Lower concern. Typical dish soap rarely contains PFAS, but no explicit claim.
Method's liquid dish soap is a surfactant-based cleaner with no known PFAS application. Brand makes no disclosure either way; standard formulations carry minimal PFAS risk.

What Method Super Shine Liquid Soap, Dewy Daze is made of, ingredients and materials
Method Super Shine is an aqueous liquid concentrate formulation, meaning it is water-based surfactant chemistry rather than solid bar or powder. Liquid dish soaps in this class typically contain anionic surfactants (cleaning agents), preservatives, fragrance compounds, and water. The concentrate format reduces packaging waste and shipping volume, though users must dilute correctly to avoid skin irritation or reduced cleaning performance. No ceramic, enamel, Teflon-type coating, or metal cookware coatings are involved in this product's use, lowering material-specific degradation concerns.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components
Method does not publicly disclose individual fragrance compounds in Super Shine; fragrance is listed as a single ingredient. Individuals with fragrance sensitivity, asthma, or dermatitis may react to inhalation or skin contact, though dilution during dishwashing use reduces direct exposure.
Preservative contact sensitization
Liquid soap concentrates require preservatives to prevent microbial growth; common preservatives in dish soaps (e.g., methylisothiazolinone) are mild contact allergens in sensitive individuals. Exposure is brief and rinsed during use, lowering practical risk.
Ingestion hazard in children
Liquid dish soap concentrate is toxic if swallowed. Poisoning cases are on record for concentrated and undiluted dish soaps in young children; keep out of reach and use child-resistant packaging if available. This is a use and storage hazard, not a material hazard.
Skin irritation from undiluted product
Direct contact with the concentrate (not diluted in dishwater) can cause mild to moderate dermatitis or irritation. Proper dilution per label instructions eliminates this hazard during normal use.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Heavy metals
Liquid dish soap does not contact cookware surfaces in a way that causes coating wear or chemical leaching. This product poses no established hazard to cookware integrity or food contact safety.

The brand's record and disclosure
Method is owned by SC Johnson and markets itself on plant-derived ingredients and transparent labeling. The brand does not make explicit PFAS-free claims on this product's public labeling, and SC Johnson's corporate stance on PFAS in cleaning products is not widely documented. No recalls or safety violations specific to Method Super Shine Liquid Dish Soap are on public record. Method does not disclose full fragrance components (typically proprietary), which limits transparency on potential allergens or synthetic fragrance additives.
How it compares in its category
Liquid dish soaps are the lowest-hazard cleaning format overall because they are dilute in use, applied to non-food-contact surfaces (dishware is rinsed), and do not off-gas or degrade coatings. Method's concentrate sits in the mid-to-premium segment, competing against unbranded concentrate soaps and branded options like Dawn or Seventh Generation. No material difference in chemical hazard profile exists between Method and typical liquid concentrate alternatives; brand differentiation is marketing and scent, not safety.
If you buy it
Follow dilution instructions on the label to avoid skin sensitization or reduced efficacy. Store the concentrate in its original container away from heat and direct sunlight to preserve surfactant stability; do not transfer to unmarked containers. For users with fragrance sensitivity or eczema, test on a small area or consult the ingredient list (available on Method's website) before regular use. No special maintenance or replacement triggers apply; replace when empty.
