Hand wash in glass

10 replies

Does anyone know of any hand washes in glass? We are trying to reduce our plastic use and have already swapped to soap bars but I would like one hand wash for DSs to use and for when we have tummy bugs etc! I've found some from Neal's yard which are probably really nice but they're so expensive. Does anyone know of more?

Haven’t found a suitable one in glass. I’ve opted for filling my own. But a big gallon bottle from Costco and fill up ceramic ones I bought. Bottle still plastic but lasts at least a year maybe more.

I do the same - ceramic soap dispenser and big economy size liquid soap. Not perfect but a bit better than lots of small ones. Or use small paper wrapped soaps as needed.

Can I ask why liquid soap?

Bar of soap on a magnetic holder by each sink, minimal packaging lasts ages.

Glass isn't environmentally friendly either. Use a bar

Hmm thank you all. Definitely hard to be perfect, I do know glass isn't perfect either, im just trying to do my best environmentally and for my family life too

Skip the squirt entirely and use bars of medicated soap for reassurance when there's a bug going round?
We just use Simple for everything, though.

I bought liquid soap refill bags. Carex do one and Simple Human. It’s not perfect but it’s better. I use soap in the shower and my bathroom sink but prefer liquid soap in other places.

Neil’s Yard liquid soap is in a glass bottle.

We bought glass dispensers and we refill them. We grate bar soap into water and heat gently until it's melted / mixed, then fill the hand soap dispensers with the liquid. Don't boil though or you'll end up with loads of bubbles!

Bar soap is just as clean as liquid soap but I didn't think it was as nice for guests to use.

Wow thanks @rogue1234 I'll look into that
