Day 5 of cheap thrills from Target: Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Lilac Hand Soap. "For many, the scent of lilac is the sweetest sign of spring - both clean and charming! This hard-working hand soap formula contains olive oil, aloe vera, and essential oils, that clean and freshen hands. These thoughtfully chosen ingredients create a non-drying yet softening soap for busy hands." $3.99 for 370 ml.
I have this in dish soap so while my hands won’t benefit from the emollient ingredients, my nose will from the scent!
Nice! A little fun while doing the dishes.
If anyone can weigh in on these Mrs Meyers hand soaps, would be interested in your opinion. Do they lather well, very or not too skin-drying?
Currently using Everyone Soap (as hand soap) in coconut + lemon–like the scent, but requires a lot of product to get a good lather.
I have the lavender hand soap in my bathroom and love it. It does lather pretty well and definitely less drying than the industrial strength soap I use at work. The scent lingers on my hands, which I personally enjoy.
They lather well, but at 20+ washes a day, my hands are dry and need lots of lotion.
Hi Galbanumgal!
I recently bought the Peony and the Lilac hand soaps. They smell good, in a natural, not artificial kind of way. They lather well and do not feel drying at all. I am very pleased with both.
I find them drying, but I love the scents. Then again, I find pretty much all soaps…especially liquid…to be drying.
We have switched to Mrs. Meyers (I am partial to the Rosemary scent) throughout the house. I wouldn’t say that it is moisturizing, but yes, it lathers well in warm water — not so much in cold — and is about as gentle and non-drying as seems possible. I will say that in the month that my frequent hand washing has been done at home, rather than with the nasty soap at work, my nails look better than they have in a couple of years and the couple of perennial dangerously rough spots on my fingers have disappeared.
I love Mrs Meyers and it’s been the only liquid hand soap we’ve used for years. I rotate through seasonal scents and already have this Lilac one. It’s not drying in my opinion, lathers very well and a light lingering scent is noticeable if I sniff my hands directly but it doesn’t really travel beyond that. MM is a good price for the quality.
I’ve used the dish soap but prefer a better grease cutting one and I’ve not used the other housecleaning products. Just the hand soap, but I’m a big fan. I’m in love with her Fall version of Apple Cider!
I like that one too. My husband doesn’t, but never mind about that 😉
Acorn is nice as well!
I was looking at this line yesterday and noticed there’s a rose scent out. I kind of kicked myself for buying blue Dawn last week when I could have bought Rose dishsoap but did wonder if, like you said, it has the same cleaning ability. I’ll admit that I like my household cleaning products to do most of the work for me, so that the elbow grease required on my end is minimal.
I’m always tempted by the thought of gazing out the window while I wash dishes – we’ve never had a dishwasher – smelling wonderful scents wafting from the mounds of suds but I speak from experience: blue Dawn is the hardest working dishwashing liquid on the market, and while I really like Mrs Meyers hand soap I do NOT like the dish soap. It costs twice as much as Dawn and doesn’t come close to cleaning ability.
Thanks, ringthing. I’ll avoid temptation, then 😉
I was in Target earlier this week, and took a look for Mrs. Meyers products. I saw some kind of cleanser, but there wasn’t any Mrs. Meyers hand soap left in the section that that hand soap should be in. I think that was in the afternoon, though, when a lot of things that were there in the morning have gone. If I wake up unusually early sometime and have other things I want to get at Target, I’ll look for that again.
