Puracy Natural Dish Soap 2021 Review| Refillable, natural dish soap
The Top Line:
MAYBE a buy. We really loved the experience of using Puracy’s natural liquid dish soap. We liked that the consistency wasn’t too thick (easy to refill) and that the scent is relatively light. Most importantly, we appreciate that this is a sulfate free soap that is naturally derived and biodegradable. The packaging is also generally great — large refill bag means less shipments (less carbon footprint) and the very small spout makes refilling super simple (no mess!). Our two complaints - the plastic pouch isn’t really recyclable (more on this below) and the price is pretty darn high 😔
The Breakdown:
Cost & Products: $20.99 for 64oz refill pouch
How ‘Clean’ Is This? All ‘naturally-derived’ ingredients, sulfate free
Packaging: Large pouch means less shipments, but unfortunately it is made of a plastic that is stamped with a “7”, which isn’t very recyclable.
Purchasing & Shipping: We purchased on Amazon, but you can purchase on the Puracy website directly as well.
Good to know: The spout is tiny which is excellent for easy refilling. The consistency of the soap also makes it super simple to refill (not too thick).
What’s Your Impact? Reduction in plastic - refill your bottle with a large refill pouch (cuts down on shipments).
The Experience
Context: We have tried Cleancult, Blueland and Method dish soaps.
We really loved the consistency of the soap - not too thick so you can easily refill
The design of the spout on the pouch is really small, ideal for refilling into a small bottle opening
We like the light scent (we never want our dishes to smell too perfumed!)
Overall seems to clean very well, no complaints there!
The Cost
We compared Puracy’s Natural Dish Soap with other dish soap options, ranging from other natural/eco-friendly options like to Cleancult and Seventh Generation, as well as ‘standard’ brands like Dawn and Palmolive, and other formats like Blueland’s dish powder and dish soap bars from rE: Dish, DuJardin, and more.
Money Report: Puracy’s dish soap refills unfortunately land at the top of the list when it comes to cost — more expensive than virtually every other option out there — bummer!
The Good:
✔ Soft on hands (non-drying)
✔ Low - waste
✔ Non-toxic ingredients with a fragrance free formula
✔ Love the small spout - easy, no spills refills
✔ Great suds to get our dishes really clean
✔ No residue, rinses clean and cuts grease
The Bad:
✗ Super pricey!
✗ Packaging is unfortunately made of a ‘recyclable’ plastic that is marked with a 7 — which is made of multiple plastic types, which makes it more difficult to be recycled
Our Recommendation:

We're on a mission to reduce our personal carbon footprint with small, hopefully easy, changes in our home to fight against climate change. This means we're looking for products that may be all natural, ideally zero waste, reusable or compostable -- while still being affordable!
