J.R. Watkins Gel Hand Soap Refill, Moisturizing Hand Wash, All Natural, Alcohol-Free, Cruelty-Free, USA Made, Lemon, 34 Fl Oz, 3 Pack

Integrity. Natural ingredients. Wholesome, fragrant, flavorful. Competitive pricing. That’s what comes to mind for most who are familiar with J.R. Watkins. This wonderfully aromatic lemon soap that leaves hands clean and soft is just one of their many quality products. (As another reviewer said, their vanilla is also incredible, hands down our favorite.) There are two adults in our home, one works full time away from home, the other at home. We have a small dog, do our own landscaping, cook from scratch and spend a lot of time in our workshop on DIY projects, so we wash our hands constantly. We keep a dispenser next to six sinks - 3 bathrooms, kitchen, shop and the basement snack/coffee bar, and use about 4 gallons of liquid soap a year. Out-of-town guests a few times a year and those who come for an evening use some of it. That’s why it’s so important to have soap that doesn’t turn our hands into sandpaper. Anyone who uses it in our home loves the scent and the way it makes their hands feel. Without hesitation this soap gets my highest recommendation. Almost forgot - aside from the fabulous soap, the packaging saves in so many different ways and it’s recyclable! ***I have no personal affiliation with Watkins, family and friends included, and receive no form of compensation for submitting this review. ***

This J.R. Watkins Lemon Gel Hand Soap is amazing! The scent is fresh and natural — not overly strong or artificial — and it makes handwashing feel refreshing every time. It leaves my hands feeling clean, soft, and never dry. I really appreciate that it’s alcohol-free, made with natural ingredients, and cruelty-free. The 34 oz refill bottles are a great value and last a long time. Definitely a product I’ll keep buying!

Good soap and value; only four stars because the lemon scent I got smells like the fake lemon in cleaning products. The first time I used it I actually had to check to make sure I didn't refill the soap pumps with toilet disinfectant or something (I hadn't, it's this). Otherwise the soap works great, the smell does not linger on the hands and I partially blame myself for not getting a different scent; lemon is often a fail in cosmetics and this is not my first day on Earth.

I have used this soap for years. J.R. Watkins gel hand soap has great quality, no question about it. And I like to use the lemon scent in the kitchen. But somehow the scent seemed stronger this last time I bought than what I knew. Not sure if it’s only the batch or if the product has changed. I just can’t stand it.

We keep buying more and it doesn't destroy my sensitive hands and they feel clean.
