About
What it is.
Free & Clear Dish Liquid belongs to Seventh Generation's line of plant-based home cleaners, sold as a concentrated liquid in a 19 oz bottle. It sits in the dish soap category alongside scented versions from the same brand, distinguished by a formula built around sensitive-skin use rather than fragrance or added dyes.
The plant-based, biodegradable formula is meant for washing dishes, cutting through grease and food residue on ceramic, metal, and plastic cookware. It is dermatologist tested and free of phosphates, triclosan, and gluten, positioning it for households wanting a cleaner ingredient list without giving up grease-cutting performance at the sink.
The verdict
Seventh Generation Free & Clear delivers a plant-based formula that buyers praise for gentleness, though some find it causes skin sensitivity and requires extra product for lathering. At $3.79–$5.99, it suits those prioritizing natural ingredients over sudsing power.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
Is this dish soap actually gentle on skin?
Buyers rate it highly for gentleness, and it's dermatologist tested and free of dyes and harsh chemicals. Some owners with sensitive skin have reported contact dermatitis, so it's worth testing on a small area first if you have a history of skin reactions.
Does it cut through grease?
Buyers rate its cleaning power and grease removal at 4.3 out of 5, noting it handles grease and grime well. It requires more product than conventional brands to achieve adequate suds, so you may use it faster.
What makes this different from Seventh Generation's other dish soaps?
This Free & Clear version is built around sensitive-skin use without added fragrance or dyes, while the brand's scented versions emphasize aroma. Both are plant-based and biodegradable.
Who should buy this?
It works best for households prioritizing a clean ingredient list—no phosphates, triclosan, or gluten—and willing to use more product per wash. It's less ideal if you want strong suds or have even slight skin sensitivity, as some buyers have experienced adverse reactions.
What don't buyers like about it?
The main complaints are lower lather compared to conventional dish soaps and higher usage per wash. A smaller number of buyers report skin sensitivity, though this is less common than positive experiences.
