Where these two actually differ
- We flag Surfactant skin irritation (contact dermatitis), Enzyme allergenicity (if formula contains enzymes), Inhalation of spray aerosol and Accidental ingestion by children/pets on the Seventh Generation and not on the Seventh Generation.
- We flag Enzyme sensitization or respiratory irritation, Surfactant skin irritation (concentrated form) and Fragrance allergen content on the Seventh Generation and not on the Seventh Generation.
- The Seventh Generation is Aqueous cleaning concentrate, spray bottle dispenser where the Seventh Generation is water-based surfactant formula, 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 →
