After 25 years of innovation, we've learned a thing or two from plants: they can clean up our world while being kind to our families. Seventh Generation plant-based Natural Hand Wash gets the job done with no dyes, no synthetic fragrances, no triclosan, and no phthalates. Our Purely Clean Hand Wash washes bacteria away from hands. When used as hand wash to wash away bacteria from hands, lather and scrub for 20 seconds and rinse thoroughly with clean running water. Life is complicated. Choosing a liquid hand soap should be simple. The gentle plant-based formula in Seventh Generation Natural Hand Wash is made with renewable cleaning ingredients that leave hands clean, soft and refreshed. Our Fresh Lemon and Tea Tree scent is derived from 100% essential oils and botanical extracts. Everything should be this simple.Seventh Generation hand washes are not antibacterial and will not kill germs
