What Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Mint Dish Soap is made of, ingredients and materials
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Mint Dish Soap is formulated with water as the base and plant-derived surfactants (typically coconut oil or similar renewable sources) as the cleaning agent, plus essential oils for fragrance and mint scent. This formulation avoids synthetic detergents and petroleum-based surfactants common in conventional dish soaps. The absence of synthetic chemicals reduces the likelihood of persistent or bioaccumulative contaminants entering waterways after use.
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)
Mint essential oil and other plant oils can trigger contact dermatitis or respiratory irritation in individuals with fragrance sensitivity or asthma, though incidence is low at typical dish soap dilutions.
Skin irritation from alkalinity
Liquid dish soaps are inherently alkaline; repeated or prolonged contact may cause mild drying or irritation in susceptible individuals, managed by rinsing hands thoroughly after use.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
1,4-dioxane contamination
Plant-derived surfactants do not typically generate 1,4-dioxane as a byproduct; no reports of contamination in this product line are on record.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
This formulation contains no listed preservatives known to release formaldehyde (such as DMDM hydantoin or imidazolidinyl urea); brand disclosure does not indicate their use.
Source, ATSDR ↗Heavy metals
The product is dye-free or uses only plant-based coloring; no synthetic colorants with heavy metal impurity risk are documented in the ingredient list.

The brand's record and disclosure
Mrs. Meyer's (owned by S.C. Johnson) has publicly committed to ingredient transparency and lists all components on packaging and online. The brand does not use synthetic dyes, parabens, or animal-derived ingredients in this line. No recalls or safety warnings have been issued for this specific product in public databases. The brand's PFAS stance is not explicitly documented in public statements, but the formulation type (liquid soap without water-resistant or anti-staining coatings) has no typical PFAS sources.
How it compares in its category
Plant-derived liquid dish soaps like this one occupy a lower-hazard segment compared to automatic dishwasher detergents (which may contain enzymes, phosphates, or crystalline silica) and conventional hand soaps with triclosan or antimicrobial additives. Compared to fragrance-free alternatives, this product introduces essential oils as a fragrance source, which poses minimal dermal or respiratory risk at typical dilution but may trigger fragrance sensitivity in some users. It is functionally equivalent to other plant-based hand and dish soaps sold at similar price points.
If you buy it
Use as a standard hand and dish cleanser; no special storage or handling is required beyond keeping it sealed and away from extreme heat. Do not ingest. For sensitive skin or fragrance allergies, test on a small area first or choose the unscented variant if available. The product does not require replacement on a specific schedule; finish the bottle and replace when empty. Store below 25°C (77°F) in a stable location; freezing is not necessary.
