Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens (peppermint essential oil) and Eye and mucous membrane irritation on the Dr. Bronner's and not on the Harry's.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components, 1,4-dioxane contamination in surfactants or emulsifiers and Microbial growth and preservative adequacy in liquid format on the Harry's and not on the Dr. Bronner's.
- The Dr. Bronner's is Saponified plant oils, peppermint essential oil where the Harry's is water-based surfactants, glycerin, natural extracts, 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 →
