Most dish soaps contain harsh chemical detergents, which can irritate your skin while successfully cleaning your pots and pans. Mrs. Meyer's dish soap, according to one customer, does not leave her hands "cracked, peeling, and itchy," but it cleans her dishes, which is more than she can say for most other "natural or natural-ish" dish soaps. Mrs.

Meyer's eliminates the need for her to "be insanely meticulous about wearing gloves." She likes the aroma as well. "It smells like summertime," another reviewer said. If that doesn't appeal to you, the soap is also available in Basil and Honeysuckle scents. But the soap isn't simply pleasant to smell; it actually cleans well. "Holy cow," says one reviewer, who uses this soap to clean his greasy frying pans and was startled to hear that it's entirely natural. "There's no feeling like it." He says, "Your wonderful liquid has given harmony to our household."

With just a few drops on your sponge, this hypoallergenic dish soap from ECOS cleans a sink full of dishes with a clear and effective concentrated recipe mixed with plant-based components. The fragrance-free product is ideal for delicate skin and individuals who are allergic to fragrances. Its delicate composition is said to be soft on hands while being tough on grease. Because of its pH-balancing characteristics, it keeps the hands supple and free of problems.

Reviewers like that this soap is free of harsh chemicals and won't dry out or bother their hands like Mrs. Meyer's. They also claim that this does not prevent it from cleaning. The true benefit, according to one buyer, is that this lightly scented soap does not leave an "overpowering" detergent odor or aroma on anything. This soap "doesn't suds up as much as others," according to one reviewer, but she claims that's not the true mark of a good cleanser anyhow.

Use plant and mineral-based dishwashing solutions to effectively remove oil from your kitchen and dinnerware. The scent of the product is fresh camomile and clementine, but it is also available in Pomegranate & Fig, Lily & Lotus, Lemon & Aloe, and Zero. It's also housed in a recyclable plastic bottle.

Preservatives aren't often present in natural dish washes, which can be problematic for those who are allergic to them. This woman, for example, is sensitive to methylisothiazolinone, which she claims is present in 99 percent of dish washes. This soap, on the other hand, "really suds" and doesn't require "half a bottle to do a load." Another reviewer is allergic to "artificial fragrance and isothiazolinone preservatives," and has been looking for a dish soap that doesn't annoy her and "truly gets things CLEAN" for years. This is the first she's discovered that accomplishes both, and she claims it "doesn't leave a weird film or foul flavor on the dishes." "It smells amazing, foams nicely, and is a fantastic value."

Sulfates are the ingredients that make soap foam, but they also irritate delicate skin, which is why reviewers with dry skin and eczema praised Better Life's sulfate-free soap.

"It takes off grease," says one user, "and I've noticed that many of them don't do that well."

Many additional customers claim that the natural ingredients in this soap do not detract from its potency. "I can literally hear my fingers squawking as they glide across my ever so clean plates," one reviewer says, assuring others that this soap cleans nicely. The aroma of this soap is mild and fresh." Over two dozen more five-star reviewers, including one who has scent sensitivity but says Better Life "smells amazing" and "does not make me unwell," praise the soap's pleasant "light minty aroma."

More than half of all five-star reviewers agree that this soap is ideal for traveling. "These are one of the nicest items I purchased for traveling with a newborn," one mother says.

Another reviewer appreciates that it doesn't leak when thrown in a bag, while still another note that one bottle of this soap lasts a long time.
