A Dishwasher Detergent Without the Dirty Ingredients

Meet the automatic dishwasher gel that works as hard as you do—without compromising your health or the planet. Our Dish Gel blends plant-based cleaners and earth-derived minerals to cut through grease and grime with ease—leaving dishes sparkling clean and free from toxic residues.

  • Tough on grease, gentle on you—delivers mainstream-strength performance to leave your dishes sparkling clean, without the harsh, cancer-causing, and hormone-disruptive ingredients found in mainstream detergents. 
  • Readily biodegradable and safe for our environment—works in short eco cycles and heavy-duty loads. Formulated to rinse clean. PFAS-free. Plastic-film-free (no PVA; many pods use PVA film) and septic-/grey-water safe.

Citrus that cleans—not just scents. Powered by our Sunburst Citrus essential oils (lemon, orange, grapefruit, and lime) at a functional level to help cut grease, leaving only a light, fresh note that rinses away.

Formulated with high-purity ingredients, this gel is made with biodegradable ingredients, septic-safe, and grey-water safe—so it’s gentle on your home and our waterways. No microplastics. No endocrine disruptors. Just a clean you can trust.

Third-Party Lab Tested

Automatic Dishwasher Gel | Sunburst Citrus

Independently tested by ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories.

We tested our unscented base formula, the same base every scent is built on, so these results cover this product.
No detectable 1,4-dioxane, the cancer-linked byproduct that can form when common surfactants are made.

1,4-Dioxane

None Detected
Why we test: 1,4-dioxane is a manufacturing byproduct, not an ingredient, so it never appears on a label even when it is present. in 2024 the epa determined it poses an unreasonable risk to human health, with concerns that include cancer, liver damage, and harm to the tissue involved in smell. it forms while the surfactants in many soaps and detergents are made, so a label cannot tell you whether it is there. a lab test can, so we run one.
Understanding detection limits
Not detected above 1 ppm

None detected means below the lab's detection limit, not a flat zero. For scale, one drop of water in an Olympic pool is about 0.01 ppm.

1,4-Dioxane None detected

Tested by Intertek Allentown. Jul 2026.
