The Top Line:

Its a buy! We really loved the experience of using Puracy’s natural liquid gel hand soap. We liked that the consistency wasn’t too thick (easy to refill) and that the scent is relatively light. Most importantly, we appreciate that this is a sulfate free soap that is naturally derived and biodegradable. The packaging is also generally great — large refill bag means less shipments (less carbon footprint) and the very small spout makes refilling super simple (no mess!). Our biggest complaint - the plastic pouch isn’t really recyclable as it is labeled at a “7” 😔

The Breakdown:

• Cost & Products: $20.99 for 64oz refill pouch

• How ‘Clean’ Is This? All ‘naturally-derived’ ingredients, sulfate free

• Packaging: Large pouch means less shipments, but unfortunately it is made of a plastic that is stamped with a “7”, which isn’t very recyclable.

• Purchasing & Shipping: We purchased on Amazon, but you can purchase on the Puracy website directly as well.

• Good to know: The spout is tiny which is excellent for easy refilling. The consistency of the soap also makes it super simple to refill (not too thick).

• What’s Your Impact? Reduction in plastic - refill your bottle with a large refill pouch (cuts down on shipments).

The Experience

Context: We have tried Cleancult, Blueland and Method hand soaps.

• We really loved the consistency of the soap - not too thick so you can easily refill

• The design of the spout on the pouch is really small, ideal for refilling into a small bottle opening

• We like the light scent, and want to try more of their scents!

• Overall seems to clean very well, no complaints there!

The Cost

We compared Puracy’s natural gel hand soap with other eco-friendly options, including Gelo, Forgo, Petal, etee, Seventh Generation, Cleancult, Grove Collaborative, Mrs. Meyers and more. Puracy’s hand soap is very reasonable when it comes to price.

The Good:

✔ Light scent

✔ Low - waste

✔ Packaging is great for squeezing every last drop!

✔ Love the small spout - easy, no spills refills

✔ Great suds to get our dishes really clean

✔ No residue, rinses clean and cuts grease

The Bad:

✗ Super pricey!

✗ Packaging is unfortunately made of a ‘recyclable’ plastic that is marked with a 7 — which is made of multiple plastic types, which makes it more difficult to be recycled

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!
