Sun & Earth Dishwashing Liquid Vs. Ajax Dish Liquid

As someone who tries to use natural products as much as possible, I often wonder how they stand up to "regular" products. I decided to test it out with something most of us use every day: liquid dish soap. This article will compare Sun & Earth Hypoallergenic Ultra Dishwashing Liquid, a "natural" product, with Aloe to Ajax Antibacterial Dish Liquid, a "regular" product.

The "Natural" Brand: Sun & Earth
The Sun & Earth Dishwashing Liquid boasts on the back of the bottle, "Powerful, Natural Cleaning Products That Really Work!" The bottle also says that the soap is "gentle on the earth and your family's health." The ingredients are simply "natural based surfactants (derived from coconut and vegetable oils), orange oil, natural softeners made from plant fiber, aloe, water, and preservative."

The "Regular" Brand: Ajax
The Ajax Dish Liquid makes no claims about being safe for the earth, and contains a warning to "keep out of reach of children." If it is accidentally swallowed, the user is warned to seek medical attention from a poison control center immediately. (This problem does not arise with the Sun & Earth soap.) There is a long list of unrecognizable ingredients on the bottle.

Animal Testing
The Sun & Earth Dishwashing Liquid is not tested on animals. In contrast, the Ajax Dish Liquid, which is made by the Colgate-Palmolive Company, makes no such claim.

As a Hand Soap
One possible benefit of the Ajax is that it contains .08% triclosan, which is an antibacterial agent. The bottle says that the Ajax soap can also be used as a hand soap. While the Sun & Earth Soap makes no such claim, it does mention that Sun & Earth is "dermatologist recommended," and "won't irritate even the most sensitive skin."

Scent
Both the Sun & Earth and the Ajax dishwashing liquids are orange-scented. They both smell great, but the difference is obvious. While the Ajax smells like orange Jello, the Sun & Earth smells like fresh-squeezed orange juice.

Sun and Earth is Cruelty-Free and Vegan
