C. O. Bigelow Bergamot Hand Wash 10.5 fl oz — Moisturizing Liquid Soap with Shea Butter & Aloe Vera

C.O. Bigelow Bergamot Hand Wash is a moisturizing liquid soap that gently cleanses while leaving a fresh citrus-wood aroma.

This 10.5 fl oz bottle from C.O. Bigelow’s Iconic Collection combines glycerin, shea butter, panthenol and aloe vera to remove dirt without stripping skin. The formulation produces a rich, quick-rinsing lather and is crafted to be mild enough for everyday use in kitchens, bathrooms, or at any sink. Its bergamot-forward scent blends bright citrus top notes with floral and warm woody base notes for a balanced, classic fragrance.

How does this hand wash hydrate without feeling heavy?

The hand wash pairs humectants and emollients—glycerin and panthenol—with nourishing shea butter and soothing aloe vera. This combination attracts moisture to the skin and helps lock it in, so hands feel softer after rinsing rather than tight or dry. The formula is designed to rinse cleanly, avoiding the greasy residue heavier creams can leave behind.

• Glycerin and panthenol: attract and retain moisture
• Shea butter & aloe vera: soothe and condition skin
• Light foaming texture: rinses easily without film

What does the bergamot fragrance smell like and how long does it linger?

The scent opens with crisp citrus notes of bergamot, petitgrain, and lemon, moves into a subtle heart of white florals, and settles on a warm base of vetiver, amber, musk and beechwood. It’s designed to be noticeable during and shortly after use, giving a fresh, layered aroma that doesn’t overpower the room. Because it’s a rinse-off product, the fragrance is pleasant but not long-lasting like a perfume.

• Top: bergamot, petitgrain, lemon for a bright first impression
• Heart: delicate white floral lift
• Base: vetiver, amber, beechwood for a warm finish

Is this hand wash suitable for frequent washing and sensitive skin?

Yes — the soap is formulated to be gentle on frequent use, with conditioning ingredients chosen to reduce drying. Free of parabens and cruelty-free, it’s crafted by C.O. Bigelow’s chemists in the USA to be appropriate for normal, dry, or sensitive skin types. As with any topical product, do a small patch test if you have very reactive skin.

• Paraben-free and non-toxic formulation
• Cruelty-free and made in the USA
• Gentle foaming action suited for everyday use
