Material
water-based surfactant cleansing formula, typical cosmetic liquid
Brand disclosure
Brand is silent on PFAS
Lab data
No public lab test
What’s concerning
Category baseline
cosmetics is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement about PFAS in this product.
Fragrance allergens
Dial Lavender Jasmine contains fragrance compounds; lavender and jasmine extracts or synthetics can trigger contact dermatitis or respiratory sensitivity in a subset of users. No clinical allergy incident rate specific to this product is published, but fragrance is the most common cosmetic allergen.
1,4-dioxane (synthetic fragrance contaminant)
1,4-dioxane is an unintentional byproduct sometimes present in cosmetics with ethoxylated surfactants or certain fragrance ingredients. Dial does not publicly disclose testing for this contaminant; it is not a regulated ingredient but a known concern in mainstream body washes.
Bacterial or mold growth during storage
Water-based liquid body washes can support microbial growth if the bottle cap is left open or if the preservative system is compromised over time. This is a user-dependent risk, not an inherent product defect.
What’s reassuring
Safe base material
Made from a material with no inherent PFAS use (ceramic, mineral, or natural fiber).
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Dial body washes typically use standard cosmetic preservatives such as methylisothiazolinone or phenoxyethanol rather than formaldehyde-releasing agents. No documentation exists of formaldehyde or releaser compounds in this specific product.

Dial Lavender Jasmine is a clear or translucent liquid with minimal added pigments, reducing the likelihood of lead, cadmium, or chromium contamination from colorant sources. FDA-approved colorants used in cosmetics are subject to purity standards.

What it's made of and why it matters
Dial Lavender Jasmine is a water-based liquid body wash formulated with surfactants (cleaning agents) and fragrance compounds. The base composition is typical for mass-market body washes: water, sodium lauryl sulfate or similar anionic surfactants, glycerin for hydration, and fragrance oils or extracts. This formula type does not inherently concentrate heavy metals, allergens, or volatile organic compounds at levels known to pose acute consumer risk during normal skin contact and rinsing.
The brand's record and disclosure
Dial (Henkel subsidiary) does not publicly disclose detailed PFAS testing or commitment statements for body wash products, though the category is low-risk for intentional fluorochemical use. The brand has faced no major recalls or safety controversies tied to this specific product or line. Dial body washes are regulated as cosmetics under FDA rules and must comply with banned-ingredient lists; no undisclosed restricted substances have been documented for this formulation.
How it compares in its category
Dial Lavender Jasmine sits in the mainstream commercial body wash tier, comparable in safety profile to similar fragrance-based washes from Dove, Dial Gold, or Caress. It is not marketed as hypoallergenic, organic, or dermatologist-formulated, so fragrance sensitivity is a realistic consideration for some users. No independent testing has flagged this product as an outlier for contamination or undisclosed additives relative to category peers.
If you buy it
Use as directed: apply to damp skin, lather, and rinse thoroughly with water. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the bottle closed to prevent bacterial contamination or mold growth in the pump. For individuals with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies, conduct a small patch test before full-body use. Replace the bottle if you notice discoloration, separation, or odor changes, which may indicate preservative failure or microbial growth.
