Of all the wear and tear tasks our hands go through, washing up has to be the worst.

After years of peeling skin and flaky nails from conventional washing liquids, we decided enough was enough.

So we went back to basics.

We created this nourishing, organic washing-up liquid that doesn't zap hands of moisture but does crack down on grease and grime, although you might have to be a little patient, particularly if you live in a hard water area.

You see, gentle washing up liquid does work, but the absence of harsh synthetic surfactants like SLS or SLES means one tiny pump won’t magically fill your sink with bubbles and instantly cut through a sink full of greasy dishes. You’ll need to add at least a few pumps to hot water and may have to let really greasy dishes soak for a little longer - that’s the trade-off between harsh synthetic detergents and gentle natural ones.

Rest assured, given a little time to work naturally, your dishes will sparkle. ✨

Scented with 100% organic essential oils (tea tree and lemon), this gentle washing up liquid answers for many broken hands.

Lovingly handmade in beautiful Wales.

How To Use

Add a few pumps to hot water. You may have to let really greasy dishes soak for a little longer - that’s the trade-off between harsh synthetic detergents and gentle natural ones. You may also need a few extra pumps if you have hard water.

Ingredients

Deionised Water is purified water that has had contaminants removed in order to maximize shelf life of the finished product.

5 - 15% Anionic Surfactant (Sodium Coco Sulfate) is a COSMOS-certified anionic surfactant that the Soil Association also permits. It is derived from the fatty acids found in coconut oil. It's important to note that SCS should not be mistaken for Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) or Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). Unlike SLS and SLES, which go through the ethoxylation process and are often made from palm or crude oil, SCS is not ethoxylated and has a larger molecule size, so it cannot penetrate the skin and, therefore, is much less likely to cause irritation. Sodium Coco Sulfate is used to improve foaming and assist the detergent system. It is readily biodegradable, environmentally friendly and skin-friendly.

5% - 15% Non-Ionic Surfactants

Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a highly effective, plant-derived biodegradable surfactant that is also used to emulsify essential oils. It is ECOCERT Certified.

Decyl Glucoside is a mild and gentle non-ionic plant-based surfactant made from derivatives of Coconut Oil and Glucose. It is biodegradable and palm free as well as Soil Association and Ecocert approved.

Benzyl Alcohol is an organic compound that naturally occurs in plants. It inhibits the development of microorganisms and is used in our water-based products to ensure that they are safe, stable and effective as part of our ECOCERT, COSMOS and Soil Association approved organic preservative system.

Salicylic Acid is a naturally occurring compound derived from fruits and vegetables and is used in our products as part of our COSMOS and ECOCERT approved natural preservative system.

Vegetable Glycerin is a natural thickener made from plant oils and helps stop skin from drying out. It’s also a natural preservative and is part of our COSMOS and ECOCERT approved natural preservative system.

Sorbic Acid is a naturally occurring compound obtained from fruit and is one of the most commonly used preservatives in the world. It is highly effective at prohibiting the growth of mould and is part of our COSMOS and ECOCERT approved natural preservative system.

Xantham gum is a 100% natural thickening agent.

Citric Acid is naturally found in citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges. It is an excellent disinfectant and natural cleaning agent that is ideal for removing mould, bacteria and mildew and is also effective at tackling limescale and calcium build-ups.

Essential Oils - Citrus Limon Peel Oil (Lemon Oil), Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil (Tea Tree)

Benzyl Alcohol, Citral, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool

A quick note on naturally occurring allergens: virtually all essential oils and some natural preservatives include naturally occurring allergens that, according to EU legislation, must be listed on cosmetic and detergent packaging. All Lavender & Lemon products use <1% essential oils and preservatives and strictly adhere to IFRA and preservative regulations, so they should be safe on all skin types, but please be mindful that these naturally occurring allergens may cause irritation, particularly if you have sensitive skin. This information is shared for your peace of mind and the sake of complete transparency.

Questions

Does this prodct foam as much as traditional washing up liquid?

The short answer is: maybe. The hardness of your water will determine whether you have a sink full of bubbles.

You see, foam is generated by synthetic surfactants like SLS and SLES, which can be harsh on both your skin and the environment. In the absence of these harsh synthetic surfactants, one tiny pump won’t magically fill your sink with bubbles.

Lavender & Lemon Washing Up Liquid is formulated with gentleness and environmental safety in mind, opting to prioritize gentle ingredients over the creation of excessive foam.

It's important to note that the presence of bubbles is largely an aesthetic feature and does not indicate a product's cleaning efficiency. In reality, more bubbles do not equate to a better clean. This misconception has led many to mistakenly believe that the effectiveness of a washing up liquid is directly proportional to the amount of foam it produces. However, this is not true. A thorough and satisfactory clean can be achieved with minimal foaming, ensuring the well-being of your skin and the planet while maintaining high cleaning standards.

Will I need to use more product for tough grease?

Lavender & Lemon Washing Up Liquid is designed to tackle grease effectively, though sometimes a little more product or soaking time may be needed compared to harsh chemical laden washing up liquids. That’s the trade-off between harsh synthetic detergents and gentle natural ones.

Rest assured, given a little time to work naturally, your dishes will sparkle. ✨

Where can I learn more about the ingredients used?

Is Washing Up Liquid safe for people with allergies or sensitive skin?

While all Lavender & Lemon products are formulated with organic ingredients that are generally gentler than harsh chemicals, please check the ingredient list if you have sensitive skin or allergies. Virtually all essential oils and some natural preservatives include naturally occurring allergens that, according to EU legislation, must be listed on cosmetic and detergent packaging. All Lavender & Lemon products use <1% essential oils and preservatives and strictly adhere to IFRA and preservative regulations, so they should be safe on all skin types, but please be mindful that these naturally occurring allergens may cause irritation, particularly if you have sensitive skin. This information is shared for your peace of mind and the sake of complete transparency. Naturally occurring allergens are listed on every product page and label.

Many happy customers rave that Lavender & Lemon products do not trigger their asthma or allergies, but every individual is different so it’s important that you review the ingredients and conduct a patch test to be sure.

Why does Washing Up Liquid have a warning symbol?

Cleaning products are regulated under both the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and the Detergents Regulation (EC) No 648/2004. It is a legal requirement that preservatives and allergenic perfume ingredients, including essential oils, include a precautionary warning statement. Lavender & Lemon labels include the < ! > warning symbol because our cleaning products contain very small amounts of naturally occurring allergens found in essential oils and preservatives that may cause an allergic reaction, irritate your respiratory system or irritate eyes. Legally, and for your safety, all cleaning products should be labelled appropriately and include accurate warning information.

If a cleaning product that you use contains essential oils and / or preservatives but does not include a warning symbol or claims that they are not required to, you may want to contact the manufacturer to enquire if all allergens and preservatives are listed and whether they conform with CLP and Detergent Regulations.

Sparkle Without Sacrifice

Our gentle Washing Up Liquid is formulated to nourish your hands, preventing dryness and maintaining your skin's natural moisture while cutting through grease and grime, leaving dishes sparkling clean with a little patience and care.
