Review: SoapStix Portable Hand Wash (+ a Small Giveaway!)

A few months back, I blogged about my hand washing dilemma when using the public restrooms at work, and several of you talked about similar challenges you had experienced.  I loved the suggestions I got, and I recently discovered a product that's perfect for anyone with this issue: SoapStix.  These are your basic liquid castile soap, packaged in a portable, refillable spray tube.  Sounds pretty great, no?

Product Description: Introducing SoapStix, a portable liquid soap spray.  Wash your hands with confidence wherever you go!  Avoid using harmful public soap dispensers or alcohol sanitizers.  Ideal for those times when soap is not available.  SoapStix is eco-friendly and uses Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Essential Oils to help repair dry skin.  It purifies skin by removing dirt, leaving hands soft and moisturized.  Fits in pocket, purse, back-pack, medical bag, briefcase, golf or travel bag...anywhere!

 Ingredients: Water, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Lavandula Officinalis (Lavender) Oil

 Price: $2.99 for 10mL/0.33 fl. oz

 My Thoughts: Assuming you're not using a chemical-filled, triclosan-laden version, I have nothing against hand sanitizer, which you're also likely to find in my bag, but sometimes you just want to wash your hands with actual soap and water.  SoapStix are a great option for those times.  They're available in three colours -  blue, pink, and clear - but the only difference is the packaging.  The actual soap is identical in all three colours.  They're super portable and fit easily in your bag, although I would say, at about the same size as a hi-liter, it's a little large for a pocket.  You can't get much easier than the spray top, and the soap itself does a great job too.  My one caveat is that I don't love smell.  It's a faint, almost muddy, lavender scent that I wish was either different or stronger - I'm not sure which.  Nothing that a couple extra drops of essential oil won't fix, I'm sure!

 The Bottom Line: SoapStix are a great option if you're looking for a portable liquid soap to carry with you.  The company also sells a larger, 500mL size of the soap, which you can use to refill the spray bottle, but I'm not sure if that's something I will purchase in the future.  I love the packaging of the travel size and the fact that it's refillable, but the soap itself wasn't a huge standout for me, so I'm more likely to just refill it with whatever other liquid soap or body wash I happen to already have on the go.     

GIVEAWAY

    I remember this discussion! Mainly because it's also a big bug bear of mine & these products look fantastic, kinda like chunky pens filled with liquid! Fantastic concept, even if I don't win I'll definitely be looking into these as they look so handy :)

    Oh many things make me happy! But, you know, I think it's the simple things in life that really count. Live, breathe, be :)
