Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens (botanical origin) and Skin irritation from surfactant residue on the Ecos and not on the Seventh Generation.
- We flag Respiratory irritation from aerosolized propellant and Degradation of plant-derived surfactants over time on the Seventh Generation and not on the Ecos.
- The Ecos is plant-derived surfactants, water, botanical extracts where the Seventh Generation is water-based surfactants, plant-derived cleaning agents, 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 →
