Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and Skin irritation from surfactant load or pH imbalance on the Dove and not on the Irish Spring.
- We flag Fragrance allergens (undisclosed components), Surfactant-induced skin irritation and Eye irritation if misused on the Irish Spring and not on the Dove.
- The Dove is aqueous liquid cleansing base (water, surfactants, humectants) where the Irish Spring is aqueous liquid formulation, standard cosmetic base, 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: 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 →
