you. So my reasoning for purchasing this was two-fold. I will review each over time as I really use them.
My first review is of the hand soap. Here is the rundown:
Smell - Love it! They weren't lying when they named it Lemongrass. It has a semi-strong smell that fades pretty quickly which I think is good because you don't want to smell like perfume after washing your hands. The also have Lavender and Mandarin if you don't like Lemongrass.
Texture - One of my favorite things about this product is the light and almost silky texture. It isn't gloppy and thick like so many other hand soaps.
Packaging - Cute! Why even mentioned packaging? If you are going to have something sitting out on the counter it might as well look good.
Overall - I give it an A! I am not giving it an A+ because I am trying to figure out if it is a little drying to the skin. I switch between the kitchen sink which has Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day in Honeysuckle and the bathroom sink which has Honest. So the jury is still out on the aspect of skin drying.
As a side note - the only soap I have ever used that does not dry out at all is L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Hands & Body Wash. But - it probably has all the stuff in it that Honest doesn't. So you decide.
