Trader Joe's Peony Blossom Foaming Hand Soap is a Must-Have!

Purchased (Unaffiliated Links)

If you shop at Trader Joe's, then on your next trip I highly recommend that you pick up a bottle of the Trader Joe's Peony Blossom Foaming Hand Soap. It is gentle on the hands and leaves it lightly moisturized, rather than stripped and dry, and it has the most lovely peony aroma. It is affordable at $2.99 for an 8 oz. bottle, and it is such a joy to use.

Overall Assessment: This is such a lovely hand soap that I plan to buy several more on my next trip Trader Joe's– just in case this is a seasonal item.

Trader Joe's Red Currant Foaming Hand Soap

Purchased (Unaffiliated Links)

If you shop at Trader Joe's, then I urge you to buy a bottle or two of the new seasonal Trader Joe's Red Currant Foaming Hand Soap. I bought a bottle when I was grocery shopping the other day, and it is the perfect embodiment of the holiday season. It has a wonderful red currant aroma, but it is not overpowering, and it boasts a luxurious creamy foaming lather that moisturizes the skin. Furthermore, it is cruelty-free and very affordable at $2.99 for an 8oz. bottle.

According to Trader Joe's,

Like some of our other seasonally scented soaps, TJ’s Red Currant Scented Foaming Hand Soap does its gentle cleansing with vegetable glycerin and coconut & olive oil-derived surfactants and moisturizes with a blend of aloe leaf juice and agave leaf extract. Best of all, it leaves behind the sweet, seasonal scent of red currant—a scent derived from real red currant fruit extract. You’ll find decorative, eight-fluid-ounce bottles of Red Currant Scented Foaming Hand Soap in our household products section, for a limited time. Lather up!

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Potassium Cocoate, Fragrance (Parfum), Glycerin, Potassium Olivate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Agave Tequiliana Leaf Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Ribes Rubrum (Currant) Fruit Extract, Citric Acid.

Overall Assessment: I love this hand soap, and my one regret is that I only bought one bottle since this is a seasonal item for the holidays. Hopefully they will still have them in stock the next time I grocery shop at Trader Joe's.
