Dish Liquid, Free & Clear, 19 fl oz

If you want a liquid in a squeeze bottle, this is the disclosure standard to beat: every ingredient named, SDS published, no dyes or fragrance. The bottle is plastic, stated 100% recycled, and the preservatives are isothiazolinones, which sensitive skin should know about. For a plastic-free sink, a soap bar skips the bottle entirely.

3 / 10 Medium plastic footprint $

A fragrance-free, dye-free dish liquid with full ingredient disclosure and a published SDS. The bottle is plastic, stated 100% recycled; the preservatives are isothiazolinones.
