The Truth about Dawn Dishwashing Liquid First, look at the color. There is nothing in nature (that I can think of) that is that neon blue color (aside from maybe some tropical fish in the Caribbean – I said maybe). There is some chemical additive that makes it that distinct color that everyone associates with Dawn. And they don’t have to disclose what it is because it’s proprietary information. So, by law, they don’t have to tell us. And second, how about those ingredients? They aren’t listed on the bottle which would make it easy for us to read them. A quick internet search gives us these as the main ingredients – The full list is quite long, and you can find it here - but here are a few of the “natural” things in Dawn: alkyl dimethyl amine oxide – a synthetically manufactured surfactant that allows the detergent to remove grease. Because oil and water do not mix something needs to be included in the ingredients that bridges that gap between the oil and water and get rid of the grease. sodium lauryl sulfate – another chemically manufactured ingredient that removes grease, scientists are concerned that continued skin contact can cause liver, lungs and brain damage. potassium carbonate – a buffering agent that controls the pH of the liquid. It has no real known hazards except it can irritate your skin. fragrance and color – an unknown group of chemicals that gives Dawn it’s distinct color and odor And don’t be fooled by those who call it soap. It can’t be called soap, because technically, it isn’t. You’ll notice on the bottle that it says “dishwashing liquid”. Dawn Dishwashing Liquid is not soap. And because it’s not soap, chemicals need to be added to make it act like soap.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I use Dawn. It works great on my dishes, and mixed half and half with hydrogen peroxide makes a great stain remover for clothes. However, I’m under no illusion that it is organic or all natural. No matter what people say on Facebook! Glynne’s Soaps is committed to providing all natural products for people and their pets.
