Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens (botanical origin) and Skin irritation from surfactant residue on the Ecos and not on the Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, Preservative-related irritation, Eye and mucous membrane irritation and Aquatic toxicity from disposal on the Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day and not on the Ecos.
- The Ecos is plant-derived surfactants, water, botanical extracts where the Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day is aqueous liquid soap, surfactants, fragrance, 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 →
