gel hand wash – DESIGNED FOR GOOD
pink your sink + promote breast cancer awareness
at method, we believe in design as a force for good. it’s why we make products that are safe for people and the planet. it’s also why we’re using our DESIGNED FOR GOOD hand wash series to help promote breast cancer awareness. we hope that people will join us in showing their support for the search for a cure by committing to PINK YOUR SINK with one of our limited edition soaps. it’s a small gesture, but one we think can go a long way.

botanical garden
despite our grand desires, very few of us are lucky enough to have sprawling manicured gardens. what we do have is the scent of the botanical garden of our dreams, full of spider lily, water lotus, bamboo and lush moss. it’s almost as good as the real thing. except we’re still without a place for all our nude sculptures.

mimosa sun
sometimes you just need a day to lay in the sun, preferably under the swaying branches of a mandarin tree, but it’s hard to find the time to get away. now you can enjoy the same restorative effects in the form of a sweet nectar of orange, peach + lily of the valley. all without the requisite SPF-slathering to kill the buzz.
all of method's ingredients are comprehensively assessed by a leading research firm to ensure their safety for people and the environment. you can find a list of all our ingredients here. please contact us, if you would like more detail on an ingredient or visit EPEA.com to read more about the assessment process.
