kitchen gel hand wash
for freshly scented kitchen hands
garlic, onions + fish smell delicious in a dish. but on your hands? not so much. infused with citrus extracts, this naturally derived, non-drying gel hand wash eliminates stubborn smells and leaves hands feeling soft + clean, even after multiple washes.
lemongrass
while lemongrass is an essential ingredient in your favorite curry, it is also a close friend of cleanliness. which is why it smells so delightful. in fact, the original iteration of that “cleanliness is next to godliness” line was actually “cleanliness is next to lemongrass-iness.” but it wasn’t as catchy. (at least, that’s what we heard).
