Imagine this: a beautiful glass bottle perched next to the kitchen sink, the sunshine spilling in, reflecting off the bottle and creating a beautiful display of light like it's the first day of spring, all year round. The bottle is filled with lightly-scented lavender rosemary hand soap, the aroma pleasing everyone it reaches. The soap was handmade locally in Washington state, the bottle is refillable, and with each refill, you've planted trees and protected our oceans.
Sounds pretty lovely, doesn't it? Make it a reality today with this delightful hand soap, ready to call your sink home. It pairs perfectly with our lavender rosemary lotion, too.

Packaging + End of Life
Ships in a glass bottle with a plastic pump. When you’re running low, order a new bottle here, but select “Refill.” We’ll ship your new bottle without a pump, and include a return label for your old bottle so you can send it back at no cost. Transfer your pump to the new bottle, pack the empty bottle in the box, and send it back to us. We’ll sanitize and reuse the bottle.
Please note that the 32oz bottle is a refill only. There is no pump available for this size, and instead comes with a black plastic cap only.
Don't want the pump? Just choose the "Refill" option instead!

Great soap!
This soap is great! I love the refill option where you can send back the glad container and get a filled one. The soap smells amazing and does it's job well. I've replaced all the soaps in the house! Highly recommend

Lovely!
My family loves this hand wash. It is very concentrated, so you only need a little. Smells good and leaves my hands soft!

Lavender rosemary hand soap
Smells wonderful and cleans beautifully. I love the glass bottle too and will definitely reorder this. I’m a nurse and wash my hands A LOT so I’m picky about hand soap!

No more plastic hand soap dispensers
This soap smells so good and it comes in a refillable glass jar. I’ll never need another plastic dispenser again. Thank you A Drop In The Ocean Shop for giving me another environmentally friendly option!

The Smells
We use this in our kid's bathroom. First, this soap smells freakin good and makes it easy (and pleasant) to check and see if the kids really washed their hands. Plus, more times than not, the kids get just as much soap on their hands as they do the countertop. it's really easy to wipe up and isn't goopy.
refills to your doorstep
Refill > Landfill
It's easy to get your everyday essentials refilled, no matter where you live.
Here's how it works...
1. On your first order of a new product, choose the “New Bottle” or “New Jar” option.
This tells us it’s your first time purchasing this product from our online shop.
2. We’ll ship (or deliver) it to you!
If you’ve ordered something liquid (maybe shampoo or body lotion), we will include a plastic pump in your order.
3. When you’re running low, order the same product, but choose the “Refill” option.
We’ll send you another bottle or jar of your chosen product, and will include a return label in the box for your empty container. If you’ve ordered something liquid, the refill order will not include a pump.
If we're delivering your order instead of shipping, just leave your empties on your porch on delivery day (Tuesday) and we'll pick them up when we drop off your new items.
4. If you’ve ordered something liquid, transfer the pump from the old bottle to the new one.
Then place the cap from the new bottle onto the old one.
5. Pack the empty container(s) into the same box the new ones arrived in, put the return label on the box, and hand it off to USPS.
When we receive the empty containers, we will wash and sanitize them, and get them back into circulation to be used again and again.
