What It IsCe que c'est
Plant-Based Dish SoapSavon à vaisselle à base de plantes
A plant-based dish soap that cuts grease as cleanly as a conventional detergent — without the phosphates, sulfate fragrance carriers, or VOCs.Un savon à vaisselle à base de plantes qui coupe la graisse aussi proprement qu'un détergent conventionnel — sans phosphates, sans transporteurs de parfum sulfatés, sans COV.
Built around a coconut-derived surfactant system designed to cut kitchen grease, dried sauce, and cooked-on food residue. Handles dishes, pots, pans, utensils, and general kitchen surfaces. Gentle on hands because the surfactant system is paired, not overloaded.Conçu autour d'un système de tensioactifs dérivés de la noix de coco pour couper la graisse de cuisine, la sauce séchée et les résidus cuits. Gère vaisselle, casseroles, poêles, ustensiles et surfaces de cuisine. Doux sur les mains parce que le système de tensioactifs est jumelé, pas surchargé.
Ships unscented. Choose from 20+ natural essential-oil fragrances sold separately — no synthetic fragrance carriers, no phthalates, no parabens.Vendu sans parfum. Choisissez parmi plus de 20 huiles essentielles naturelles vendues séparément — sans transporteurs de parfum synthétiques, sans phtalates, sans parabènes.

03 Benefits
Cuts Grease, Not SkinCoupe la graisse, pas la peau
- Paired coconut surfactants lift dried sauce, cooked cheese, and standard kitchen grease in one wash.Tensioactifs de noix de coco jumelés qui décollent la sauce séchée, le fromage cuit et la graisse de cuisine en un lavage.
- Cocamidopropyl betaine buffers the cleaning action — so the chemistry that lifts food off the plate doesn't strip the oils off your hands.Cocamidopropyl bétaïne qui tamponne l'action nettoyante — la chimie qui décolle la nourriture ne décape pas les huiles de vos mains.
- Phosphate-free. Phosphates feed algae blooms in downstream waterways. Not in this bottle.Sans phosphates. Les phosphates alimentent les algues dans les cours d'eau en aval. Pas dans cette bouteille.
- Biodegradable per OECD 301D. Breaks down in standard waste-water conditions. Septic-safe in standard household use.Biodégradable selon OECD 301D. Se décompose dans les conditions d'eaux usées standards. Compatible fosse septique en usage standard.

04 How to Use
Daily UseUsage quotidien
A Small Amount on a Wet SpongeUne petite quantité sur une éponge humide
Pea-sized amount handles a normal sink. Two pumps for a full sink; scale up for burnt-on pans. Work the suds onto the dirtiest item first.Une petite quantité suffit pour un évier normal. Deux pompées pour un évier plein ; ajustez pour les casseroles brûlées. Travaillez la mousse sur l'article le plus sale en premier.
Hot Water HelpsL'eau chaude aide
The paired-surfactant chemistry works faster in hot water. Cold-water washing works but is slower on baked-on residues.La chimie de tensioactifs jumelés travaille plus vite à l'eau chaude. Le lavage à l'eau froide fonctionne mais est plus lent sur les résidus cuits.
Rinse, No FilmRincez, sans film
Suds break down quickly under the tap. No phosphate carriers or sulfate dye to leave a coating on glasses. Dishes come out clear, not slick.La mousse se brise rapidement au robinet. Sans support phosphate ni colorant sulfaté, donc pas de film sur les verres. La vaisselle ressort claire, pas glissante.

What Customers Say After the Switch
From greenwash-burned shoppers to allergy households — here's what changed when they swapped in Sampson.
I love this dish soap. Great quality and very effective in getting dishes clean. The scent is really nice as well.
I love the eucalyptus lavender scent. I used to live in Montreal but now I travel from Bromont to get it. I converted my household to these products and have noticed my skin sensitivity has diminished. Fabulous.
Small amount gets through a sink full of dishes.
Smells fresh. Goes on a long way, little goes far.
Greenwashing's favourite category
Plant-based dish soap should cut grease. Most "green" dish soaps are diluted to fail.
The eco dish soap aisle is full of products that under-deliver against conventional detergent — and the buyer goes back. Sampson Eco Dish Soap is built on a coconut-derived surfactant system paired (not overloaded) to cut kitchen grease, dried sauce, and cooked-on food residue at conventional-detergent strength.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate — the petroleum surfactant most conventional dish soaps are built on — is the dermatology gold-standard irritant control in skin patch testing. 20+ years, 43,000+ patients tested. (German Contact Dermatitis Research Group / European Society of Contact Dermatitis baseline series)
Phthalates hide under "fragrance" — no disclosure required (EWG)
~50% of global surfactant consumption is household — most of it ending up in waterways (Arora 2022)

