  • Ajax (Colgate & Palmolive)
  • Palmolive (Colgate & Palmolive)

Wrap Up: Cruelty-Free Dishwashing Soap

I really hope this list has given you plenty of cruelty-free dish soap options. 

A big concern for many moms is the cost of cruelty-free products. 

Well, I’m happy to say that many of these brands are very responsibly priced and won’t break the bank.

I personally don’t mind spending a little bit extra knowing that the majority of these brands are using eco-friendly packaging and manufacturing methods.

    Hi! Great list…it’s just unfortunate that brands like Method and Seventh Generation are owned by companies like SC Johnson that do conduct animal testing.

    Hi found you today… wondering about the *. I understand that means that particular product is vegan, non toxic and cruelty free; however the parent company still tests on animals? Thank you.

      Yes, that correct. The brand is certified cruelty-free but owned by a non-cruelty-free parent company.
