Dish Soap Safety & Ingredients

The safety of the perfume, along with all of the other materials in our liquid dish soap, has been thoroughly assessed to assure that the product is safe to use as instructed on the package.

If you accidentally swallow dish soap, immediately drink water to dilute the product. Do not induce vomiting. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
