My Neighbor's

Details

The sink-side companion to the Wild Bergamot Body Wash — the same five-ingredient, synthetic surfactant-free formula in a sleek 200ml aluminium bottle designed to live beside every basin in the house. Built on the same nourishing base of regeneratively farmed California olive oil, Hudson Valley sunflower oil, California aloe vera, and Malaysian coconut oil, it cleanses hands thoroughly without ever stripping the natural moisture barrier — the fundamental failure of most conventional hand soaps used multiple times daily. Wild Bergamot essential oil from native Canadian Monarda fistulosa provides the defining character: a clean, grounding herbaceous-citrus scent with proven anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that make it as effective as it is enjoyable to use. Gentle enough for sensitive skin and children's hands. Free from synthetic surfactants, harsh detergents, and anything that doesn't come from the earth. A hand wash worth having on the counter.

How To Use

Pump a small amount onto wet hands and lather gently, working between the fingers and over the backs of the hands. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. For best results, follow with the Manuka Honey & Wild Bergamot Hand Balm or any of the My Neighbor's tallow balms to lock in moisture — especially important with frequent daily washing. The aluminium bottle can be refilled or recycled when empty.

Key Ingredients

• Olive Oil (Olea Europaea L) — California, USA — Sourced from regeneratively farmed Sonoma, California groves, this is the nourishing heart of the formula. Rich in vitamin E, squalene, and polyphenols with natural anti-inflammatory and emollient properties, it cleanses hands gently while actively preserving the skin's moisture barrier — the reason this wash leaves hands soft after every use rather than tight and dry. The highest quality plant-derived cleansing base available, and the most important reason this hand wash outperforms synthetic detergent alternatives for regular daily use.
• Wild Bergamot Essential Oil (Monarda fistulosa) — Canada — Harvested from native Canadian Monarda fistulosa — distinct from Italian bergamot — and rich in thymol and carvacrol with documented antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-calming properties. Provides effective natural antibacterial cleansing action at the sink while simultaneously soothing reactive or sensitised hand skin. Its clean, herbaceous-citrus scent is grounding and subtle, making handwashing a genuinely pleasant sensory moment rather than a routine obligation.
• Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis miller) — California, USA — A soothing and deeply hydrating botanical that replenishes moisture during cleansing, calms redness and irritation, and supports the skin's natural barrier — particularly valuable for hands that are washed frequently throughout the day and prone to dryness and dehydration as a result.
• Sunflower Oil (Helianthus Annuus) — Hudson Valley, NY — Locally sourced from the Hudson Valley and rich in linoleic acid, vitamin E, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Lightweight and non-comedogenic, it contributes to the wash's skin-conditioning lather and helps prevent the transepidermal water loss that makes most hand washes drying with repeated use.
• Coconut Oil — Malaysia — Rich in lauric acid with natural antimicrobial and cleansing properties. Responsible for the wash's effective lather and its ability to lift impurities, bacteria, and daily grime from the hands without disrupting the skin's natural lipid barrier or causing post-wash tightness or sensitivity.
