Concentrated Hand Soap Pods

Gelo's Pods Make It Easy to Replenish Empty Hand Soap Bottles

— May 18, 2020 — Lifestyle
To make their personal care routines more sustainable, many consumers are switching to reusable hand soap pumps and liquid refill pouches and Gelo offers a mess-free alternative with its hand soap pods. In Gelo's Hand Soap Starter Kit, there are enough pods to make four bottles of foaming hand soap, plus a reusable hand soap dispenser. After the initial kit has been purchased, there are pods that can be replenished on their own in scents like Cucumber Melon & Jasmine Flower; Lemon Basil & Geranium or even Clean & Dye-Free.

As the pods contain highly concentrated plant-based ingredients, they only need to be activated with water. Some of these nourishing ingredients include skin-conditioning shea oil but none of the fillers often included in traditional hand soaps.
