I love garlic, but I hate the way it makes my hands smell. I usually give my hands a quick wash after I finish chopping any cloves [1] as I'm prepping dinner, but I could never really get rid of the strong smell until I discovered Kirk's Odor Neutralizing Hydrating Hand Soap [2]. This is not exactly a new discovery — the brand has been around since 1839 — but it's new to me. For the past few months, I've been using the Lemon & Eucalyptus scent in my bathroom and the Rosemary & Sage scent in my kitchen, and is it weird to say I look forward to washing my hands more than I normally would?
The soap has a natural, hypoallergenic formula that's free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, artificial fragrance, and harsh chemicals, which is something I personally care about as I strive to put more clean products on my skin [3]. It's extremely soft, and while I love the fresh scents, I like that there's a fragrance-free option too. You can find Kirk's in some stores [4] including Whole Foods, but it's also available on Amazon, which is even more convenient. Spaghetti night in my house is now even more enjoyable, thanks to this odor-obliterating soap.
