Why Does the Tangie Liquid Hand Wash Separate?

Hey there! If you’re wondering why your Tangie Zero Waste Hand Wash Concentrate might look a little different after you mix it, don’t worry—you’re not alone. We get this question a lot: 

“Is the liquid soap supposed to separate after I mix it?” 

The answer? Yes! It’s 100% normal, and here’s why. 

Why Does Separation Happen? 

At Tangie, we keep things simple, clean, and as close to nature as possible. 

That means there are no synthetic stabilizers or chemical emulsifiers in our formulas 🙅‍♀️. While these additives are standard in conventional products to keep things looking uniform, they don’t align with our values—or what we want going onto your skin or into your home. 

Instead, we stick to simple, non-toxic, and eco-conscious ingredients that work beautifully, even if they occasionally like to “do their own thing.” 

Does Separation Affect Performance? 

Not at all!

While your hand wash may separate when it sits for a bit, it’s still as effective as ever. All it takes is a quick swirl (nothing vigorous!) to bring the ingredients back together. ✨ 

And here’s a bonus: Knowing your soap separates means you’re avoiding unnecessary synthetic chemicals. Win-win!

How to Use Your Liquid Hand Wash 

Using your Tangie Zero Waste Hand Wash Concentrate is super easy: 

  1. Dissolve about 1/8 of the bar of concentrate into 2 cups of water (more concentrate for more suds, less concentrate for fewer suds).
  2. After that, if your diluted liquid soap has been sitting for a while, just give the dispenser a gentle swirl to mix the ingredients again.
  3. Pump and wash away! 💧 

    That’s it. Simple, natural, effective. 

    Why We Love Keeping It Natural 

    Here’s the thing: At Tangie, we believe less is more. Less synthetic junk = more goodness for you and the planet. 🌍 Sure, this means the soap might separate, but it also means you’re using a product free from stabilizers and emulsifiers that don’t belong in your body or your home

    We’re proud to say our Zero Waste Hand Wash Concentrate delivers the cleansing power you need while staying true to our mission of clean ingredients and sustainable living.
