Dish soaps are formulated to facilitate the removal of greasy baked-on food from dishes (glasses, plates, utensils, pots, etc.). They also suspend (emulsify) the grease in the wash water to facilitate rinsing.
Starting in 2021, our portfolio now uses 100% Post-Consumer Recycled plastic on the following sizes: 8 oz, 10 oz, 17 oz, 18 oz, 20 oz, 32.5 oz, and 46 oz.
We are SmartLabel enabled and feature additional ingredient and sustainability information for all of our formulas. You can visit the SmartLabel page for each formula to learn more about our ingredients and their purpose.
Yes! Our PET and HDPE bottles are recyclable and we recommend keeping the cap on when recycling. You can empty excess product from the bottle, but no need to rinse.

No. Dish soaps should never be mixed with bleach or products containing bleach. Bleach active is highly reactive and can react with dish soaps and might produce toxic fumes. If fumes occur, open the window and leave the room immediately.
Palmolive dish soap has a shelf life of 2 years. A lot number is printed on the back label at the bottom of the bottle, which includes date of manufacturing. For example: with a code of 0244US7800K - The first 4 digits refer to the manufacturing date: 1st digit is the year (0 = 2020) and the next 3 digits are the day of the year according to the Julian Calendar (244 = Aug 31st) - The manufacturing date is Aug 31st, 2020, therefore expiring on Aug 31st, 2022
