Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Enzyme sensitization (protease/amylase) and Residual surfactant skin irritation on the Dirty Labs and not on the Dropps.
  • We flag Surfactant irritation (skin/eye contact), Enzyme sensitization (respiratory/skin) and Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Dropps and not on the Dirty Labs.
  • The Dirty Labs is Plant-based surfactants, enzymes, water where the Dropps is surfactants, polymers, enzymes in dissolvable pod, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
