Peppermint & Lemon Liquid Dish Soap
What you're getting: One 16 fl oz bottle of sulfate-free dish soap with a flip-top lid. Scented with mentha arvensis (Japanese peppermint) oil — gently balanced with a subtle citrus limonum (lemon) note. Pure essential oils, no synthetic fragrance, no phthalates, no dyes.
Scent profile — cool peppermint, cleanly balanced: Fresh, cooling peppermint leads, gently balanced with a subtle lemon note. Crisp, refreshing, and clear — energizing without ever overpowering. The Japanese peppermint cuts through cooking smells faster than most people expect from a plant-derived formula, and the lemon brightens it without tipping into candy territory.
How it cleans: Plant-derived surfactants — sodium alpha olefin sulfonate (coconut-derived), cocamidopropyl betaine (coconut-derived), cocamide DIPA (coconut-derived), and decyl glucoside (plant-derived) — lift grease and food residue without the stripping effect of sulfate-heavy formulas. Concentrated. A small amount handles more than you'd expect. Start with less than you think you need.
Why we went sulfate-free: Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is what most national dish soaps rely on. It cuts grease aggressively, but it had two problems we couldn't get past. On hands that wash dishes a few times a day, every day, SLS adds up — drying skin, dulling hands, wearing nails down. And its close relative SLES can carry traces of 1,4-dioxane, a manufacturing byproduct the EPA classifies as likely carcinogenic in humans. We reformulated around milder coconut- and plant-derived cleansers instead, and getting the grease-cutting performance right without the SLS family took more rounds than we'd like to admit. We think a soap you use every day should leave your hands the way it found them.
