Our plant-based dish soap is called Washing Up Liquid because it cleans far more than just your dishes. This non-toxic dish soap is ideal for families seeking a safer alternative to conventional dishwashing soaps. The mild ingredients rinse away easily and are safe to use on food contact surfaces.
Designed for families who want powerful grease removal without compromising skin health, this dish soap is safe for sensitive skin and gentle enough for daily hand washing. Our formula removes grease effectively without synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals, SLS, SLES, or other harsh irritants. Safe for eczema and contact dermatitis.
Designed for Sensitive Families
We are a household with sensitive skin, so we understand how important it is to reduce daily exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals. This dish soap is formulated with powerful plant-based ingredients that are effective against grease and grime while remaining gentle on hands.
Feel reassured when cleaning baby dishware, highchairs, toys, and more. Choose from essential oil-powered aromas or our fragrance-free option.
Gentle on Skin. Tough on Grease.
Non-toxic cleaning. No compromises.
One small pump creates a rich, stable foam to help lift grease and food residue from any surface. Our plant-based surfactants easily cut through grime while maintaining skin compatibility for frequent use.
Premium Ingredients. Everyday Use.
Our 16 oz pump bottle is designed for daily kitchen use and typically lasts 3-4 weeks with regular hand dishwashing. One small pump is enough to clean a full sink of dishes, delivering premium cleaning performance, without the harsh chemicals.
We also encourage you to refill these water-proof bottles using our 48oz refill pouches made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. You enjoy savings ($/oz) for buying in bulk and reducing our plastic footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this dish soap safe for sensitive skin?
Yes! We formulated this without petrochemicals or synthetic irritants. Our plant-based formula is gentle enough to be used as your go-to hand soap too!
Unlike conventional dish soaps, our formula is designed for frequent use without drying hands.
Is it safe for babies and pets?
Yes! All ingredients were selected with family safety as the priority. Kids love doing what mummy and daddy do so it's vitally important that whatever we use, is safe for our kids (and pets) too.
Does your dish soap make my kids' plastic or silicone dishware taste like soap?
No! This is a common issue with conventional dish soaps because of the heavy use of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, a petrochemical-based surfactant. Our plant-based surfactant rinses off easily with water and doesn't deposit on the surface of your kids dishware.
Does it contain synthetic fragrances or asthma-triggering chemicals?
No! We prioritize plant-based ingredients and essential oils for families seeking simpler, safer ingredient profiles. Synthetic "fragrances" are almost always petrochemical-based.
Is this septic safe?
Yes! and not only that, it's safe for waste water treatment facilities and the streams that receive effluent from these facilities. Conventional dish soaps use petrochemicals that are known aquatic toxins, i.e. they are known to harm marine life and waterways, despite the fact that all these products go down our drain. Our commitment to community health includes the environment so all our ingredients are safe from the moment they're made to the moment they return to the earth.
Can I use this as a hand soap?
Yes! As parents of a two-year old and newborn, our hands are constantly being cleaned or used to clean dishes. Our Washing Up Liquid is our go-to liquid soap at every sink.

Responsible Packaging & Refills
Responsible Packaging & Refills
At Be Better Goods, we believe that packaging waste should be the manufacturer's responsibility, not the consumers. Here's how we are helping you minimize waste:
- The innovative pump bottles are shatter proof and lightweight thanks to the 100% recycled pulp exterior shell and thin plastic inner liner. The water-resistant rigid shell allows us to use 70% less plastic per bottle compared to conventional spray bottles.
- These pump bottles and durable pump tops are designed to be reused! So we offer customers 48fl oz refill pouches that allow you to refill each bottle 3 times, oh and you get a discount for buying in bulk.
- Lastly, when your pouch is empty and you're ready for another, we ask that you return the pouch to us to be cleaned, inspected, sanitized, and reused! Check out how to return the pouches here.
