Renée's Take · Jul 2026
How I Tested 6 Dish Soaps
I tested 6 dish soaps from 6 brands across 6 safety checks, including Primary Surfactant Type and Isothiazolinone Preservatives. Every product was scored the same way: material safety first, then real-world performance and ease of use.
What I found: The top picks pass third-party safety verification and hold up in everyday use. The dish soaps I left off had unverified material claims, missing certifications, or hidden tradeoffs that matter day to day.
Here's what came out on top:
- 1.Liquid Dish Soap Unscented 24oz · Molly's Suds · 9.9/10 · $24
- 2.Natural Dish Soap Fragrance-Free · Eco-Me · 9.5/10 · $8
- 3.Pure-Castile Liquid Soap Baby Unscented 32oz · Dr. Bronner's · 9.4/10 · $10
