J.R. Watkins Gel Hand Soap Refill Pouch, Scented Liquid Hand Wash for Bathroom or Kitchen, USA Made and Cruelty Free, 34 fl oz, Ocean Breeze, 6 Pack

Life Hack for the Win!So I prefer the foam soaps over the liquid soaps, probably mostly because I have a ton of those foam soap dispensers leftover from a local store's Black Friday Sale and I hate to throw functional things away when I can reuse them. Okay probably also how you'll see me on an episode of hoarders one day.I digress.So I recently came into an issue with refilling them, the foam soap was sold out online and I'm one of those scroodgy people who looks for a deal. So I found this like 3000 bags of handsoap deal (okay, it's like a pack of 6 34 ounce bags but good god it's a lot of soap). But I do not have liquid hand soap dispensers.Oh boy.Guess what I did?I took a liquid measuring cup and added 1/4 cup of soap and 3/4 cups of water (be careful on your flow rate of adding the water, you don't want foam yet). You could probably do the water first and then add the soap but I didn't know what I was doing.Give it a good stir to get the soap off the bottom and sides but again avoid making foam.Pour this solution into your old foam dispenser and then swirl it in your hands fairly vigorously (don't shake it, SWIRL it) to mix the solution. If it's not mixed, you'll see it moving around in the bottle and it will not work right when you push on the dispenser. So this is very important. If you can see into the bottle and see the soap moving around in the water, it's not mixed yet. When you can look into the bottle and see nothing but what appears to be liquid and nothing moving in the liquid, you've got it mixed right.Now pump it a few times to get it through the dispenser and boom, you got soap for 1/4 the price.Why the heck have I been paying more for 1/4 of the soap???? Why???? I feel dumb but now you can learn from my dumb.AND THIS SOAP SMELLS AMAZING and it works great for washing my hands without drying them out. Win-win!

I love the lemon smell. It’s not overpowering, just light and refreshing and doesn’t linger. The ingredient list is better than a lot of mass market soaps. I’m sensitive to smells/chemicals so this is important to me.I noticed a few reviews about lack of lather. Some of the less desirable ingredients that I’m trying to avoid (and are not in this product) help with extra lathering.The product description proudly describes what it does not include. I appreciate that.This is a non antibacterial soap which I preferI found the refill six pack to be economical and less of a strain on the environment as a plus. The soft sided bags are sturdy enough to hold the liquid, (unless your 120 pound Great Dane has chewed the end off the package ..... please don’t ask me how I know this). The small round plastic pour spout is easy to use and prevents messes when refilling my larger bottle.

What can I say, its soap. It smells great, is a great value, simply just fill up your old bottles. I really do appreciate how the company is coming up with different container sizes that pack down the more you use it, no one likes having a huge bottle with 10% product left in it you dont want to throw away, yet those bottles take up so much space!Pretty much has been my go-to for soap fillups for the past two yearsWould recommend to friends & family, 5/5

It is good, not a typical soap smell, but nothing to complain about in the slightest as far as I am concerned. A previous reviewer complained about it smelling like men’s cologne and the packaging seemed askew: I guess it could sort of snell like that but not heavily or cheap, just reminiscent as in “that peppermint candle smells like Christmas” instead of “that lemon lime candy tastes like floor cleaner.” I have a craaaszzy olfactory system that totally bugs on unnatural scents or overbearing ones, but when my kid proves he’s cleaned his hands with the whiff check, it smells good & clean, and not like every other soap. I’m good with that and not having ridiculous packaging or waste.

I bought this early in the pandemic when I could not find hand soap refills anywhere. JRWatkins products are always great. The scent is very minimal, almost subtle, which I like. My husband thought I was crazy to get so much at once, but the per ounce price was a big factor in my decision.I actually gave one pouch to my daughter another to my son for their homes. I have one upstairs and one downstairs so I don’t have to search every time a dispenser needs to be replenished. I took one to work because the hand soap there left my hands sticky. Everyone thanked me.With all the hand washing going on now, this soap is the best. It lathers well, leaves no residue, doesn’t dry my hands or make me sneeze. It also doesn’t clog any dispenser I have, which some soaps do.And it is very cost effective!

I like the Eco friendly bags to refill my containers. Smells great.

I have 4 touchless soap dispensers in our home, 2 different brands and had a hard time finding a soap that was thick enough to dispense easily and not too thin that just feels like water in your hand, which makes washing up not so nice.Nice choice of fragrances (I like the lemon best), packets are large enough to last a long time and easy to refill my soap dispensers.

I am a huge fan of this brand of soap. I like the clean ingredients & this smell is divine, not over powering its perfect!

Like this soap. Good quality

Getting used to it now but wouldn't buy again. Does not compare with the original for scent and texture - no trace of lavender but getting used to it.

I love all Watkins products.Hardly have to use any soap.
