foaming hand wash
foaming at the mouth, bad. foaming at the sink, fun.
foamy stuff. it’s just one of those things that everybody likes. kind of like marshmallows and puppies, but without all the calories and obedience classes. so pump, lather, smile and the next thing you know your hands are soft and clean. what’s not to love? especially when the formula is biodegradable, naturally derived and contains no dirty ingredients.
oranges. they’re great for juice, frozen desserts and cleaning. when we paired fresh oranges with a little zesty ginger, it resulted in this light, energizing fragrance that smells so good, you’ll want to squeeze it. that’s no pulp.
