Product Reviews by Experts
This product was a very pleasant surprise, I couldn’t believe how ‘foamy’ it was! Smells great and did a great job of cleaning. What impressed me most about this brand is the way sustainability and ethical practices are woven into everyday business decisions rather than treated as a marketing exercise. From handcrafting products in Tasmania and sourcing Australian ingredients wherever possible, to using fair trade coconut oil, sustainable Western Australian sandalwood, and compostable or recyclable packaging, there is a clear commitment to reducing environmental impact. I also appreciate their focus on cruelty-free, plant-based formulations, renewable energy, and electric vehicles, alongside their support for the LGBTQ+ community and donation of imperfect products to homeless charities.
The format innovation here is the standout – a dish wash bar eliminates the plastic bottle problem at source rather than addressing it downstream through recycling programs. The addition of perlite as a gentle physical scourer built directly into the bar is practical design intelligence, and the high alkaline powder for grease cutting gives this product real efficacy credibility beyond what a purely botanical formulation can deliver for heavy-duty kitchen use. The lemon and lime essential oils provide genuine antibacterial support and a clean, recognisable scent that doesn’t overstay its welcome on dishes. The Orangutan Alliance certification for palm oil-free formulation is a specific, independently verified commitment that carries real ecological weight – palm oil is one of the leading drivers of biodiversity loss, and avoiding it in a surfactant-dependent product like dish wash requires deliberate formulation choices. The use of Kokonut Pacific certified fair-trade coconut oil, hydro-powered warehouse, and all-EV company vehicles collectively represent a genuine operational sustainability commitment. Donating imperfect soaps to homeless charities is a circular waste-reduction model with a direct social benefit.
What I like most about this dish wash bar is how well it cuts through grease while providing a simple, plastic free alternative to traditional dishwashing liquid. I enjoy the fresh lemon and lime scent from the essential oils, and I appreciate that it is easy to use, long lasting and made with natural ingredients. The brand has a strong commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. I appreciate that they use fair trade and Australian sourced ingredients where possible, manufacture locally in Tasmania, and offer recyclable and home compostable packaging. It is also wonderful to see their support for the LGBTQ+ community and their donation of imperfect soaps to homeless charities, showing that they genuinely care about both people and the environment.
