Is Dishwashing Liquid fragrance-free?Updated 7 days ago

Koh Dishwashing Liquid is fragrance-free. There is no perfume, no masking agent and no synthetic scent anywhere in the ingredient list, which is the whole substantiation: nothing has been added for the sake of smell, and nothing has been added to cover a smell either. What you notice at the sink is the mild scent of the ingredients themselves. Dishes rinse without a scent on plates, glassware or cutlery, and hands do not carry a detergent smell after washing up. There are no dyes in the formula either. Made in Australia.

Fragrance is one of the more common triggers for asthma flare-ups, contact reactions, eczema and migraines, and in a dish detergent it has two routes to reach you: residue left on plates and glassware, and the airborne part while you are standing over a sink of warm water. Removing fragrance removes both. That said, people vary, and Koh does not claim a wholesale 100 per cent for any household. In general a fragrance-free detergent is a safer choice for a sensitive home, and the specific substantiation here is that there is no perfume or masking agent in the ingredient list, plus Sensitive Choice approval, Dermatest testing and Eczema Association of Australasia recognition.

No. Koh Dishwashing Liquid rinses without leaving a scent on plates, glassware or cutlery, which matters most for glasses and for anything that will hold food or a drink. Hands do not carry a detergent smell after washing up either. Glycerin is in the formula as a humectant to help with the drying feeling that comes with a sink of hot water. If you want the least residue of any kind, rinse in clean warm water and air-dry on a rack rather than wiping with a tea towel.
