foaming hand wash refill
your bottle will never be half full
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.
coconut water
as a thirst-quenching hero, coconut water is right at home alongside athletes on jogging tracks + yoga mats. but this superfruit knows how to unwind, too. namely by hanging on a sandy beach, fronds fluttering in the breeze. just consider this light, tropical scent the best of both worlds.
