As I have become more environmentally conscious, I am constantly looking for alternative cleaning supplies that will be gentle on our planet and my family’s health. I came across a product called the seventh generation. When I heard about the seventh generation products from the Oprah Winfrey show and how they are responsible for the company, then I decided. Time to go to the grocery store and look for one of their products. One of their products I found was the Seventh Generation Dishwashing Gel. I typically use Palmolive Dishwashing Gel. As an elitr, it is always a good idea.
Seventh Generation Dishwashing gel comes in several scents like Palmolive Dishwashing Gel. But the seventh generation does not have the smell of allergic smells of this kind.
The seventh generation is biodegradable and non-toxic. It has no chlorine or phosphates. But palm oil has chlorine and is not biodegradable. It has a phosphorus content of 6 grams per tablespoon of gel. Phosphates are harmful to our environment.
Palmolive Dishwashing gel has a warning to avoid contact of this product with the device. The seventh generation is safe in tissues. Both are advised to refrain from throwing children and in case of contact with the eyes, make the water red. Both products say that if swallowed or gets in the mouth, drink milk or water and contact a doctor.
The seventh generation is hypo-allergenic. Palmolive does not indicate if it is hypo-allergenic.
One thing I do regularly is read the ingredients of whatever I buy. If a company cannot list its ingredients, try to find a comparable product. The seventh generation lists everything in special cleaning agents, where as Palmolive does not. The ingredients in the seventh generation are derived from a mixture of coconut base, natural fragrances, and water. The medicines in the bottle were crushed in this way;
Non-toxic acrylic polymers, linear alkylated alcohol, biodegradable, sudsing surfactant for cleaning, dispersing action, water stain prevention, sodium ash, sodium citric, sodium silicate, xanthan gum, simethicone. Usually in the seventh generation they are made from renewable vegetable-based materials (corn, palm kernel, or animal testing nor any animal ingredients are needed in the seventh generation. But Palmolive doesn’t say either way if it’s animal tested. As an animal, this is an important issue. If someone can detect this product, then I would consider another product to do animal testing.
Both leave the dishes sparkling clean when you add the appropriate temperature to the water.
Seventh Generation Dishwashing gel texture is not as thick as Palmolive Dishwashing gel. However, this dishwashing gel can be compared to Palmolive as it is a petroleum based product.
If every household replaced their 25 ounces of washing soap with 25 ounces of seventh generation soap, we would save 81,000 barrels of oil. The reason for plant dilution is mainly petroleum based products that come from oil.
According to the US EPA, our homes are more polluted than the outside air. This is primarily due to all the chemicals we use to clean the interior of our homes. Some of these chemicals release VOCs into the air. This can trigger asthma attacks in children. Asthma rates for children have increased by 18% over the past 10 years. If you look at all the chemicals on the market and what the ingredients are, it can be clearly deduced that this is a major cause.
The seventh generation becomes a family name when “green” fruits arrive in our environment. Seventh Generation Dishwashing Gel is about a dollar more in price than Palmolive Dishwashing Gel. However, going by the pros and cons of both products, I prefer the seventh generation due to its environment-friendly performance.
