I had heard a lot of raves about method and my mother gave me some as a moving gift. At first I was stoked, smells great and worked wonderfully, more proof that natural products are just as good as conventional. Then I was reading the ingredients and realised it was more like only as good as conventional. The ingredient list stated that it had methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone- harsh chemical perservatives (first can cause chemical burns and it is a skin and membrane irritant, second is a neurotoxin).

In general I like Method, I like the green culture they've built aorund their brand, associating it with style and convenience. Refill is a great plus to me. It cleans well, it rinses off well. Smells nice too. However, too many ingredients are not "green", some of them being of health concern such as MIT and CMIT. I trust Eric and Adam, so I am sure they have a good reason for using them, and perhaps my health concerns are unfounded ... it'll be nice if they address this issue.

I would still use it if another manufacturer had not offered something better.

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's hand soap...but to get around the question, I would highly recommend the Go Naked hand soap, because first of all, who doesn't love a name with the word "naked" in it. And second of all, it's totally free of dyes and fragrance.

But on to the question of how it is as a hand soap...I like it a lot. It foams up nicely (but not too much) and doesn't dry out my skin. Not to mention, it definitely gets your hands feeling squeaky clean.

i have a green tea/aloe bottle in my kitchen and a sea minerals (blue) bottle in my bathroom. they both smell fantastic, are super economical (can get them at target), look nice, and foam great. highly recommended.

works well, reduced environmental impact. Available at Target.

Method is a nice soap- but it's not really a natural soap. I bought some in the past, but after reviewing the ingredients list, with its long chemically names that I can't pronounce, I will not be buying again. As I said above, Method hand soaps also contain sodium lauryl sulfate, fragrance, and coloring.

Dr. Bronners diluted in water works just as well, is completely natural and organic, and only costs a little more.

Cleans my hands well without drying them out. Has a nice fragrance that isn't feminine. It looks great on the counter as well. My 3 year old daughter loves the container and gets so excited about washing her hands after going the bathroom.

Love this soap. Way better than many of the regular soaps we have tried. Easy pump, bottle doesn't tip over, etc. Great and no harsh chemicals!

There are refill "bags" (soft containers) for the soap as well so you can reuse the pump containers.

It foams well enough, leaves my hands feeling clean and has a great, light scent. I still need to do some research into whether there are phthalates in this hand soap before I will buy it again. It is readily available at many stores, which is why I bought it after running out of our normal hand soap which I have to order online.

It's great soap, lots of great scents available and they offer eco-friendly refill bags.

Another great product by method! One of my favorite things about method products is that you don't need a lot of soap to get a good clean. Because of this the product lasts for a long time. They have some great scents to choose from also. My favorite is green tea and aloe. Smells great! Comes in a cute bottle for your counter also.

I love this product, even in the different fragrances and colors.

Works great, decent amount of lather and scent, reasonable selection, just wish it was organic!

Method Hand Wash is a great product. Like other reviewers have said, it smells great, and it leaves my hands feeling clean and not dried out like other soaps. The Method company is a great example of the idea that you don't need harsh, toxic chemicals in cleaners to be effective. You can be both fully clean and eco-friendly at the same time!

Method hand wash soap is really nice. Mine is green tea and aloe, and it's got a nice light scent. It's biodegradable and natural, and doesn't dry my hands out. Definitely good stuff! Plus they even carry it at Safeway, so it's easy to find.

I love the scents and that it doesn't have harsh chemicals!

I like Method products and have had a few of thier scented handsoaps. The green tea and aloe is really to strong of a scent, overpowering and stays on your hands this way. I prefer the bare naked now.
