Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergen sensitization and Microbial growth in pump dispenser (maintenance hazard) on the Aesop and not on the Seventh Generation.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and Heavy metal contamination in botanical extracts on the Seventh Generation and not on the Aesop.
- The Aesop is aqueous liquid cosmetic formulation (soap/detergent base) where the Seventh Generation is water-based surfactants, plant-derived ingredients, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Seventh Generation is the one to buy.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
