LION Kirei Kirei Foaming Hand Soap Refill, Fruit Scent, 450ml

Kirei Kirei is the best-selling hand soap brand in Japan, and the foaming version is the one most households keep by the sink. The foam format matters more than it sounds: because the soap arrives already aerated, there is no stage where you are rubbing a blob of gel around trying to get a lather going. That makes it far easier to get children to wash their hands properly, which is a large part of why the brand sits where it does.

Fruit Mix is the sweeter of the Kirei Kirei fragrances, a soft fruity scent rather than a citrus or a floral. The lather rinses away cleanly without the tacky film some foaming soaps leave behind.

This listing is the 450ml refill pouch, which is the standard household size. It needs to be decanted into a Kirei Kirei foaming hand soap pump bottle, since the foaming action comes from the pump head rather than the formula. Refilling an existing bottle costs less per wash and uses considerably less plastic than buying new bottles.

3.     Cut the refill pouch open along the marked line.

4.     Pour the soap into the bottle up to the fill line. Do not overfill.

Key Ingredients

Claims
