Review on 🧼 Amazon Brand - Presto! Fragrance Free Biobased Hand Soap, 12 Fluid Ounces, Pack of 6 by Sarah Riekhof

Our family loves Presto paper products and when I saw that they make hand soap I was dying to try it. Presto Biobased Hand Soap is a fragrance-free hand soap that is free of fragrances, dyes, triclosan and phthalates. It is 97% USDA certified bio-based hand soap. For those who care about the environment, Presto's bio-based hand soap is cruelty-free, never tested on animals and comes in a 100% recycled plastic bottle. You will receive 6 bottles each containing 12 fl oz of soap. The bottles have a pump for easy dosing. As with all Revain products, if you don't like it, you can get your money back at any time within one year of purchase. You can do this by calling the phone number provided on the product page and Revain will refund your money, no questions asked. It's easy to get a refund if you're not satisfied. This soap is pretty hard on your hands. We bought it primarily as a bath soap, although we ended up using the bottle in the kitchen as well. We only used it for hand soap and found it very drying. After washing your hands with this hand soap, you really need to lather up with lotion. The soap itself becomes slimy and somewhat sticky. It doesn't feel smooth when you rub it in. It reminds me of rubbing in hand sanitizer. After rinsing the hands thoroughly, the sliminess and stickiness disappears, however, I did not like the consistency of this soap at all. I didn't like how the soap foams. I mentioned sliminess earlier, but this soap doesn't lather at all. Again, it's like washing your hands with hand sanitizer. I like strong foam soap. The pump on the hand soap bottle is terrible. Even if you twist the spout to raise it as recommended on the bottle, it has trouble pumping soap. Of the six bottles we had, one came with a broken pump, two pumps didn't work and one pump broke within a week. Ingredients: water; sodium coconut sulfate (vegetable cleaner); Decyl Glucoside (botanical cleaner); sodium chloride (mineral based viscosity modifier); magnesium chloride (mineral based viscosity modifier); Glyceryl Caprylate/Caprate (vegetable skin conditioner); glycerin (foam booster of plant origin); glyceryl oleate (vegetable skin conditioner); citric acid (vegetable pH adjuster); Coco Glucoside (vegetable skin conditioner); Aloe barbadensis leaf juice (herbal sensation enhancer); Tetrasoidum iminodisuccinate (synthetic preservative enhancer); potassium sorbate (synthetic preservative); and sodium benzoate (a synthetic preservative). The ingredient list of this hand soap is not perfect. Some ingredients are known to be carcinogenic, while others cause contact dermatitis and irritation. Sodium coconut sulfate is known to be irritating to the eyes, skin, and lungs. Decylglucoside is known to cause contact dermatitis. Glyceryl caprylate is known to cause irritation. Glyceryl oleate is also known. causes irritation. Aloe barbadensis leaf juice is a known carcinogen. Known as an allergen and toxin, potassium sorbate also causes sensory toxicity. Sodium benzoate is known to cause sensory toxicity. We were just not happy with this soap overall. I like that it's fragrance free, but I don't like how it feels on my hands, how it lathers, and how sticky it feels. We haven't bought a second bath after trying this hand soap.
