365 by Whole Foods Market, Fragrance Free Foaming Hand Soap Refill, 64 Fl Oz

I have been using this soap refill for years and love it. I also use the scented versions when this is out of stock and they are not very strong scent. But if you prefer no fragrance, then this is a great soap. Many reviewers are complaining it is watery and thin. YES, IT IS. It is SUPPOSED to be. If you don't know how foaming soap works, you do need a couple pumps of foaming soap but you are using a fraction of the amount of soap you would use (aka WASTE) with standard soap. Have you ever seen your kid pump soap in the bathroom? Not once, or twice, but three or four times? Well, they can do that with this soap and not waste it because it's half air in each pump. It's SUPPOSED to be for foaming hand soap. Don't get fooled by your costly regular or foaming soap. Buy this and have clean hands and SAVE money! My family has very sensitive skin and nobody gets rough, red hands from this soap. No problems.HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE FOAMING SOAP DISPENSERS FOR THIS PRODUCT:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PVFXSVC/ref=sbl_dpx_bath-accessories-countertop-soap-dispensers_B07Z8J57J7_0?th=1UPDATE ON REVIEW (August 2020): I recently just ordered this item and it was delivered with new packaging. I thought it was the same product, but it seems to have additional ingredients now including alcohol. Hm. Need to look closer into this and will update when figure out what has changed.UPDATE ON INGREDIENTS (October 2020): The new formula is now showing the ingredients. It has changed. A lot. One ingredient that was removed is PHENOXYETHANOL which is GREAT they removed that! However, if they only removed that, then this would be an amazingly safe hand soap (by EWG standards it would be golden). However, it is a completely different soap with a completely different list of ingredients. I will wait until the EWG rates these ingredients before continuing to purchase this. As other reviewers have noted, it does now have "fragrance" in the ingredients - and misleadingly states "(natural)" next to the word fragrance, which means absolutely nothing in terms of what is allowed and what is not. Do your research on what the word "fragrance" means on labels and what could possibly be in your product under that ingredient. In addition it now does have alcohol in it, which some may like, however I don't think soap needs it. If you are washing, you don't need to sanitize anything. It's overkill ingredient - not needed and dries your hands out.

EDIT April 5, 2025:It seems it needs saying. You must use a foaming-soap dispenser to get any value out of this hand soap.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I have tried a lot of foaming hand soaps trying to find one that is a good price and moisturizes hands. This Whole Foods Market 365 Foaming Hand Soap meets that metric admirably. It also comes in Lavender, Eucalyptus, Fragrance Free, Pear, and Mint. If you don't like one scent you have 4 others to choose from of the 5 in the collection. Some hate the smell of the Lavender; they probably should try one of the other scents, except this 365 product dries their hands, then that would be a massive failure.It neither dries my hands nor smells bad. Actually, this product healed my hands such that using alcohol-based hand sanitizer no longer burns and dryness is completely gone. AMAZING!

Lavender Foaming Soap in 64 Fl. Oz Size is very cost effective. Purchased this soap to be used with my automatic foam dispenser. The soap quality is nice and smooth, and it makes my skin feel extremely clean. Love the light lavender scent and it provides a lite moisturizing to my hands. Functionality is to provide improved quality, efficiency, and cleanliness. Highly recommend Foaming Soap and gives good value for price.

The scent is amazing! Perfect amount of foam when used with a regular foaming soap dispenser. Doesn’t leave my skin dry. The value is great.

Love this foaming soap, only thing I would say is it does not smell like lavender much but it smells clean. Would recommend!

Loving this hand soap. I prefer to use hand soap that has clean ingredients for my sensitive skin. However, those generally cost more than 3x as much as conventional hand soap. I had been using Everyone Hand Soap for years (EWG verified and reasonably priced for non toxic soap), but a 1 gallon refill costs about $35. Compare that to SoftSoap from Costco (EWG rating of 5/10) where 1 gallon calculates out to be around $10 – less than 1/3 of the cost. Although EWG ratings aren’t perfect, I’d at least prefer something without sulfates or potentially irritating ingredients added just for fragrance. That's a no go on SoftSoap. After recently running out of my Everyone soap, I decided to search around for a cheaper alternative.I discovered that both 365 liquid and foaming hand soaps have an EWG rating of 2, which is a green light, and well priced! Whole Foods doesn’t make a refill for the liquid soap unfortunately, but does for the foaming. I’ve never used foaming soap so I was a bit reluctant, but thought I’d give it a shot. After all, it apparently lasts 3-4x longer than regular soap. At the time of this review, a gallon of refill equates to $22.50/gallon (sold as $11.25 for half a gallon). Assuming that you only need 1/3 gallons of foaming soap to produce the same amount as a gallon of liquid soap, that's a cost of $7.50 for 365 foaming soap vs $35 for Everyone liquid soap. That's a nearly 80% cost savings. Aside from the price, I actually prefer foaming soap. I find it to feel more gentle on my hands since it’s not so concentrated. I’ll be ordering the refill solution soon and foaming hand soap dispensers also for other rooms in my home.A few cons that I can think of:- You can’t use regular soap dispensers for this. They need to be specifically for foaming soap. If you’re planning on buying nicer looking foaming soap dispensers to replace the plastic 365 ones, be aware that the selection of quality, durable and aesthetically pleasing ones are pretty thin. The only ones I found that I actually liked are noticeably pricer than traditional hand soap dispensers. I don’t mind though as they will pay for themselves in the long run.- If your hands get really grimy, you’re probably better off with liquid soap as it’s more concentrated. I’ll still have liquid soap in the house if I need it, but my day-to-day handwashing will be foaming soap.Some even more cost-effective (but possibly less desirable) alternatives to foaming soap:- Dilute castile soap with water for a non-toxic handwash. I’ve tried using diluted Dr. Bronner’s before as bodywash, and it was just too drying on my skin type. Plus, I didn’t like the watery consistency of the solution at all.- Buy a foaming hand soap dispenser, and add 4 parts water to 1 part regular liquid soap. I’ve recently read though that using tap water to dilute the soap can inadvertently introduce bacterial growth. Over time it can even cause mold to grow inside dispensers, so the recommendation is to use diluted or filtered water instead of tap. To be safe I’d rather purchase solution specifically formulated for foaming hand soap.Bottom line: If you’re looking for a very reasonably priced, fragrance free hand wash with clean ingredients that feels great on your skin, I’d recommend giving this a try. I’m glad I made the switch!

The scent is perfect for spring or summer. Foams nicely and the price is great for quality and quantity.
