A gentle, non-drying hand wash enriched with bioactive olive oil, so it cleans without stripping. SLS/SLES free, paraben free, pH neutral, and gentle enough for eczema and dermatitis-prone skin. It scores 100/100 on the Yuka app, which analyses ingredient lists for health impact.
Which One Do I Need?
- 500ml Bottle. The refillable, reusable PET pump bottle. 20cm high x 7cm wide.
- 1L Refill Pouch. Twice the wash, with a side spout for easy pouring. Barkly Basics state the pouch reduces plastic use by around 70% against another bottle.

- pH neutral. And citric acid free.

Pūrē Standard
- A third-party score, not a self-declaration. 100/100 on Yuka means an independent app read the ingredient list and found nothing to flag. For a product you use twenty times a day, that is worth more than any amount of "gentle" on the label.
- Coconut-derived surfactants and a food-grade preservative. Sodium coco-sulphate and coco-glucoside instead of SLS or SLES, with potassium sorbate doing the preserving. Barkly Basics publish the full list, which most hand washes do not.
- Olive oil is the reason it does not dry you out. Frequent hand washing strips the skin barrier. Adding back a bioactive oil is a formulation choice that costs the maker money and saves you hand cream.
- The pouch is the point. Barkly Basics put the saving at roughly 70% of the plastic against buying another pump bottle, and they will take the empty pouch back for recycling.
- Where we would like more, and it matters if you are sensitive. It is scented with a phthalate-free fragrance blend rather than essential oils, and the individual aromachemicals are not itemised, so we cannot flag specific allergens.

Our Take
A hand wash that smells like nectarine and mint rather than a hospital corridor. Made in Melbourne, gentle on hands washed a hundred times a day, and refillable so the bottle stays.

Frequently asked
Which format should I buy?
Start with the 500ml refillable PET pump bottle, then top it up from the 1L refill pouch. The pouch has a side spout for easy pouring and cuts roughly 70% of the plastic against buying another bottle.
Will it dry my hands out?
It is formulated not to. It is pH neutral and enriched with bioactive olive oil, which puts back what frequent washing strips out. Barkly Basics say it is gentle on eczema and dermatitis-prone skin.
How does it score on ingredient apps?
100 out of 100 on Yuka, which independently reads ingredient lists and rates health impact. That is a third-party result rather than a claim on the label.
What is in it?
Water, glycerine, bioactive olive oil, sodium coco-sulphate and coco-glucoside (both coconut derived), grape seed extract, a coconut-derived non-ionic surfactant, food-grade potassium sorbate as the preservative, thickener and phthalate-free fragrance. SLS, SLES and paraben free.
Can I recycle the refill pouch?
Yes, and Barkly Basics will do it for you. Send the clean empty pouch back to them and they will send a discount code for your next refill.
Is it suitable if I am sensitive to fragrance?
It is scented with a phthalate-free fragrance blend rather than essential oils, and the individual aromachemicals are not itemised, so we cannot flag specific allergens.
