 How Does it Work? Pretty good. Not as good as some Bath and Body works soaps, but if you wash your hands the recommended 30 seconds you're in good shape. Most people don't wash that long, but you are supposed to. Is not anti-bacterial, but a common hand soap shouldn't be anyway. Softsoap and other anti-bacterial soaps leave a layer of tryclosan on your skin, since it takes about 10 minutes for that kind of stuff to work. So you wash your hands for dinner to prevent dirt and instead end up eating a toxic chemical. In the end anti-bacterial soaps do little more for our immediate health than a standard soap, while helping to kill off bacteria in the environment and waterways which are a necessary part of the ecosystem. This also contributes to the creation of so called "Superbugs." Effectiveness:  How Green is it? Coconut based surfactants make this soap about as green as possible. All those big words in the ingrediant lists are basically non-toxic chemicals used to make it look and smell pretty. It does contain methylisothiazolinone which MAY cause nerve damage, but this has yet to be established and the amount is in such a low concentration its effect is probably nill (and to be fair, this is pretty much in all shampoos and cosmetics). Anyway, its a heck of a lot less toxic than tryclosan. Greenness:  How Cost Effective is it? About as cheap as you can get. Same price as most soaps in the store. Available at many supermarkets, though best price seems to be at Target. Refills also available. Cost: Overall Score:  This soap is a real winner! Cheap, effective, easy to get, and with a pleasant scent too! Pick it up today! Image taken from Method's website Method Website |
