Probably vineagr or something. If you don't mind the smell. 
Incredible. I proof read that before posting. It shows you shouldn't do that with your own stuff.

Lemon juice
I suspect it just masks the smell though.
I think some people's skin absorbs the smell more than others. I can still smell onion on my hands the nextvday , even after a shower.

I have washed them in the salt paste, gave them a quick listerene rinse, followed by a very nice lemonie hand cream I have - so far so good
I am about to chop tomato's so will rub the knife round them for good measure.

Arm and Hammer Baking Soda, rub moistened hands with dry powder then wash off.

You can actually buy a stainless steel pebble from kitchen shops. Just use it like you would a bar of soap and it removes the smell. It's good for getting rid of garlic fingers.

I hadn't heard about stainless steel, thank you!
I usually just rinse straight away with COLD water (mum said use cold, and it seems to work
)
If you slice your onions like the chefs do, then you shouldn't get much juice on your hands anyway ... plus it reduces teary eyes.

I don't normally want to chop mine so fine, so make wider-spaced longitudinal cuts and/or less horizontal ones ...
