Our Customers Say It Best

★★★★★ LOVE IT!
“Absolutely love this product. It is NOW my favorite. It rids my hands of onion, garlic smells and also gets the ground in dirt (from working in the gardens) with a gently washing. No scrubbing needed and absolutely love the smell. Bergamot is my new favorite scent !! Thank you for the all natural hand soap !! ”
- Jen

★★★★★ Thank you! “Thank you for making a great line of products! My skin is very sensitive and I am grateful that it’s so gentle.”
-Tristen

★★★★★ Perfection
“Such a pleasant find! We have one in our powder room and are constantly told by guests they love it. It's not as sticky as normal hand soaps, and leaves hands feeling refreshed & smelling wonderful. My husband even asked that I find more because it's his preferred soap and he wants one at his sink in our master bath - and he's not normally a fan of anything scented! Thank you for a wonderful product!”

  • In 2010, I founded Common Good with a clear vision: to create safe, refillable products that I was comfortable using around my kids and pets. After a trip home to Australia, I was reminded that refilling laundry bottles was the norm. I returned to NY determined to combat the wastefulness of single-use plastics by creating a line of refillable household soaps and cleaning products.

    As a mother, I needed to know that the ingredients we used were non-toxic and safe for my family. When I started looking at what was in the so-called green products we were using, I was alarmed by the skin-irritating and hormone-disrupting chemicals I found in many of the so-called natural products I was buying. I worked with a chemist to create formulations that not only worked but complied with chemical regulations in the strictest markets in the world. With my background as a stylist, I also wanted these products to be as beautiful as they were safe.

    We started out of my Brooklyn home, and thanks to support from people like you, we’ve grown to be a trusted global brand. We pioneered the modern refill movement and continue to evolve our mission to eliminate plastic entirely from all our products.

    Your support and commitment to our vision mean the world to us. Thank you for being part of this journey.

How Does Soap Work to Clean Your Hands?

Soap works by breaking down and removing dirt, oils, and germs from your skin. Here’s how it works:

  1. Breaking Down Oils: Soap molecules have two sides—one that bonds with water and one that bonds with oils and grease. When you lather up, the soap traps oils, dirt, and bacteria, lifting them off your skin.
  2. Killing Germs: While soap doesn’t kill all germs, it removes them by breaking their hold on your skin and washing them away with water. This process effectively reduces the number of germs on your hands.
  3. Rinsing Away: The water-loving side of the soap molecule binds with water as you rinse, carrying away the dirt, oils, and germs trapped in the soap.

Our plant-based hand soap uses gentle, biodegradable ingredients to do all this without harsh chemicals, so you can clean effectively without compromising your skin or the environment.
