New formula with SLS dries out hands until they bleed.
I have used 7th Generation's products for years.
I peeled off the label of this dish soap when I got home,
and saw it had SLS.
I did not like that I had to peel off
the label to see the ingredients.
I did a lot of research on SLS.
I found it is supposedly
not as evil as we have been led to believe,
so I decided not to take it back to the store.
Well, evil or not, my hands are always supple and
not dry or cracked in any way.
Ever since I started using this soap, my hands have
dried up, and look like the hands of a
dessicated mummy just out of the pyramid.
Then they started to crack and bleed, and that is when I decided
to go back to my other earth friendly dish soap, and within one day,
my hands began recover.
I do dishes a lot because I prepare all my food myself,
so, I suppose if you rarely do dishes or wear gloves, you may be ok.
It DOES clean well and makes miles of suds, but this simply
doesn't even warrant a star after the health of my hands was
put in jeopardy.
I like Seventh Generation,
they are not perfect,
at least they are trying to respect the earth,
so I look forward to them improving this product.
Take care of your wondrous self and have a beautiful day!
