This hydrating hand wash uses plant-based humectants and Vitamin C that draw dirt, oil, and dead skin cells away from the skin. All-natural glycerin helps to ensure that your skin will maintain its own moisture in order to protect it from damage caused by dryness. Washing frequently with non-plant-based chemical-based soaps frequently leaves your skin dry. Everything in our Healthy + Happy Essentials™ brand is soap-free and works with the natural pH of the skin to keep it in perfect balance.
