Method Sea Minerals Foaming Hand Soap Review

You know what I've been seeing a lot lately? Low Buy/No Buys for the 2025. Everything has gotten out of control, rent, groceries, insurance,  chicken prices etc. All the while social media is filled with vids like What to Buy on Amazon/Amazon storefronts etc, links to a Tik Tok shop so you check out at the click of a button. No thought behind what you are buying. Leads to a lot of mindless buying. I think my shopping habits are pretty OK. The only thing I tend to buy too much of are soaps/shower gels. BUT I always use them up within reason. The only other thing I buy, buy, buy is eyeshadow. But I've even gotten that under control. It's just a very interesting topic to me, and I have watched many a commentary on youtube about it. 

But back to hand soap. 

Method claims:

  • made with plant-based cleansers, leaving hands feeling soft, clean + sublimely scented.
  • made without parabens or phthalates.
  • cruelty free. tested by people, not on animals.
  • bottle (minus lid) made from 100% recycled plastic (pcr)

I usually don't review hand soap. Usually I use up back up bars of soap as hand soaps- plus I had a ton my parents left when they moved back so I had to get through all of that. I just now ran out so I picked up some Method. I LOVE, LOVE their all purpose cleaning sprays so I figured I should try the hand soap.

I don't normally buy foaming hand soap. I like working for the bubbles and lather. But I figured if I get this, I'll have another foaming soap bottle and I will be able to buy refills. Or even make my own DIY  foaming soaps.  

It works well though. And doesn't dry my hands. Which is important, especially in the winter. I've used  hand soaps that dried my hands out so bad they started flaking and looking so crusty and ashy etc. 

Most important is probably the scent. It's one of those fresh scents that reminds me of the Molton Brown Coastal Cypress and Sea Fennel scent. I haven't smelled that one in a long time, so I'm not sure how close they are, they are just the same type of scent. And this is easier on the wallet. 

Ingredients:

water (eau), sodium lauryl sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, citric acid, glycerin, sodium chloride, sodium citrate, aloe barbadensis extract, tocopheryl acetate, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, fragrance (parfum), blue 1 (ci 42090), external violet 2 (ci 60730).

Overall, it's probably not the best soap to get because you will use it up quickly and the plastic bottles can build up. But it does come in refills, which is the equivalent of 3 bottles and 35% less plastic. It's not my favorite hand soap scent so it's not a repurchase for me but I would try out their other scents.
