Bubble Hand Soap

Bubble hand soap is a liquid soap made for everyday hand washing. It is commonly kept in a pump bottle by the bathroom or kitchen sink and used with water to wash hands before meals, after cooking, after work outside or whenever hands need cleaning. A small amount worked into a lather and rinsed off is the usual way to use it. At Dekenet Al Nes, a package-free grocery store in Baaqline in the Chouf, this hand soap is sold by the kilo from refill containers. Customers are encouraged to bring their own bottles or jars and fill up the amount they need, which helps cut plastic waste and single-use packaging. Dekenet Al Nes is a solidarity initiative started by a group of Lebanese young people to keep basic necessities within reach of families and individuals.
