“ The information about the Thyme Oil active ingredient is incorrect, it is Thymol which is identified as moderately toxic by the Skin Deep Cosmetic Database and highly toxic by the Pesticide Action Network (PAN) The PAN lists it as a Bad Actor ... PAN Bad Actors are chemicals that are one or more of the following: highly acutely toxic, cholinesterase inhibitor, known/probable carcinogen, known...” --JRook
“So I have to admit...I do like the way "fragrance" smells (in particular the lavender soap and I did really like the cranberry spice scent they had before the holidays last year). But I'm not such a fan of endocrine disruptors which tend to lurk behind the seemingly innocuous "fragrance." I haven't done all the research into whether there are phthalates in Method...” --stins
“Thank you Huddler for bringing a new love to my life... I had previously filled our soap dispensers with the Dr. Bronners peppermint classic soap, and diluted it by half. That combination lathered really well, even though it was quite watery. Dr. B's intended hand soap feels luxuriously thick compared to my watered down home brew. It smells like lemon bars, and feels quite pleasant to lather...” --nitedreamer
“I'll be honest, I don't really know what "organic ethanol" means, but the ingredients in here certainly aren't as intimidating as a lot of other sanitizers out there. And similarly to why I love the Dr. Bronners, the essential oils smell great. Definitely doesn't leave my hands sticky or anything - great stuff. ” --Deej
“I love this stuff. When it's gone I just refill it with some water + dr. bronners. The bottle is good for 15-20 refills before it finally wears out and just won't operate anymore.” --HippieJazz
“I used the Lemongrass and Cleary Sage version in my bathrooms for awhile...until I realized that the soap is laden with preservatives including methylparaben and propylparaben. It seems like Nature's Gate is only calling this organic because of a few organic extracts - but that doesn't overshadow the fact that half the ingredients in this soap are synthetic.” --Lola
“ I've used this soap a couple of times when visiting my mom's house and I really, REALLY enjoy the scent. (French Lavender) I haven't tried any of the other scents reviewed below but I can say that the Lavender is nice. I find the soap to do a fine job of cleaning my hands (granted I haven't been finger painting or changing the oil pan). I'm actually a bit surprised to read the not-so-favorable...” --Kirbs
“I was totally hooked on this soap in many scents until I learned that it has 1,4 Dioxane in it. This is an ingredient that does not have to be listed and has come into great concern recently because of it's high carcinogenic properties. I have received numerous emails flagging this toxin and listing this product. It's a bummer cause it does work great and has a fabulous smell. Use with...” --omama
“I have to say from the start, this is not my favorite hand wash. First, I find the foam dispenser kind of weird, but that's just my personal preference. It does what it's supposed to do, leaves my hands clean but the smells leaves something to be desired.... It reminds me of citrus household cleaners (I have the orange/vanilla one) and fake vanilla scent. Not a scent I like on my hands (or...” --eris
“I just tried depth for the first time, and am a fan. It smells great, and cleans gently (i have sensitive skin). I also like the way it looks in my kitchen. I got it at Whole Foods.” --afinch25
