dish + hand soap – ocean plastic
Sea Minerals
let’s get plastic out of our oceans
not only does the naturally derived, biodegradable formula in our odor-eliminating 2-in-1 dish + hand soap pull double duty getting your digits and dishes clean, it’s also packaged in the world’s first bottles made with a blend of recovered ocean plastic and post-consumer recycled plastic. even cooler than that, the ocean plastic used to make these bottles was collected by method employees. true story.
what's that smell?
sea minerals
it seems like every time fresh + clean get together, something wonderful happens. uniting in this watery blend of bergamot, lemon + rosemary, with crisp marine notes is no exception. it’s like a mini-vacation to the seaside, minus the sand in your crevices.
