Reviews from the H-E-B Beauty Panel:

"The scent combinations of the Orchid line are amazing! My absolute favorite is the Jasmine Tea & Basil. It's refreshing without being overpowering. I used the foam soap for my kids.
It makes hand-washing more fun for them. I kept the 2 oz. hand sanitizer in my purse, which I found myself using more often since I had it handy. BONUS, my hands were clean AND they smelled awesome!" -Julie, H-E-B Advertising Account Manager

"I have become a religious user of the Jasmine Tea & Basil hand sanitizer. The scent is very unique and leaves your hands feeling clean without smelling like a candy shop. I offer it up to my friends and they are instantly hooked. I recently ran out of this and had to use backup of a similar 'Bath & Body' product. The Orchid scent is very sophisticated and the price/size are more realistic for multiple uses. Seriously, the Jasmine Tea & Basil scent is my favorite! I want it in a candle and body lotion." -Stacey, H-E-B Beauty Buyer

"I'm one of those people who needs to use hand lotion after every time I wash my hands. Lots of soaps dry out my skin. Orchid Hand Soaps and Sanitizers were different. My hands felt clean and moisturized. I really loved the Cactus Flower & Mango bead soap. It was a light exfoliate and massage for my hands every time I washed. I can't tell you how happy I am now that I can get fancy foaming hand soap without a trip to the mall." -Jenina, heb.com Associate Editor

"I really like the Orchid hand soaps, they leave your hands clean, soft and moisturized—No need for lotion afterwards. I tried the Jasmine Tea & Basil and the Cactus Flower & Mango, both smell great without being heavily perfumed. The hand sanitizer is the perfect size for carrying in a purse and convenient to use when soap and water aren't available. It dries fairly quickly and doesn't leave a filmy residue." -Nicole, heb.com Content Administrator

"I tried the Orchid Vanilla Cream & Apple Blossom Hand Sanitizer. The smell was a little sweet for my taste, but I passed it out at a high school camping retreat and never got it back. It was the girls' favorite, and the bottle was quickly empty. The Cactus Flower & Mango Hand Soap, however, I love. It's such a unique scent—and definitely not overpowering or girly for the man in the household." -Sarah, heb.com Senior Editor

"The hand sanitizer was AHHHHmazing! It was the perfect consistency. It was not to wet or runny, it was easily absorbed. The fragrance was great; you did not receive the alcohol smell after the application. I actually found myself smelling my hands and not wiping them off on a towel. The foaming hand soap was light and airy, one pump was the perfect amount to wash." -Kelley, H-E-B Beauty Buyer

"Orchid Cactus Flower & Mango Gentle Foaming Hand Soap – Love it! The soap had a pleasant scent and left my hands feeling soft and moisturized.
Orchid Jasmine Tea & Basil Deep Cleansing Hand Soap – I didn't read the entire label,
so I was a little surprised by the "exfoliating" quality of the soap. While I liked it...not really sure how much exfoliating was achieved. The moisturizing soap (Vanilla Cream and Apple Blossom) is fantastic.
Orchid Vanilla Cream & Apple Blossom Hand Sanitizer – Not the biggest fan of this one.
I thought the scent was overpowering and lingered too long. I was concerned the scent would complete with my perfume." -Judi, H-E-B Beauty Buyer
