Evolved by Nature Hand Soap Refill Review| Refillable, natural liquid hand soap

We tried Evolved By Nature’s hand soap for 2 weeks, and here’s what we thought…

The Top Line: Its a STRONG BUY! We really loved the experience of using Evolved by Nature’s Hand Soap. It smelled incredible, felt amazing on our hands (they really do feel more moisturized after!) and you really can’t beat this price. This product is really a win-win in almost every regard. This will likely be our go-to non-foaming hand soap from now on!


The Breakdown:

  • Cost & Products: $27.99 for 128 fl oz

  • How ‘Clean’ Is This? All ‘naturally-derived’ ingredients, sulfate free

  • Packaging: Comes in a gallon-sized 128 fl oz which helps with cutting down too many packages and shipping, but it does come in a plastic bottle, and it is in liquid form (which is heavier than hand soap in tablet form).

  • Purchasing & Shipping: We purchased on Amazon

  • Good to know: Their Activated Silk™ 33B is clinically proven to retain skin moisture—and we can confirm our hands really did feel much softer afterwards

  • What’s Your Impact? Reduction in plastic - refill your bottle with a large refill (cuts down on shipments). Clean ingredients, safe for waterways.


The Experience

Context: We have tried Cleancult, Puracy, Blueland and Method hand soaps.

  • We really loved how soft our hands were after using this soap — their Activated Silk™ 33B is for real!

  • We realllly loved their Lavender Lemongrass scent — sometimes, lavender can smell a little “chemical-ly” and this just smelled incredible.

  • We appreciate how large the refill is, at 128 fl oz, you can refill a standard soap dispenser 10x!


The Cost

We compared Evolved By Nature with other eco-friendly options, including Puracy, etee, Grove Collaborative, Mrs. Meyers and Seventh Generation, as well as a standard option like Soft Soap. We love to see an eco-friendly brand coming through as the most cost effective option!

Price comparison of Evolved by Nature Hand Soap versus other hand soap brands

The Good:

Really lovely scent (we got the lavender lemongrass)

Really actually moisturizes our hands (and they have a clinical study behind their Activated Silk 33B peptides)!

Not formulated with harsh chemicals, including parabens, phthalates and sulfates

Love the small spout - easy, no spills refills

Naturally derived ingredients that is safe for waterways & cruelty-free

Large refill size (128 fl oz) in a recyclable plastic refills a normal sized dispenser 10x

Incredible price point

The Bad:

Thicker consistency (while nice on our hands) make it a little tougher to refill

It is in liquid form, which means heavier transport-related carbon costs

Our Recommendation:

Its a STRONG BUY! We really loved the experience of using Evolved by Nature’s Hand Soap. It smelled incredible, felt amazing on our hands (they really do feel more moisturized after!) and you really can’t beat this price. This product is really a win-win in almost every regard. This will likely be our go-to non-foaming hand soap from now on!


We're on a mission to reduce our personal carbon footprint with small, hopefully easy, changes in our home to fight against climate change. This means we're looking for products that may be all natural, ideally zero waste, reusable or compostable -- while still being affordable!
