A dish wash that cuts grease without stripping your hands. It uses only coconut-derived soaping agents, plus glycerin for its soothing effect on skin, which makes it one of the few dish liquids worth considering if you have eczema or dermatitis-prone hands. pH balanced, so it is safe on sealed marble and stone.
Which One Do I Need?
- 500ml Bottle. Refillable, reusable PET with a twist-lock pump lid that can be locked shut, which makes it genuinely travel and camping friendly.
- 1L Refill Pouch. Twice the liquid, with a side spout for easy pouring. Barkly Basics state the pouch reduces plastic use by around 70% against another bottle.
Key Features
- Only coconut-derived soaping agents. Plus soothing glycerin.
- SLS/SLES free and paraben free. No citric acid, no alcohol.
- pH balanced, so marble and stone safe. As long as the marble has been sealed.
- Gentle on reactive skin. Suitable for eczema and dermatitis-prone hands.
- Biodegradable and grey-water safe. Fine on a garden system.
- Vegan and cruelty free. Stated by the brand.
- Made in Melbourne, Australia. Not imported.
Pūrē Standard
- Stone safe is the detail nobody tells you. Most dish liquids are alkaline enough to dull and etch sealed marble and natural stone over time, which matters if your sink surround is either. This one is pH balanced, and Barkly Basics say so plainly.
- Glycerin is in there for your hands, not for the dishes. Its soothing effect on skin is documented in the medical literature, and Barkly Basics link the study rather than just asserting it. Dish liquid is the household product most likely to wreck your hands.
- Coconut-derived surfactants, fully listed. Sodium coco-sulphate and coco-glucoside rather than SLS or SLES, with the whole list published.
- The pouch is the point. Barkly Basics put the saving at roughly 70% of the plastic against another bottle, and they will take the empty pouch back for recycling.
- Where we would like more, and it matters if you are sensitive. It is scented with a phthalate-free fragrance blend rather than essential oils, and the aromachemicals are not itemised. It is not a fragrance-free option.

Frequently asked
Which format should I buy?
Start with the 500ml refillable PET bottle, which has a twist-lock pump lid you can lock shut for travel or camping. Then top it up from the 1L refill pouch, which has a side spout and cuts roughly 70% of the plastic against buying another bottle.
Is it safe on my stone benchtop?
Yes, provided the marble has been sealed. It is pH balanced, which matters because most dish liquids are alkaline enough to dull and etch natural stone over time.
Is it gentle on hands?
It uses only coconut-derived soaping agents plus glycerin, whose soothing effect on skin is documented in the medical literature. It is SLS, SLES and paraben free, and Barkly Basics say it suits eczema and dermatitis-prone skin.
Does it contain alcohol or citric acid?
Neither. It just smells like a mojito.
