I’m loving Earth Friendly Product’s Ultra Dishmate in Natural Pear for washing my dishes by hand!  This is a very concentrated product so a little goes a long way making it a great value at less than $3.00, which is competitively priced compared to any conventional dish soap.  In fact, while we’re at it, let’s do a little compare-and-stare at the ingredients of a popular household dish soap, Palmolive. 

Palmolive Ingredients: Water, Ammonium C12-15 Pareth Sulfate, Magnesium Isododecylbenzenesulfonate, Lauramidopropylamine Oxide, SD Alcohol 3-A, Sodium Xylenesulfonate, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance, Pentasodium Pentetate, DMDM Hydantoin, Sodium Bisulfite, D&C Orange No. 4 (active ingredients: Triclosan 0.12%)

Ultra Dishmate Ingredients: Water, Coconut Oil Derived Surfactants, salt and pear oil. 

Hmmm….it doesn’t take long to figure out which one I’d rather use! 

All Earth Friendly Products are biodegradable and recyclable, they don’t contain any phosphates, dyes, perfumes, SLS (sodium laurel sulphate), or cocomide DEA.  They are never tested on animals (noted by the leaping bunny logo on the bottle) and this bottle is made from #1 PETE plastic.  This foams nicely and does not cause any spots on my dishes and the light pear aroma is nice and fresh in the kitchen.  If you’re looking for a non-toxic, natural dish soap that is not overly scented, try this one - I think you’ll like it!
