The Bastion Pina Colada Refill is a surfactant-dense formula designed for those who need a reliable bulk soap supply. The chemistry is engineered to be compatible with nearly all standard foaming dispensers, helping to avoid the "nozzle-clog" crystallization that can happen with lower-tier soaps. It uses Benzalkonium Chloride as its active hygiene agent, which gives the product a stable shelf life of over 24 months even if stored in warmer home environments.
The 1-gallon jug is built for efficiency, helping to reduce plastic waste by over 80% compared to buying small individual bottles. From a usability standpoint, the formula is strictly for foaming models; it is too thin for traditional liquid soap pumps and will not function correctly in them. To maintain the preservative system and prevent any "sour" smells, it is best to use the soap at full strength rather than diluting it with water.
Build Quality & Usability: The frame of the jug is sturdy for daily use, though the 8 lb weight of a full gallon means the initial pour should be done slowly to avoid spills.
The Pina Colada scent is tropical and lingering, which is pleasant for many but something to consider if you frequently handle silicone kitchen tools that might absorb odors. The internal pH balance is controlled to protect the seals inside your plastic dispenser housings, which adds a layer of longevity to your hardware. The jug itself is a standard industrial shape that fits well on most deep pantry shelves.
For a more citrus-focused scent, the Bastion Mandarin Orange Refill is an excellent alternative. You can find more ways to organize your bulk cleaning supplies by visiting our portable trolleys and carts page.
