Summary
This cleaner contains plant-derived ingredients like Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract and Lauryl Glucoside, which are generally considered safer and more environmentally friendly. However, the presence of methylisothiazolinone, a preservative associated with potential skin sensitization, impacts its overall safety profile. The product is processed, which limits its score despite the use of some natural extracts.
