The real story
The 100% post-consumer recycled bottle is a real win, and the B Corp certification means the company is thinking bigger. The ingredient list is a mix, with some conventional choices, and there's room to grow on deeper ingredient certifications.
Good start with recycled packaging. Ingredient choices are the next step.

What is on the label?
Primary claim: "100% Post-Consumer Recycled Bottle"
What the claims cover
- Certified B Corporation
- Leaping Bunny
- USDA Certified Biobased
What is still missing
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a conventional surfactant, not the cleanest choice.
Worth knowing
- The 100% post-consumer recycled bottle is a genuine step up, and the B Corp shows a broader commitment. Keep an eye out for brands using gentler surfactants like APGs.
Where the footprint lives
Scope 3 — the supply chain: The main footprint is in sourcing ingredients and manufacturing the bottle, with the B Corp suggesting some oversight.
Most of a product's emissions sit upstream in Scope 3 — the scope breakdown explains why that decides the score.
Smart swaps and tips
- Look for EPA Safer Choice to ensure all ingredients are screened for safety.
- Powder detergents in cardboard cut plastic entirely — a great next step.
People and health
Social: The B Corp certification indicates a commitment to social and environmental performance across the company, but specific labor details are not disclosed.
Health: Ingredient list is short and mostly recognizable, but includes Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Benzisothiazolinone.
