Product Reviews by Experts
This hand wash really exceeded my expectations! Although it’s fragrance-free, it never felt clinical or boring. Instead, it has a lovely texture that cleans hands exceptionally well while remaining incredibly gentle on the skin. I was particularly impressed that it removed dirt and oils so effectively without leaving my hands feeling dry. It’s a beautifully balanced product that proves sensitive skincare doesn’t have to compromise on performance. Ecostore has clearly invested in building a genuinely responsible business from the ground up. I was particularly impressed by their precautionary approach to ingredient safety, their commitment to full ingredient transparency, and the thoughtful innovation behind their packaging, including the use of recycled and renewable sugar plastic. Their inclusive employment practices, charitable transparency and long-standing focus on creating safer homes all contribute to a sustainability story that feels comprehensive, authentic and backed by meaningful action.
This handwash is tough on grease and oily substances but super gentle on my hands. I have dermatitis which flares up in winter, so my skin really appreciates how gentle this handwash is. An effective choice for people who need their products fragrance-free. The length Ecostore has gone to ensure they meet environmental, sustainability and social responsibility has increased hugely since last year. I particularly applaud the implementation of inclusive hiring practices for people with disability and people who are minority.
Ecostore have dotted the I’s and crossed the T’s when it comes to producing a handwash at scale. The ingredients are traceable and plant- and mineral-based. Ecostore also researches ingredients thoroughly so you know you’re buying a good quality handwash at a reasonable price. I’m impressed by ecostore’s attention to detail around ingredients, labelling and setting sustainability targets.
