Protect your health, plate by plate

Natural dish soap that does more than clean.

Discover how switching to natural dish soap can elevate your routine — with safer ingredients and serious grease-fighting power.

We touch our dishes every day—and what cleans them touches us too. That’s why what’s in your dish soap matters. While conventional dish soaps may leave dishes sparkling, they often do so with a hidden cost: ingredients that can compromise human health and contribute to environmental pollution. Thankfully, natural dish soaps offer a cleaner alternative—one that protects both your home and the world beyond it.
Here’s why it’s worth making the switch.

Switch to natural dish soap for a safer, cleaner sink

Dish soap is one of the most-used products in the home—and conventional formulas can hide harsh chemicals like synthetic surfactants, preservatives, and artificial fragrances that can irritate skin and pollute waterways. Many also come in single-use plastic bottles that contribute to long-term plastic waste. However, natural dish soaps are changing the game. Many are made with plant-based, biodegradable ingredients that cut grease and grime without compromising your health or the environment. Plus, most come in low-waste formats like refills or plastic-free packaging to help reduce your daily plastic footprint.

Make every pump part of your plastic-free routine

Beyond what’s inside your soap, the container it comes in matters too. Single-use plastic bottles are a huge contributor to household waste—only about 9% of plastic actually gets recycled [4]. The rest? It winds up in landfills, incinerators, or the environment, breaking down into microplastics that can make their way into our bodies through air, water, and food [5].
Refillable glass or aluminum dispensers paired with plastic-free soap concentrates or pouches are a powerful way to reduce this waste.

The Bottom Line

Natural dish soap is the way to go, for your dishes and your health

Switching to natural dish soap (and more conscious options to dispense it) is more than a simple upgrade in your kitchen routine — it’s a statement about what you value. You’re choosing ingredients that are safe for your family, packaging that respects the planet, and products that still work.
