Equate Liquid Hand Soap, Clear, 50 fl oz, Compare to Softsoap® Aquarium Series Hand Soap

I use this particular type of Equate Liquid Hand Soap to make foaming hand soap because it does NOT contain skin softeners and lotions. If liquid hand soap has those, and some Equate liquid soaps do, they will not stay mixed with water. Instead they will always separate, making it useless for foaming. _______________ I like the gentle scent, which isn't too strong. It leaves my hands feeling moisturized - not dried out like, say, Ivory bar soap would. I just mix it with a ratio of 1 part liquid soap to 4 parts warm water. Then I gently mix it so as not to cause a lot of suds. A long handled wooden spurtle, or similar slim implement, works great in a one-gallon bottle. _______________ Don't buy pre-mixed foaming soap! It's a waste of money to pay for water, and creates bigger plastic bottles that will NEVER disintegrate in our landfills. Making your own is much cheaper and very EASY, and will at least minimize the use of plastics.

This is the only hand soap we buy. It cleans as well as any major brand, foams up nicely, cleans deep, leaves my hands soft as well. The refill fill size is a terrific value and the mild scent is not overwhelming. This is the perfect soap for any household. 5 stars from us.
