Why the kitchen sink is one of the last places most people think to clean up their products
Most conventional dishwashing liquids use harsh synthetic surfactants that are effective at cutting grease but strip natural oils from the skin with every wash — contributing to dry, cracked hands, particularly in winter or in people who wash dishes frequently. The ingredients can also persist in waterways after going down the drain, where they affect aquatic life.
Modere Dish Wash takes the plant-based approach: surfactants derived from plant sources that tackle grease effectively while being gentle on hands and formulated with biodegradable ingredients. For people who’ve already made the switch to cleaner nutrition and personal care products, it makes sense to extend that thinking to what they’re using to clean their dishes every day.

How plant-based dish soap cleans effectively
Surfactants lift grease from surfaces
Surfactants (surface-active agents) have one water-loving end and one oil-loving end. They insert themselves between grease and the dish surface, lifting the grease into the wash water to be rinsed away. Plant-derived surfactants do this just as effectively as synthetic alternatives.
Gentle on skin because it doesn’t strip natural oils
The difference between plant-based and harsh synthetic surfactants is often in how aggressively they interact with the skin’s natural lipid layer. Plant-derived surfactants clean without stripping.
What to expect
Immediately
Clean dishes, no grease residue, and hands that feel comfortable rather than dry and tight after washing. The cleaning performance is the same as conventional dish soap — the formula just gets there without the harsh ingredients.
Regular use
People who wash dishes by hand frequently notice the difference between a hand-stripping synthetic dish soap and a gentle plant-based one most clearly over weeks of regular use, particularly in winter when skin dryness is already an issue.
Tips for Modere Dish Wash
Use with warm (not scalding) water
Hot water aids grease removal, but scalding water combined with frequent dish soap can still dry hands. Comfortably warm is the sweet spot for both cleaning effectiveness and hand comfort.
A little goes a long way
Plant-based dish soaps are often well-concentrated. Start with a smaller amount than you’d use of a conventional dish soap and increase if needed — you may find you need less.
Pair with Modere Dishwasher Powder for a complete kitchen clean
Modere Dish Wash for hand-washing + Modere Dishwasher Powder for the machine creates a complete clean-ingredient kitchen dishwashing system.
Safety

Always read the label and keep out of reach of children. If contact with eyes occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
