What Customers Say After the Switch
From greenwash-burned shoppers to allergy households — here's what changed when they swapped in Sampson.
I wash my hands constantly at work and my skin used to crack by the end of the week. Switched to this foam at home and my hands actually recovered. No tightness, no chemical smell.
The foam format is the right call. One pump covers both hands, the kids stop over-pumping it, and the 3.6L refill lasts forever. Ingredient list is short enough that I read all of it.
Bought it unscented because everyone in the house reacts to perfume. Added a few drops of the lavender essential oil from their fragrance line and it's perfect. Foams instantly, rinses clean, no film.
Gentle and it lathers well, no complaints on the formula. My only note is the foam pump can sputter near the end of the bottle before a refill — minor. Hands feel better than with my old drugstore soap.
What repeated hand-washing actually does to your skin
The problem with most hand soap is not that it cleans. It is that it strips.
Most drugstore hand soap is built on petroleum surfactants and a synthetic-fragrance blend that hides phthalates under the single word "fragrance." Wash ten or twenty times a day with that and the skin barrier loses its natural oils — the tightness, the cracking, the reactivity.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate — the petroleum surfactant most conventional soaps are built on — is the dermatology gold-standard irritant control in skin patch testing, used across 43,000+ patients over 20+ years (European Society of Contact Dermatitis)
Nearly 100% of people tested have detectable phthalates in their bodies — a common source is the fragrance blend in personal-care and cleaning products, which is not required to be disclosed (CDC NHANES)
Phthalates are endocrine disruptors linked to fertility changes, asthma, and developmental effects in children — and hide in ingredient lists under the single word "fragrance" (Endocrine Society)

We Spent 30+ Years Cleaning Up Contamination. Then We Checked Under the Sink. Nous avons passé 30+ ans à décontaminer des sites. Puis nous avons regardé sous l'évier.
Diana Trasente and Angelo Diadelfo are environmental engineers with Master's degrees and over 30 years remediating contaminated soil and water across Canada. They know industrial chemicals intimately — PCBs, heavy metals, synthetic surfactants, petroleum solvents. Diana Trasente et Angelo Diadelfo sont des ingénieurs en environnement avec des maîtrises et plus de 30 ans d'expérience en décontamination de sols et d'eau au Canada.
Then they started reading the labels on their own household cleaners. The same classes of synthetic chemicals they spent their careers cleaning up were sitting in their kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Puis ils ont commencé à lire les étiquettes des nettoyants ménagers chez eux. Les mêmes classes de produits chimiques qu'ils passaient leur carrière à nettoyer se trouvaient dans leur cuisine, salle de bain et buanderie.
In 2010, they founded Sampson Eco Shop — applying the same scientific rigor to household cleaners that they applied to environmental remediation. Every product starts with one question: What's actually in here, and is it safe to put down a drain? En 2010, ils ont fondé Sampson Eco Shop — appliquant la même rigueur scientifique aux nettoyants ménagers qu'à la décontamination. Chaque produit commence par une question: Qu'est-ce qu'il y a vraiment dedans, et est-ce sécuritaire de l'envoyer dans un drain?
“Every cleaner we make starts with the same question we'd ask on a contamination site: what's actually in here, and what happens when it goes down the drain?” “Chaque nettoyant qu'on fabrique commence par la même question qu'on poserait sur un site contaminé: qu'est-ce qu'il y a vraiment dedans, et qu'est-ce qui se passe quand ça va dans le drain?”— Diana Trasente, M.Eng. — Diana Trasente, M.Ing.
The Method
Powered by Coconuts. Engineered by Engineers.
Coconut-derived and plant-based actives, paired and balanced by Diana and Angelo Diadelfo, M.Eng. — environmental engineers since 2010.
Aerate into foam at the pump
The foam pump mixes air into the soap as it leaves the bottle, so it arrives pre-lathered. You skip the work-up step, use less water, and spread less product across the same two hands.
Lift dirt and grease off the skin
The foaming surfactant and plant-derived glucosides break the surface tension of the oily film that holds dirt, food, and grease to your skin, so water can carry it away.
Buffer the wash so skin keeps its oils
Cocamidopropyl betaine softens the detergency so the cleaning action lifts dirt without stripping the natural oils out of your skin barrier — the difference between clean hands and tight, cracked hands.
Condition during the wash, then break down
Aloe, vitamin A, and vitamin E condition the skin while you wash. The surfactants rinse off and break down in waste-water treatment instead of building up in the watershed.

Format Matters
What's actually in the bottle
A short, honest ingredient list against the hand soaps you've been buying.
| Sampson Eco Foaming Hand Soap | Conventional drugstore hand soap | "Eco" / greenwashed hand soap | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surfactant system | Plant-derived glucosides + cocamidopropyl betaine, mildness-buffered | Petroleum-derived (often SLS-based) | Mixed; "plant-derived" claim rarely sourced |
| Skin conditioners | Aloe vera, vitamin A, vitamin E (real inclusions) | Usually none; relies on added glycerin at most | Sometimes listed in trace amounts |
| Phthalates in fragrance | None — ships unscented, no fragrance carrier | Hidden under "fragrance" — not required to disclose | Often still hidden under "fragrance" |
| Scent | Ships unscented; choose from 20+ natural essential-oil fragrances | Single synthetic fragrance — phthalate carrier likely | Single "natural" scent, source rarely disclosed |
| Phosphates | None | Usually none in hand soap, but rarely disclosed | Usually phosphate-free |
| Format efficiency | Foam pump — less water and product per wash; refill from 3.6L | Liquid pump — more product, more rinse water | Varies; refill option not always offered |
| Biodegradable to OECD 301D | Yes (disclosed on label) | No | Sometimes claimed, rarely certified |
| Made in Canada by environmental engineers | Yes, in Montreal since 2010 | Multinational manufacture | Varies |
The format is the difference. Same plant chemistry, same engineering rigor — without the bottle, the water weight, or the synthetic add-ons.
