'Thankyou' the beauty of a social conscience

 Last year this brand name went viral. All over facebook were pleas for the major supermarkets to agree stock 'thankyou' products. Thankfully they did. For two reasons: 1. My feed is now back to dog memes... just the way I like it. 2. This awesome brand is now stocked at your local. 

And what does this have to do with beauty you say??? Well, the make a delicious hand soap- with a difference. 

The people at Thankyou realize something incredible.
Humans are the worlds greatest resource. Not coal, not oil, not gold. Look around, every advancement of civilization can be pinned down to the human brain and human spirit. What then begins to make sense is that if I am a human, lucky enough to be living in privilege that I could share my resource and maybe help another less fortunate than I.
But wait....We live in a concrete jungle, we're busy, we don't want to commit to 'a dollar a day' and ultimately we are living a selfish existence. We can't change the world from our iPhones. 

What we can do is continue our consumer driven lives with one change... Just add water...

Thankyou started as 'a bottled water company that would exist for the sole purpose of funding safe water projects in developing nations'. They've now extended the range to include muesli and a body range of hand-wash that support food aide and hygiene projects in developing nations.

I wanted to share a hand wash review because its DELIGHTFUL! 

I purchased Thankyou hand wash in Tonka bean & spring flowers from my local Coles. It was $6.95 or $7.95- I cant recall exactly. ball park.

To state the obvious, the packaging is really nice & suits the product to a tee. It's also a HUGE 500ml making it great value. 

The smell: of the product is subtle, it has a fresh, soft, orange oil fragrance that is not overpowering. I'd describe it as also having a 'natural' smell. When I say that, I don't mean grass and chia seeds... I just mean its not a fake passion fruit smell like other similar products on the market. If in doubt by my rambling descriptors...its fresh.

The texture: of the wash is really smooth and velvety, maybe creamy? It doesn't have a big lathery foam just a soft subtle bubble.

To Love: I really appreciate the commitment to no nasties! Below is the back label, a list as long as your arm of all the yucky crap in other products... but not this one.

Also awesome:  you can 'track your impact'. This particular bottle contributed to a hygiene training in a small Indian village. It's really meaningful to not just know that a contribution is made, but to also know where. I really think this feature is ace.

The other good points: Vegan (if that's what your into), Made in Oz & no animal testing.

So all in all: I will certainly be buying this product again and I would definitely recommend to family and friends. 4.5/5. go get you some...

Warm & fuzzy:

By adding a few items to your grocery list or swapping out the brand you normally use, a sharing of resources can happen. Thankyou make it incredibly easy to give back and help global communities in need.
