- We flag Enzyme sensitization (protease/amylase) and Residual surfactant skin irritation on the Dirty Labs and not on the Biokleen.
- The Biokleen is aqueous surfactant blend, plant-derived ingredients where the Dirty Labs is Plant-based surfactants, enzymes, water, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