We Spent 30+ Years Cleaning Up Contamination. Then We Checked Under the Sink. Nous avons passé 30+ ans à décontaminer des sites. Puis nous avons regardé sous l'évier.
Diana Trasente and Angelo Diadelfo are environmental engineers with Master's degrees and over 30 years remediating contaminated soil and water across Canada. They know industrial chemicals intimately — PCBs, heavy metals, synthetic surfactants, petroleum solvents. Diana Trasente et Angelo Diadelfo sont des ingénieurs en environnement avec des maîtrises et plus de 30 ans d'expérience en décontamination de sols et d'eau au Canada.
Then they started reading the labels on their own household cleaners. The same classes of synthetic chemicals they spent their careers cleaning up were sitting in their kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Puis ils ont commencé à lire les étiquettes des nettoyants ménagers chez eux. Les mêmes classes de produits chimiques qu'ils passaient leur carrière à nettoyer se trouvaient dans leur cuisine, salle de bain et buanderie.
In 2010, they founded Sampson Eco Shop — applying the same scientific rigor to household cleaners that they applied to environmental remediation. Every product starts with one question: What's actually in here, and is it safe to put down a drain? En 2010, ils ont fondé Sampson Eco Shop — appliquant la même rigueur scientifique aux nettoyants ménagers qu'à la décontamination. Chaque produit commence par une question: Qu'est-ce qu'il y a vraiment dedans, et est-ce sécuritaire de l'envoyer dans un drain?
“Every cleaner we make starts with the same question we'd ask on a contamination site: what's actually in here, and what happens when it goes down the drain?” “Chaque nettoyant qu'on fabrique commence par la même question qu'on poserait sur un site contaminé: qu'est-ce qu'il y a vraiment dedans, et qu'est-ce qui se passe quand ça va dans le drain?”— Diana Trasente, M.Eng. — Diana Trasente, M.Ing.
The Method
How Sampson Eco Dish Soap Cuts Grease.
Four steps. Coconut-derived surfactant system at conventional-detergent strength — without the petroleum chemistry that conventional dish soap leans on.
Step 1 — Wetting + grease cut
Drops water's surface tension so it penetrates greasy dishes — without the dermal-irritation profile of conventional petroleum-surfactant dish soaps.
Step 2 — Emulsification + skin protection
Breaks grease into water-suspendable droplets — and combines coconut-derived surfactants so the formula stays gentle on hands across long dish-washing sessions.
Step 3 — Chelation + alkali boost
Binds water hardness and brings the wash to grease-cutting pH so the formula works on any tap water — soft or hard.
Step 4 — Rinse-out, then break-down
Surfactants flush down the drain and break down in wastewater treatment instead of persisting in the watershed.

Format Matters
How Eco Dish Soap Compares to What's On The Shelf
Dish soap is greenwashing's favourite aisle. Here's the chemistry behind the labels.
| Sampson Eco Dish Soap | Conventional drugstore dish soap | "Eco" / greenwashed dish soap | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surfactant origin | Plant-derived (coconut) | Petroleum-derived (often SLS-based) | Mixed; rarely disclosed |
| Phthalates in fragrance | None — no sulfate-based fragrance carrier | Hidden under "fragrance" — not required to disclose | Often hidden |
| Scent | Ships unscented; choose from 20+ natural essential-oil fragrances | Single proprietary fragrance — phthalate carrier likely | Single "natural" scent, source rarely disclosed |
| Phosphates | None | ≤0.5% (regulatory cap) | Usually phosphate-free |
| VOC content | None | Variable, undisclosed | Sometimes disclosed |
| Biodegradable to OECD 301D | Yes | No | Sometimes claimed |
| Cuts grease at conventional-detergent strength | Yes | Yes (the petroleum-driven baseline) | Often diluted to fail |
The format is the difference. Same plant chemistry, same engineering rigor — without the bottle, the water weight, or the synthetic add-ons.
