Handcrafted Eco Tab Hand Soap Refill Tabs, Pack of 4
Made as a refill tablet, this handcrafted formula combines citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, sodium coco-sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, and sorbitol. Each tablet makes one 8 fl oz batch of foaming hand soap.
Sodium coco-sulfate and cocamidopropyl betaine are the surfactants that produce the foaming wash. Sorbitol is also commonly used to support hydration.
Skin care engages touch at each step of a routine, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift surface oils, debris, and bacteria from the skin (Aiello & Larson, 2002). Moisturizing products such as creams, lotions, and balms add emollients that soften the skin surface and help hold in hydration. Serums, masks, and treatments are applied to specific areas of the face, and the pressure of application adds to the sensation. Applying any of these products activates C‑tactile afferents, the nerve fibers that process pleasant touch (Löken et al., 2009; McGlone et al., 2014). Slow, massage‑like pressure is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010; Field, 2015), and warmth and absorption add to the sensation as the product meets the skin.
Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.

Pairing Note
Aroma: Topical interaction paired with aroma becomes aromatic‑surface experience. Cultures combine botanicals with oils, creams, and hair treatments because aroma carries symbolic meaning, lineage, and spatial identity (Classen, Howes & Synnott, 1994). These practices persist because aromatic pairing strengthens emotional recall (Herz, 2016) and supports cultural continuity (Assmann, 2011).
