Meliora Cleaning Products Plastic-Free Dish Soap for Hand Washing, 7 Oz. (Lemon)

I like to but cruelty free products and this dish soap bar is that and has eco friendly packaging with no plastic. This soap has a nice lemon scent and it lathers and cleans very well. It’s a little pricey but lasts a long time and is the best eco friendly and cruelty free option that I have tried - so it’s with the price.

At over $50, this was an absolute rip off. I was looking forward to a non-plastic solution to dish detergent, but Meliora certainly isn't it. It leaves a greasy/waxy layer on the water, and turns it water a milky colour. It has very little cleaning power. One star might be a more appropriate rating - if it cost about 75% less I'd still likely only leave 3 stars as it does't work well.

This soap is great. I have very sensitive skin, and my hands handle this just fine. It cleans great and suds good.

So far I’m getting used to transitioning from liquid to solid bar. It takes longer to get enough soap into my sponge (I don’t use a brush) It seems to be effective with grease. Not sure yet how long it lasts compared to liquid. It seems to take a lot less amount to get some good bubbles going though. One sustainable way of living without single use plastic. Less carbon footprint.

I like this soap, but not for the dishes. I originally bought it hoping for a more natural dish soap bar. Based on reviews and research, it seemed like a great fit. At first, I did use it for the dishes, but unfortunately, I wasn’t impressed, it left my dishes feeling a bit greasy. I noticed that if I washed a plate and didn’t rinse it immediately, the soap residue made the surface feel slick once it dried. Because of that, I stopped using it for dishes. However, I’ve started using it as a hand soap in the kitchen, and for that, it’s fantastic! It leaves my hands feeling clean and not dried out. I actually love it for that purpose and would probably buy it again, just not for dishwashing.
