"We love this product! Can you make 1L bottles. Thank you!"

"I dont know why your not posting my review here. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, maybe you just did not receive it. I just wanted to know why there's sodium benzoate in your ingredients, when you're claiming this product is 100% free from harmful chemicals. As what I read on the net, sodium benzoate is a preservative that promotes cancer and kills healthy cells. Why are you including this as one of your ingredients? I started to love your products and have been buying it twice a month for my family use, but when I saw this ingredient I started to doubt you. Can you enlighten me because I'm using this on my kids bottle? Thanks! Giving you 2 stars for now. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Jaycee! We graciously thank you for your patience while waiting for your post. Many of the reviews we receive take more time to answer when they involve a complex question like yours because we strive to provide you with the most comprehensive information available. Sodium Benzoate is used as a component of one of the natural preservative system which is comprised of Gluconolactone (corn-derived) and Sodium Benzoate. It's included in the preservative we use to stabilize the gluconolactone rather than to act as a preservative for the product, which means it's present in very small trace amounts in our products (only 0.1%). Sodium Benzoate is approved for up to 0.5% in cosmetic products and our natural preservative system is approved by ECO-Cert, which is currently the most credible organic certifying body in the world. It’s also interesting to note also that Sodium Benzoate occurs naturally and is often derived from berries.

Because of the very low concentration in our products, the Sodium Benzoate component of our natural preservative system poses no risk to the health of our consumers. Firstly, it's highly unlikely that Benzene would form in our products. For it to happen, the product would have to be exposed to quite high heat (e.g. being left inside a car on a hot day). But those levels of heat would definitely affect the quality of the products (scent, thickness/viscosity etc) to the point where people would not want to use them anyway. Secondly, even if someone did use a product like that, the possible level of Benzene in the products would not even equal the amount in a sip of Diet Coke. So on this basis, we're confident there is absolutely no risk from using our products :) Other natural personal care brands which use Sodium Benzoate in low concentrations include Avalon Organics, Kiss my Face, J/A/S/O/N, Aveeno, Alba Botanica, Beauty without Cruelty, The Body Shop and more.

We really appreciate you bringing this question up, and if you'd like to share it, you may post it on the Disqus section of our product page. It might be helpful for others who are wondering the same thing! :)]"

"Hi, I like this product, I have already consumed two bottles. As I go over the ingredients I can see sodium benzoate which is, as I read on the net, a preservative that promotes cancer and kills healthy cells. I thought your ingredients are all natural and no harmful chemicals? please send me your feedback at lani_angcaco@yahoo.com. I have been buying your products since it was introduced to me, hopefully you can enlighten me. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Melani! We're so happy to know that you're loving our dishwashing liquid. If you skim through our reviews of this product, you'll see that you're not the first to inquire about sodium benzoate. But you can be assured that we thoroughly research every ingredient that goes into our products and we would never use any ingredient that has been found to pose health risks. Sodium Benzoate is used as a component of one of the Ecocert-certified natural preservative systems comprised of Gluconolactone (corn-derived) and Sodium Benzoate. It's included to stabilize the gluconolactone rather than to act as a preservative for the product, so it's present in very low concentrations in our products: only 0.1%. Many natural personal care brands also use Sodium Benzoate in low concentrations and it is approved for up to 0.5% in cosmetic products - so it poses absolutely no risk to your health. We hope this information helps and thank you for being so committed to our products! :)]"

"Definitely a great product! The tag line says it all:) Congratulations, HHN, for venturing into home care products! I just hope HHN would consider repricing or selling refills to make their 2 products more competitive. I've been using another natural & locally made dishwashing liquid that's equally effective yet more reasonably priced; theirs come in 260ml, 500ml and 2L refills and costs less by ~25%. Let's continue encouraging moms/homemakers to transition to green living by providing high quality natural cleaning products that's easy on the budget. Besides, natural doesn't have to be expensive :) "

"Gentle on hands and to Mother Earth but tough on grease.. I recommend this product to all the mommies out there.."

"I loved it that you came up with an environment friendly dishwashing liquid. It really is gentle on my hands and it smells great too! However, my mom and I noticed that we have to use more than 2 drops to get the same effect as the usual commercial dishwashing liquid in the market, wherein we use just 1-2 drops. I hope you can do something about the formulation so that it's more economical to use. :) also a refill for this would be great, so we can just reuse the container instead of buying a new bottle. :) [EDITOR'S NOTE: Many chemical dishwashing liquids contain synthetic foam boosters that don’t play a role in dirt removal. Ours has no synthetic foam boosters & may lather a little less but it does cut the grease & leave dishes squeaky clean. A little goes a long way!]"

"a small drop of tough love goes a long way, good for washing the dishes and perfect for washing my make up brushes. YES!! i use it for cleaning my make up brushes, it cleans my brushes so well without drying them out, double purpose.

Im hoping that HHN will have there own line of organic make up brushes. ;)"

"it's very effective at removing grease and food smells (even fish smells!) from dishes, utensils, kitchen surfaces and hands; rinses easily, and does not dry hands. great product!"

"i am disappointed in your formulation. i wondered if you made a compatibility test of the excipients during formulation. the product i purchased last month turned into a semisolid consistency with an opaque clarity after using for two weeks and storing it in our office pantry where the aircon is turned on 24/7.It looked like cooking oil stored in a ref. It was clear yellow thick liquid when it i purchased it. However, i still use it because it is too expensive just to be thrown away. The fragrance was retained however, and it is still effective in cleaning (I hope) since i use large amount when washing a single utensil. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Ericka! The formulation of our Dishwashing Liquid will solidify at cold temperatures because the coconut based ingredients we use are subjected only to minimal processing to maintain their naturalness. The downside of this is that it will solidify at temperatures close to refrigeration point (less than 10 degrees Celsius). But the good news is that it does not affect its cleansing ability. When it’s warmed up again, it will just liquefy again with no side effects. We appreciate your feedback and we hope this clears things up for you.]"

"the product turns cloudy and slightly solidifies in colder temperature like Baguio :( [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Grace, thank you for sharing your feedback and experience. The Dishwashing Liquid contains essential oil and glycerin which may solidify at low temperatures, but this does not affect the effectiveness of the product. As soon as it warms up above 10-15C, it will go back to normal. You could try popping it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to get it back to normal quickly if you're in a location with very cold temperatures :)]"
