Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to other unscented hand soaps, Mrs. Meyer's offers a middle ground between mass-market brands like Softsoap and premium natural brands like EO Products or Dr. Bronner's. It foams well but doesn't leave skin dry, unlike many conventional soaps. Its price point is slightly higher than drugstore brands but lower than artisan options, and the brand's environmental commitments (recycled plastic bottles, cruelty-free certification) add ethical value.

What to know before buying

Before purchasing Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Hand Soap Unscented, consider these points:

1. Check that you've selected the "unscented" variant, not the "sensitive skin" version (which contains a light scent).
2. Avoid contact with eyes—this soap is designed for hands only, not for use on the body or face.
3. Store in a cool, dry place to preserve the formula's shelf life (about 2-3 years).
4. Recycle or reuse the bottle after use, as Mrs. Meyer's encourages bottle return via TerraCycle in some regions.
5. If you're switching from a scented soap, allow a few days for your hands to adjust to the lack of fragrance.
