What Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Daisy Dish Soap is made of, ingredients and materials
Mrs. Meyer's Daisy Dish Soap is formulated with water as the base and plant-derived surfactants (typically coconut or corn-based cleaning agents) plus essential oils for fragrance and mild antimicrobial effect. Liquid dish soaps of this type do not contain the coating-related hazards seen in ceramicware or the polymer leaching risks of rigid plastics; the active ingredients are designed to break down grease and rinse completely. Essential oils can be skin irritants for some users at high concentration, but dilution in rinse water and brief contact make systemic exposure very low.
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 (essential oils)
Daisy scent is derived from essential oils such as lavender or citrus compounds, which can trigger contact dermatitis or respiratory irritation in sensitive individuals. Risk is low during normal dishwashing due to dilution and brief contact, but hand dermatitis is possible with repeated exposure in sensitive users.
Bacterial contamination if improperly stored
Liquid soaps can harbor bacteria if stored in warm, humid conditions for extended periods; proper storage in a sealed container at room temperature minimizes this risk. No recall related to microbial contamination has been reported for this product.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Surfactant skin irritation at high concentration
Plant-derived surfactants in liquid dish soaps are inherently drying and mildly irritating if undiluted; Mrs. Meyer's formulation is designed for rinsing and poses no documented hazard at use concentration. No recalls or complaints specific to this product have been recorded.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Liquid soap formulations typically do not require formaldehyde-releasing preservatives; Mrs. Meyer's disclosed ingredients do not include methylisothiazolinone or other formaldehyde donor compounds on public safety records.

The brand's record and disclosure
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day has published ingredient lists on packaging and websites consistently, and the brand is owned by SC Johnson, a large consumer-products manufacturer with established safety compliance frameworks. The company does not publicly claim PFAS-free status, though no PFAS have been detected in or reported for this product line in public records or third-party testing. No significant recalls or safety controversies related to this specific product have been documented.
How it compares in its category
Most liquid dish soaps in the mass market use similar plant-derived or petroleum-derived surfactants with synthetic fragrance or essential oil blends. Mrs. Meyer's positions itself in the mid-premium segment with plant-derived claim and gentler profile; it has lower documented hazard burden than soaps using undisclosed fragrances, synthetic dyes, or undeclared additives. Compared to unscented or fragrance-free alternatives, this product carries minor fragrance allergen risk, but well below that of heavily perfumed or industrial-strength cleaners.
If you buy it
Use as directed on the bottle and rinse thoroughly from dishes and hands; dilution in rinse water further reduces any skin contact risk from essential oils. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent separation or degradation of plant-based surfactants, though this does not pose a safety risk if it occurs. No special maintenance or replacement triggers apply; use until empty and replace with the next bottle. If skin sensitivity to fragrance develops, discontinue and choose an unscented alternative.
