Is Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner harsh on hands?Updated 3 hours ago
TL;DR: Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner contains Vitamin E, so it's far gentler than traditional heavy-duty degreasers. But it's still a cleaning product with enzymes, so we don't recommend using it as a hand wash.

Is it harsh on hands?
✓ Gentler than traditional degreasers
Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner includes Vitamin E, which helps protect skin during normal cleaning use. It's significantly gentler on hands than conventional heavy-duty kitchen degreasers.
⚠ Still not a hand wash
It's still an enzymatic cleaner designed for surfaces, not skin. The enzymes that target fats and proteins aren't intended for frequent direct use on hands. For regular hand washing, use a soap or cleanser made for skin.
