⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Smells Like a Rose Garden, Acts Like a Hero Listen—this J.R. Watkins rose soap refill? It’s not just soap. It’s a luxury experience in a bottle that also happens to be saving the planet one refill at a time. The scent? DIVINE. Soft, fresh, and floral without being grandma-level overpowering.

Integrity. Natural ingredients. Wholesome, fragrant, flavorful. Competitive pricing. That’s what comes to mind for most who are familiar with J.R. Watkins. This wonderfully aromatic lemon soap that leaves hands clean and soft is just one of their many quality products. (As another reviewer said, their vanilla is also incredible, hands down our favorite.) There are two adults in our home, one works full time away from home, the other at home. We have a small dog, do our own landscaping, cook from scratch and spend a lot of time in our workshop on DIY projects, so we wash our hands constantly. We keep a dispenser next to six sinks - 3 bathrooms, kitchen, shop and the basement snack/coffee bar, and use about 4 gallons of liquid soap a year. Out-of-town guests a few times a year and those who come for an evening use some of it. That’s why it’s so important to have soap that doesn’t turn our hands into sandpaper. Anyone who uses it in our home loves the scent and the way it makes their hands feel. Without hesitation this soap gets my highest recommendation. Almost forgot - aside from the fabulous soap, the packaging saves in so many different ways and it’s recyclable! ***I have no personal affiliation with Watkins, family and friends included, and receive no form of compensation for submitting this review. *** Read more

Smell was to strong for me. Gave it away. But nothing wrong with it if you like heavily scented soaps. Read more

I’ve used this brand/scent for going on 10 years. It is very gentle, non drying, the scent is very subtle and clean. I have very sensitive skin and this cleans thoroughly and does not irritate my skin even in winter. Read more

This is hands down the best hand soap I have ever used. Always leaves my hands feeling clean without over drying, and the scent is clean and the PERFECT amount of lemon. I will use this soap until I can't get it anymore. Highly recommend to anyone who needs to upgrade their hand wash. Read more
