The Hand Soaps You Need Right Now

An undisputed champ of drugstore hand soaps, the Lemon Verbena scent from Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day is a playful—and much more appealing—take on the classic citrus-y fragrances typically used in household products. 

This cleansing gel smells fresh and sophisticated thanks to rosemary leaf, orange, and cedar. It's the kind you'll want to keep by your kitchen sink and buy over and over again.

Opting for waste-minimizing bar soaps is one of the easiest green swaps you can make. We like this chic cube from by Humankind, with its optional soap dish made out of diatomite—otherwise known as diatomaceous earth. 

This fresh-smelling hand soap is immensely popular on Amazon, where it currently has a 4.8-star rating from more than 1,000 reviews. It's made without synthetic fragrances, as well, using perfectly paired essential oils instead.

Another sleek bar find, Haoma's Earth Soap lets you treat your hands like you do the rest of your skin. Made from clay, rosehip seed oil, and activated charcoal, the rich bar is safe to use all over your body, including your face.

This hand soap is so ridiculously luxurious, you'll want to save it for when you eventually have guests to impress over at your home. You can choose from a few of Dior's iconic perfumes, though we love Lucky the most. 

With over 1,2000 glowing reviews on Amazon, this natural hand soap is the one to buy if you love the scent of peppermint and the cleaning powers of tea tree oil. It leaves hands clean, never stripped.

This decadent, lathering formula can be used on your hands or whole body. Either way, the formula gently cleanses and leaves behind the most refreshing eucalyptus scent. 

Blueland's soap isn't just soap—it's a whole experience. With the set, you're buying a reusable glass bottle plus soap "tablets" you drop in once you fill it with water. That way, once you run out, you just order more tablets online, minimizing waste and product travel for everyone involved. 

You know how just sniffing a Lush store is enough to make you want to wander in? There's a 99% chance you were smelling Karma. The gender-neutral scent is rich and spicy, something that's complemented by the scarlet color.
