Frequently Asked Questions

It’s also free from endocrine disruptors. Our eco hand wash formula is designed to effectively cleanse hands while being gentle enough for everyday use, making it ideal for families looking for a natural hand wash that’s free from harsh chemicals.

• Is Kit & Kin hand wash safe for babies, children, and pets?

  Our Kit & Kin hand wash is carefully formulated to be safe for the whole family, including babies, young children, and homes with safe exposure around pets. Its non-toxic, plant-based formula means you can wash hands frequently without worrying about harsh residues or irritants, making it perfect for everyday family use. And because we fragrance our scented hand wash using only natural oils, they’ll be safer for your baby and gentler on eczema-prone skin.

• Are Kit & Kin hand wash bottles recyclable?

  Yes! All Kit & Kin hand wash bottles are 100% recyclable and can be disposed of with your normal household recycling. They are made from 50% rPET (recycled plastic) for durability and 50% PCR (post-consumer recycled plastic), helping to reduce the use of virgin plastic. Pairing your bottle with our refill pouches allows you to reuse it multiple times, supporting a low-waste cleaning routine.

• Is Kit & Kin hand wash suitable for sensitive skin?

  Yes - our Kit & Kin Hand Wash is dermatologically tested, and gentle on sensitive skin. The plant-based formula is free from harsh chemicals and designed to minimise irritation, making it suitable for those with eczema, allergies, or sensitive skin. We only use natural essential oils for fragrance, avoiding synthetic perfumes that can trigger reactions, so it’s also suitable for people with breathing sensitivities such as asthma. We even offer a fragrance-free option that’s hypoallergenic and approved by AllergyUK, for extra-sensitive skin.

• How long will Kit & Kin hand wash last me?

  A 500ml bottle of Kit & Kin Hand Wash typically lasts around 3-4 weeks with regular use, depending on how often hands are washed, how many people are in your home, and the amount used each time.

• Does Kit & Kin hand wash have a scent or fragrance?

  Yes - we have two scents available in our Kit & Kin eco hand wash - lime & aloe vera, or mandarin & rosemary - as well as a fragrance-free option that’s hypoallergenic and approved by AllergyUK.  We use natural essential oils, giving a subtle scent without the use of artificial perfumes. The fragrance is designed to be fresh but not overpowering, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin, allergies, or sensitivities to strong smells.

• How do Kit & Kin refills work?

  Kit & Kin refillable bottles and cleaning refill pouches are designed to make your routine easy, planet-conscious and low-waste. Simply pour the plant-based, non-toxic cleaning product from your refill pouch into your original bottle and reuse it. Each refill pouch contains the same formula as the original product, so you get the same family-safe cleaning power without the harsh chemicals, while reducing plastic waste.
