What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—skin sensitivity concerns—aligns with the product's "free & clear" positioning being problematic for some users despite marketing as gentle.
In their words
“I love that seventh generation makes safe products! The smell is beautiful. I can understand the ingredients! There are no dyes, which is one of my favorite parts. Gets off grease in grime really well! It also nicely studs”

“I bought this soap to use for my baby’s bottles and supplies thinking it would be a cleaner option. It gave me contact dermatitis and it has taken weeks for it to go away. I’ve lost sensation on a part of one of my fingers and have other patches affected on 5 other fingers. I strongly recommend to buy something else and save yourself the trouble if you have even the slightest sensitive skin.”
