Q: I have purchased this refill bag twice.The first bag had a thick consistency like the normal soap dispenser. My second bag was full of water consistency. I’m not sure if the product changed or the bag has been tampered with.

submitted by Aimeef - 5 years ago
  • A: There are actually 2 J.R. Watkins products with very similar packaging, however one is "foaming hand soap" and the other is "Gel Hand Soap Refill" the one that is the watery consistency is the foaming hand soap I believe.

    submitted bymarbkl - 5 years ago
  • A: We have Gel Hand Soap and Foaming Hand Soap Refill pouches. Our Gel Hand Soap Refill is 34 oz, our Foaming Hand Soap is 28 oz. Our 11 oz Gel Hand Soap is pictured on the Gel Refill package while our 9 oz Foaming Hand Soap is pictured on the Foaming Refill package. To work correctly with a Gel pump, the Gel Hand Soap is "thicker" while the Foaming Hand Soap is less. My assumption is the second bag is a Foaming Refill

Q: does it remove bacon grease from hands?

submitted by waiting - 4 years ago
  • A: J.R. Watkins non-drying gel hand soap works into a soft lather for clean, freshly scented hands. We can't confirm specific food items but we suggest lathering our hand soap for 20 - 30 seconds to help address your needs.

Q: Is this soap anti-bacterial?

submitted by Screen Name - 4 years ago
  • A: No, it is not antibacterial

    submitted bySaunieindiego - 4 years ago
  • A: Our hand soaps do not have antibacterial ingredients (chemicals like triclosan, benzalkonium chloride, etc. are not in our products) but handwashing with non-antibacterial soap has been shown to be effective in preventing the spread of coronavirus.

Q: Is the fragrance naturally derived (from essential oils)? Fragrance/Parfum can be some of the most toxic ingredients and this product is being marketed as natural.

submitted by Frosty - 3 years ago
  • A: The lemon fragrance contains both natural and synthetic components. It does have lemon oil and other citrus oils. The fragrance complies to regulations (SB312/Prop65) and industry safety standards (IFRA); these regulations/standards ban substances that are toxic or harmful to people and environment.

    Great affordable hand soap! Accidentally ordered the gel instead of the foaming version, but found out its essentially the same if diluted 1:1 with water. Same thing for half the price? This is my go-to. Not sure what all the fuss is over the scent, smells like lemon soap to me.

    New formula? Smells awful. I hate to leave bad reviews but something changed with this soap, and now it smells less like lemons and more like chemicals. I won't purchase again, sadly. I used to feel like this soap was a splurge but not anymore.

    I'll say this, I used to love the fresh, lemon scent so much that I would actually use it from time to time to wash my face and hair! It was so CLEAN. I don't know why they chose to change the product. I emailed the company to ask them why. They didn't admit to the change, only apologized for my experience and offered a refund. But that wasn't the reason for the contact. Anyway, I DO hope there's a way for them to come to their senses and fix this. The soap smelled spoiled. I've been using this brand of soap for 15+ years, every day. Disappointed is an understatement.

    This used to be my go-to hand soap for our automatic soap dispenser in the kitchen, but the most recent one I bought smells terrible. I can’t stand it. I thought maybe I had a bad batch but based on other reviews others are noticing the awful smell too. Someone said it smelled like a dirty toilet and someone else said urine. To me it smells like poop. Super disappointed and will not be buying this anymore. Now I have to find something that actually works in this automatic dispenser.

    I have nothing negative to say about this hand soap! Been using it for years, love the way it smells. Perfect for the kitchen to counteract the garlic smell on your fingers. And doesn’t over dry either. Highly recommend! And it’s clear so if you have a clear soap bottle, keep that in mind.

    I discovered this soap after wanting a more affordable replacement for a Bath & Body Works lemon gel kitchen soap that I received as a gift. I love this product! I've been using it for years and will never switch! Great gel consistency to the soap, great smell, and overall great product. I love that it comes in these refill sizes. I just keep refilling the original plastic bottle I bought to try this soap, but you can also put in more decorative soap dispensers.

    THEY CHANGED THE SMELL! This used to be my go-to soap. The smell was always a nice natural lemon smell. Now it. Smells like a chemical created toilet cleaner. It's so bad I have to throw it away. Very dissatisfied and disappointed 😞

    This used to be my soap of choice. I've been buying this soap for 4+ years. However it seems the formula has been changed recently. The pleasant lemon scent has changed to a chemically clean lemon smell. Not at all pleasant. I'm also starting to suspect this is now aggravating the eczema on my hand- which it did not use to! All in all, I will not be buying this brand in the future and will be looking for something else.
