The Greater Green Screen Rating

This score is a ranking based on how natural,
eco-friendly, and non-toxic a product is, and is rated out of a possible total 5 stars.

STARS: 2 1/2 stars out of 5 for naturalness
COMMENTS: This products does not get a very high Green Screen rating compared to Mrs. Meyer's other products. This is one of only 3 of their products that contains a half dozen or so synthetic chemicals that should have been left out because of the potential health risks associated with them. Nevertheless, this product still rates better than many of the typical hand soaps, especially antibacterial hand soaps that contain Triclosan (see The Problems with Triclosan), so it is still featured on out website.

Personal Recommendation

I have two things to say about this hand soap. First, it is a fabulous hand soap that smells lovely, cleans your hands fabulously, and doesn't dry them out. This is one of Mrs. Meyer's best-selling products, for obvious reasons.

The second thing I have to say involves the ingredients list. This is one of only 3 products manufactured by Mrs. Meyer's that uses a handful of synthetic chemicals, so if you are seeking to go 100% natural, I recommend you check out Burt's Bees Citrus and Ginger Hand Soap, a more natural option.

That being said, this hand soap stills fares better on a scale of naturalness than your average hand soap, which usually has 2-3 times as many synthetic chemicals that can pose a potential health risk to you and your family. So Mrs. Meyer's is definitely an improvement over many other hand soaps; I just wish they had gone the extra mile and used natural alternatives.
