Introduction
My hands have been feeling a little dry for the past few months, and I suspect my drugstore handwash to be the culprit. I’ve always been a bit sensitive to chemicals, so I prefer organic products. Sadly, I’ve been too focused on skincare on my face and body I forgot that my hands also deserve the same level of attention. While looking for the perfect product, I stumbled upon the brand called Unapologetic and their Handjob handwash (yes, you read that right).
Vulgar name aside, this soap has a lot of bold claims. I mean, it’s 98% organic, vegan-friendly, allergen-label-free, nut-free, cruelty-free, and made with green energy?! I definitely have to check it out.
Join me, Emmanuelle, as I try Handjob in London. Let’s see if this soap can actually deliver or if it’s just a clever marketing stint with a pump.
What Is Unapologetic?
Unapologetic is the cool, effortlessly confident friend who always smells amazing and somehow makes sustainability look stylish. Based in East London, the brand leans into bold and playful marketing but doesn’t skimp on substance. They focus on natural ingredients, green energy production, and recyclable packaging. Oh, and they’re queer-owned, inclusive, and gender-neutral in their approach. If there’s one thing that my fellow queers know how to do best, it’s making skincare products that actually work.
Handjob Wash Review
A good hand wash should clean thoroughly, keep the skin from drying out, and offer an enjoyable experience. After using Handjob wash for a month, here’s how it measures up.
Formulation
The major selling point of Handjob is its 98% natural formula. Unlike some soaps that leave your hands feeling tight and dry, this one has a surprisingly gentle feel. My hand literally feels like a baby’s after a good wash. It contains ingredients like betaine, which is known to condition the skin, so even with frequent use, this hand soap will not strip your hand of moisture.
Fragrance
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love a good-smelling soap. Among the products I’ve tried here at Emmanuelle Jolie in London, this Handjob soap is perhaps the best smelling. It combines peppermint with dark cedar, giving it a fresh, almost cooling sensation balanced by a deep, slightly smoky woodiness.
Aesthetic
Unapologetic London clearly understands how design plays into experience because its bottle is sophisticated in the most gender-neutral way. It looks sleek and modern with a bold yet simple label. It looks refined enough to leave on the sink without clashing with the bathroom decor.
Overall Thoughts
So, does Handjob Wash deserve the hype? I’d say yes. The formula is gentle yet effective, the scent is distinctive, and the branding adds a bit of personality to an everyday essential. The only catch? The price. At around £25.00 GBP for 490ml, it’s definitely in the premium category for hand soap. But if you enjoy well-made skincare products and small luxuries in your daily routines, it might be worth considering.
Conclusion
Unapologetic’s Handjob Wash isn’t just riding on a cheeky name—it delivers on quality, sustainability, and aesthetics. If you’re looking to upgrade from standard drugstore options and don’t mind spending a bit more, it’s a great pick. Would I buy it again? Probably. If you have to wash your hands all the time, why not make it something you actually enjoy? Collaborate with me for an honest review of your products!
