Description
A plant-based dish soap that cuts grease and rinses straight off, leaving no soapy film on glassware or fine china. Scented with fig, cranberry and bergamot rather than anything sweet. The bottle is designed to stay on the sink rather than be hidden under it, and it refills from the 946ml bottle so you buy it once.
Key Features
- Easy-rinse formula. Leaves no soapy residue on glass or fine china.
- Readily biodegradable. And safe for septic systems.
- Free from SLS, parabens, phthalates, phosphates and dyes. Named explicitly by the brand.
- Gentle enough for fine china. And for sensitive skin.
- Refillable. Top it up from the 946ml refill.
- 500ml. Recyclable PET, resin code 1.
Pūrē Standard
- What matters is the rinse, not the foam. Residue is the thing you actually notice, and it shows on glassware first. Murchison-Hume build this around an easy-rinse formula that leaves nothing behind, which is a more useful promise than how much it lathers in the sink.
- Septic safe and readily biodegradable. The harder of the two bars, and the one that matters if you are on a tank or a rural block.
- The full ingredient list is published. Eight ingredients, all named. Free from SLS, parabens, phthalates, phosphates and dyes, stated by name rather than implied.
- Refillable, and the bottle earns its place. An amber PET bottle you are happy to leave out, refilled from the 946ml rather than replaced. That is the difference between a refill system someone uses and one they abandon.
- Made in Australia. Formulated and manufactured here.
- Where we would like more. The scent is listed as fragrance (parfum) rather than broken out, so we cannot tell you which allergens are in it. If anyone in the house reacts to fragrance, the fragrance-free lines are the safer pick.

Our Take
It rinses straight off, which is the bit you actually notice, because residue always shows on glassware first. Fig with cranberry and bergamot rather than anything sweet.

Frequently asked
Is it safe for septic systems?
Yes. Murchison-Hume state the formula is safe for septic tanks and readily biodegradable. That is the harder of the two bars to clear, and the one that matters if you are on a tank or a rural block.
What is actually in it?
Eight ingredients, all published: water (aqua), cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, fragrance (parfum), citric acid, potassium hydroxide, phenoxyethanol and benzyl alcohol. It is free from SLS, parabens, phthalates, phosphates and dyes, named explicitly by the brand rather than implied.
Can I refill the bottle?
Yes, and it is designed for it. Top it up from the 946ml refill rather than replacing the bottle. The amber PET bottle is recyclable, resin code 1, and good-looking enough to leave on the sink, which is the difference between a refill system someone keeps using and one they abandon.
What does Original Fig smell like?
Ripe fig with cranberry and bergamot. Murchison-Hume describe it as a balanced fruit and floral rather than sweet or overpowering, and that matches how it reads in the room.
Is there a fragrance-free version?
Not in this line. The scent is listed as fragrance (parfum) rather than broken out, so we cannot tell you which allergens are in it. If anyone in the house reacts to fragrance, our fragrance-free lines are the safer pick.
Is it gentle enough for fine china and sensitive skin?
Murchison-Hume state it is gentle enough for your best china and suitable for sensitive skin, while still cutting through baked-on food. It is an easy-rinse formula, so it leaves no soapy residue on glassware.
Where is it made?
Australia. Murchison-Hume formulate and manufacture here, and the range is 100% cruelty free and never tested on animals.
