Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, 1,4-dioxane contamination in surfactants and Skin irritation or sensitization on the Bath & Body Works and not on the Dr. Bronner's.
- We flag Fragrance allergens (peppermint essential oil) and Eye and mucous membrane irritation on the Dr. Bronner's and not on the Bath & Body Works.
- The Bath & Body Works is aqueous cleanser, surfactants, fragrance where the Dr. Bronner's is Saponified plant oils, peppermint essential oil, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
