Seventh Generation Review and giveaway




The power of scent is remarkable. It can have positive effects on your mood, reduce stress, and even help you sleep better. But not all scents are created equal. The fruit, floral and herbal ingredients used to create the scents in Seventh Generation´s new natural dish liquid come from fields, not factories.

  • Seventh Generation dish liquid contains only essential oils and botanical extracts, and delivers real cleaning power. Your tableware will be left fresh and ready to serve your next home cooked meal.

  • With authentic ingredients like lavender from the fields of Drome in the foothills of the Alps, clementines from sunny Calabria and lemons from the soils of Sicily, Seventh Generation natural dish liquid is free of unnecessary synthetic colors or chemically engineered scents.


We  already use  several Seventh Generation products in our house.
So I was excited to try out the new natural dish liquid product line.
The Seventh Generation dish liquid contains only essential oils and botanical extracts.
It comes in several different scents
Lemongrass and Clementine Zest
Lavender Floral and Mint
Fresh Citrus and Ginger
Free and Clear








So what do I think of the Seventh Generation natural dish liquid ?

The first thing I was surprised by was how light the scents are.
You can barely smell them .
That is not a bad thing but they smell so fresh and natural I wish the scent was a little stronger.
But it is always better for a scent to be mild than over powering.




Now along with the Seventh Generation natural dish liquids I also received a  stoneware baking dish from Le Creuset
I just have to say WOW  I Love this baking dish!
 I made some baked spaghetti in the dish hoping that it would be hard to clean.
Then I got out the  Lemongrass and Clementine Zest  along with the two twist scour  pads
Well I was a little disappointed because I had no trouble cleaning the pan.
The dish soap worked great it cut the grease in the pan with very little scrubbing.
Now I do not wash dishes my hand to much just my pots and pans.
The one thing that I always have to be careful about is the detergent bothering my hands.
I have been using the Seventh Generation natural  dish liquid soaps to wash my pots and pans everyday now for about a month.
I have not had any problems with  rashes on my hands.
I have lots of skin and allergy issues,so I think that if I can use a product with no problems then it will be OK for most people to use. 
I also noticed that I do not need to use a lot of the  dish liquid to clean my pots and pans so a bottle will last long.
So now I have no excuses for not washing the pots and pans.

I am very pleased with how will the dish liquids work I love the  Fresh Citrus and Ginger scent it is my favorite.
I saw when I was shopping last week that my local grocery store carries the dish liquid now and the price is good.
