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

verified purchase · walmart.com

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.
