I experienced a coup de foudre with Heliotrope liquid hand soap for the first time at Contramar, a posh Mexico City restaurant in Colonial Roma, years ago before the Pandemic. I was delighted to discover it was made in San Francisco because I live in DC. My family loves its lathering gentleness so much that when two of my children moved into their apartments, they brought home their empty glass containers to refill at home. That is when JP from Heliotrope intelligently offered me the option to buy the soap in gallon jugs . It is cheaper for me and it is better for the environment!
