Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and respiratory sensitizers, Preservative irritation (1,4-dioxane potential), Eye and mucous membrane irritation and Undisclosed PFAS in surfactant or foam stabilizers on the Dawn and not on the Ecos.
- We flag Fragrance allergens (botanical origin) and Skin irritation from surfactant residue on the Ecos and not on the Dawn.
- The Dawn is Water, surfactants, fragrance, preservatives where the Ecos is plant-derived surfactants, water, botanical extracts, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
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 →
