Where these two actually differ
- We flag Skin irritation from sodium lauryl sulfate on the Irish Spring and not on the Tone.
- We flag Formaldehyde releasers in preservatives, BHA (salicylic acid) irritation and systemic absorption risk and 1,4-dioxane contamination in surfactants on the Tone and not on the Irish Spring.
- Both carry a flag for Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components, so neither choice avoids it.
- The Irish Spring is aqueous surfactant solution, no known PFAS-targeted additives where the Tone is aqueous gel cleanser, surfactants and actives, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
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 →
