Third-Party Lab Tested

Dish Soap | Unscented

Independently tested by an accredited lab. Here is what came back.

We tested our unscented base formula, the same base every scent is built on, so these results cover this product.
No detectable 1,4-dioxane, the cancer-linked byproduct that can form when common surfactants are made.

Why we test

1,4-dioxane is a manufacturing byproduct, not an ingredient, so it never appears on a label even when it is present. in 2024 the epa determined it poses an unreasonable risk to human health, with concerns that include cancer, liver damage, and harm to the tissue involved in smell. it forms while the surfactants in many soaps and detergents are made, so a label cannot tell you whether it is there. a lab test can, so we run one.

Understanding the results
Not detected above 1 ppm
None detected means below the lab's detection limit, not a flat zero. For scale, one drop of water in an Olympic pool is about 0.01 ppm.
1,4-Dioxane
None detected

Everything I Was Hoping For…

For the past two plus years I have been struggling severely with skin issues brought on by my dish soap. I have resorted to using gloves when washing but living on a farm with four children and no dishwasher means LOTS of dishes…which also means those gloves were wearing out semi quickly. Each time a glove would get a small hole it would take me at least a day to figure it out and by then my hands had been exposed to the hard dish soap chemicals. Over the subsequent week my hands would begin to crack and bleed and a rash would spread up my forearms. I had been searching for a dish soap solution for months when I found Rustic Strength. Upon reading reviews someone else mentioned this was the first dish soap they had used that didn’t cause atopic dermatitis for them…..this gave me hope. I ordered, had shipping issues and their customer service department was so quick to help and were so gracious. I’ve been using this soap for over two weeks now and it works AMAZINGLY….even on my farm related dishes like milking buckets. I’m still using gloves as my skin heals from this last really bad flare from my former toxic dish soap but it is healing and I am hopeful. Thank you so much for this product! I will be a customer for life.

Excellent product

I have severe contact dermatitis and this is the FIRST dish soap that I have used that does not make my hands itchy and irritated. Nearly impossible to find a liquid dish soap without formaldehyde or fragrance. Love that it is available in large refill glass containers. My daughter in St Louis introduced me to it and purchases hers at a local refill center, which is even better.
