A highly effective, enzyme-powered dish soap designed to cut through tough grease and dried-on food while incorporating mild plant-derived surfactants and soothing aloe.
The exceptional 9.1/10 performance rating is a result of a robust cleaning formula. It features a powerful blend of surfactants, including Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) for grease-cutting power, alongside milder Decyl Glucoside, Lauryl Glucoside, and Lauramine Oxide to boost foam. The formula is further supercharged with Amylase and Protease enzyme blends that degrade stubborn food starches and proteins. Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate acts as an eco-friendly chelator to prevent hard water interference, and Alcohol Denat. serves as a fast-acting solvent.
The 5.1/10 safety rating is largely impacted by the presence of sensitizing preservatives. Both Methylisothiazolinone and Benzisothiazolinone are highly effective biocides but are well-documented contact allergens that can trigger skin irritation and dermatitis. Additionally, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Alcohol Denat. can strip moisture from the skin, leading to dryness. Despite the inclusion of soothing Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice and hydrating Glycerin, these ingredients cannot fully counteract the irritation potential of the harsh preservatives.
The 7.1/10 final rating reflects a high-performing product with some safety trade-offs. The formula is highly effective at cutting grease and breaking down stuck-on food residues due to its enzymatic activity and surfactant synergy. However, the risk of skin irritation from Methylisothiazolinone and SLS prevents it from achieving a top-tier score, making it a powerful cleaner that requires caution for those with sensitive skin.
This dish soap is a formidable, heavy-duty cleaning formula that expertly balances strong, grease-cutting surfactants with advanced, soil-targeting enzyme technology. At the core of its cleansing power is the combination of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Lauramine Oxide, which work together to generate a rich, long-lasting lather that emulsifies thick grease and oily residues with ease. What truly sets this formula apart, however, is the addition of Amylase and Protease enzyme blends. These active enzymes work like molecular scissors to specifically target and break down stubborn, stuck-on starch and protein deposits—such as dried oatmeal, baked-on cheese, and egg residues—reducing the need for aggressive, surface-scratching scrubbing. To help mitigate the potential drying effects of strong surfactants and denatured alcohol, the formulation incorporates mild, plant-derived co-surfactants including Decyl Glucoside and Lauryl Glucoside. These gentle cleansers work in tandem with Glycerin and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice to help replenish moisture and soothe the skin, preventing hands from feeling completely stripped after doing the dishes. Additionally, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate serves as a highly effective, biodegradable chelating agent that binds to minerals in hard water, preventing them from interfering with the soap’s performance and ensuring a spotless, streak-free rinse. Despite these skin-softening additions, users with highly sensitive skin, eczema, or compromised skin barriers should approach this product with caution. While SLS can be mildly drying on its own, the primary concern lies in the preservation system. The formula utilizes Benzisothiazolinone (BIT) and Methylisothiazolinone (MIT). While these are exceptionally powerful preservatives that keep the product free of harmful bacteria and mold, they are also well-documented contact allergens that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis, redness, and itching in sensitized individuals. If you have resilient skin, this soap offers outstanding, professional-grade cleaning power with a thoughtful blend of plant-derived ingredients. However, if you are prone to hand eczema or are sensitive to traditional preservatives, we highly recommend wearing protective gloves or seeking out a milder, isothiazolinone-free alternative.
