This score is a ranking based on how natural,
eco-friendly, and non-toxic a product is, and is rated out of a possible total 5 stars.

STARS: 3 1/2 out of 5 for naturalness
COMMENTS: This product is an extremely effective detergent based on plant-derived surfactants (though a chemical process was most certainly used to obtain those surfactants, making them no longer natural), and contains no phosphates, no ammonia, and no bleach.

Mrs. Meyer's is NOT a natural cleaning product. They are certainly more natural and safe than many traditional products out there, but they do contain some synthetics. The non-natural ingredients are the fragrance (which is primarily plant-derived, but does contain a synthetic element), the solubolizing agents, and a synthetic preservative (Mrs. Meyers justifies this by the need to inhibit microbial growth). A very effective cleaning product and fairly economical, but if you are looking for a 100% natural cleaner, then check out Maggie's Soap Nuts or Aubrey Organics Earth Aware.
