Herbal Strategi NatureDrop Herbal Liquid Dish Wash
Soap Nut Extract, Lemon Oil & Coconut-Derived Cleansers • 2 L
Review Snapshot
What stands out?
NatureDrop uses soap nut extract and coconut-derived cleansing ingredients rather than relying only on conventional detergent-style marketing. The supplied laboratory report also provides useful data on pH, heavy metals, oxygen demand and bio-assay results.
Ingredient Analysis
Soap nuts naturally contain saponins, which can act as surfactants. The current manufacturer information lists
8 ml soap nut extract per 100 ml.
The manufacturer lists 18 ml per 100 ml. However, the exact identities of these
coconut-derived cleansing agents are not disclosed on the current ingredient list.
Lemon oil is listed at 1 ml per 100 ml. It may contribute fragrance and formulation
characteristics, but essential oils can be problematic for some fragrance-sensitive users.
The formulation also states “Excipients: Q.S.”. This means the complete formulation is
not disclosed, so we cannot independently assess every ingredient from the label alone.
Laboratory Test Report
Ganesh Consultancy & Analytical Services (OPC) Pvt. Ltd. • Report dated 03-12-2025
The supplied report identifies the sample as “Herbal Liquid Dish Wash”.
The report states that its results apply only to the tested sample and listed parameters.
| Parameter | Result | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| Suspended Solids | 5 mg/L | <100 |
| BOD | 26 mg/L | <30 |
| COD | 230 mg/L | <250 |
| Phenolic Compounds | BDL (<0.001) | <1 |
| pH | 7.24 | 5.5–9.0 |
| Arsenic | BDL (<0.01) | <0.2 |
| Selenium | BDL (<0.01) | <0.05 |
| Cyanide | BDL (<0.05) | <0.2 |
| Iron | 2.10 mg/L | <3.0 |
| Phosphate | 2.18 mg/L | <5.0 |
| Nitrate | 2.32 mg/L | <10.0 |
Reported after 96 hours against a stated specification of >90% survival.
The report lists Total Residual Chlorine as BDL (<0.2 mg/L), while the stated
specification is <0.1 mg/L. Because the laboratory detection limit is higher than
the specification, this result does not establish compliance with the <0.1 mg/L limit.
Heavy Metals
Mercury, lead, cadmium, chromium VI, total chromium, copper, zinc, nickel, manganese and vanadium
were reported at BDL in the supplied test report. Iron was detected at 2.10 mg/L against a stated
specification of <3.0 mg/L.
Strong Points
Soap nut extract is clearly disclosed.
Coconut-derived cleansing system is disclosed.
Near-neutral pH of 7.24.
Most tested heavy metals were BDL.
95% survival in the reported 96-hour bio-assay.
Useful environmental parameters were actually tested.
Limitations
Exact coco-derived surfactants are not disclosed.
“Excipients Q.S.” limits complete ingredient transparency.
Lemon oil may not suit fragrance-sensitive users.
Human skin-irritation testing is not established by this report.
Food-contact residue safety is not established by this report.
Total residual chlorine result cannot be confirmed against its stated limit.
Claims vs Evidence
| Claim | Our Assessment |
|---|---|
| Herbal / Plant-based | Supported by disclosed soap nut and coconut-derived ingredients. |
| Non-toxic | Not independently established for human toxicity by the supplied report. |
| Biodegradable | Manufacturer claim; the supplied report provides environmental-related data but is not a complete biodegradability certification. |
| No chemical residue | Not established by the supplied testing. |
| Gentle on hands | Cannot be concluded from pH alone; lemon oil and surfactants may still cause irritation in sensitive users. |
Product Characteristics
Herbal Strategi NatureDrop has a relatively transparent core formulation built around soap nut
extract and coconut-derived cleaners, and it is supported by a laboratory report containing
useful environmental and toxicity-related test parameters. The reported pH and most tested
heavy-metal and environmental parameters are favourable, while the 96-hour bio-assay reported
95% survival. However, the complete formulation is not disclosed, lemon oil may be unsuitable
for some fragrance-sensitive users, and the supplied report does not establish human toxicity,
skin-irritation safety or food-contact residue safety. The residual-chlorine result also cannot
be confirmed against the report’s stated limit.
This review is based on the supplied product label/images, the supplied Ganesh Consultancy &
Analytical Services test report dated 03-12-2025, and currently available manufacturer information.
Product claims are not treated as independently verified unless supported by appropriate evidence.
Laboratory results apply only to the tested sample and listed parameters.
