Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components and Skin irritation from sodium lauryl sulfate on the Irish Spring and not on the Radox.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensory irritation, Sulfate surfactant irritation and Preservative-related sensitization on the Radox and not on the Irish Spring.
- The Irish Spring is aqueous surfactant solution, no known PFAS-targeted additives where the Radox is aqueous gel formulation with surfactants and botanical 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: 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 →
