The Top Line: EC30’s zero waste hand wash is INSANELY expensive. It’s smells great, foams and lathers up great, but it will literally break your bank. We cannot recommend for everyday use — but perhaps it can be used for travel.

The Breakdown:

• Cost & Products: $19.00 for 60 ‘swatches’

• Packaging: Compostable packaging, plastic free.

• Purchasing & Shipping: Easy DTC purchasing process, no complaints!

• Good to know: They have a lot of trial kits / bundles — we purchased the Home Care Trial Kit.

• Extra Info: For those that are sensitive to scents, please note that the scent is fairly strong. But we liked it!

• What’s Your Impact? No plastic, compostable packaging, and no liquids (which means lighter shipping, less carbon footprint). We like!

The Experience

Context: We currently use Blueland’s foaming hand soap as well as various bar soaps (which technically is the most zero waste.

• The swatches are very cute and lathers up nicely into a rich foam

• Smells lovely (though some folks may think it is too strong)

• Cleans well and hands don’t feel too dry after wash

The Cost

We compared EC30’s zero waste hand wash with other zero-waste or ‘greener’ hand soaps — including Blueland, Cleancult, Meyer’s and Seventh Generation:

Money Report: The pricing for EC30’s hand wash is absurd.

The Good:

✔ Pre-measured swatches reduce overuse of soap (which most people are guilty of)

✔ Zero waste packaging and product

✔ Great clean scent (not light though for those that don’t like scent)!

✔ Zero waste packaging and product

✔ Could be a nice travel product.

The Bad:

✗ OMG the price.

✗ Scent might be too strong for some people.

Our Recommendation: EC30’s zero waste hand wash is INSANELY expensive. It’s smells great, foams and lathers up great, but it will literally break your bank. We cannot recommend for everyday use — but perhaps it can be used for travel.

We're on a mission to reduce our personal carbon footprint with small, hopefully easy, changes in our home to fight against climate change. This means we're looking for products that may be all natural, ideally zero waste, reusable or compostable -- while still being affordable!
