“In 2020, I noticed that my first grader was coming home from school with really sore hands from all of the soap and hand sanitizer being used. Teachers were asking them to sanitize before gym...before music...before lunch...before library, etc - it was too much for her sensitive little hands! After a month of it her little knuckles started to even bleed so I decided enough was enough. I knew that I couldn’t convince her school to reduce the hand sanitizing in the midst of a pandemic so I put Branch Basics in a little bottle on a string around her neck. Instead of using the hand santizer, she would simply just wash her hands with soap and water multiple times each day. Within days her hands were perfectly healthy and soft again. Her friends started asking their moms if they could wear soap around their necks too! Two years later, her school has Branch Basics hand soap pumps at each bathroom for the teachers and kids to use! ⁠ Now my daughter makes refill rounds on Mondays ☺️ We’ve come so far!”
