Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, Preservative irritation (1,4-dioxane risk) and Skin irritation from surfactant concentration on the Irish Spring and not on the Irish Spring.
- We flag Fragrance allergens (undisclosed components), Surfactant-induced skin irritation and Eye irritation if misused on the Irish Spring and not on the Irish Spring.
- The Irish Spring is water-based liquid cleanser, surfactants where the Irish Spring is aqueous liquid formulation, standard cosmetic base, 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 →
