Question from Marie

Hi Debra,

Hi. I looked on Q&A first, but didn’t see anything.

How do I tell a friend that her fragranced Dawn dish detergent is toxic? (It smelled up her kitchen and contaminated my clothes and hair.) Is there a list somewhere of its chemicals that I can email her?

Thank you very much

Debra’s Answer

You can find all the ingredients for all Dawn products here: www.pg.com/productsafety/search_results.php?searchtext=Dawn&category=ingredients&submit=Search

There are fifteen Dawn products, so choose the one that matches your friend’s.

Choose “ingredients” (pdf) under the product name and you will get something that looks like this: www.pg.com/productsafety/ingredients/household_care/dish_washing/Dawn/Ultra_Dawn_Original_Lemon_Dishwashing_Ingredient_Disclosure.pdf

After the Fragrance ingredient, there is another link that says “For more information, follow this link”. And it goes here: www.pgproductsafety.com/productsafety/ingredients/Perfume_and_Scents.pdf

Everyone take a look at this. They tell you all the chemicals that may be present in their fragrance. But no data on toxicity. This is the list of chemicals you are looking for.

I need to start a new project of looking up all these chemicals.
