I am asking an improved edition of [this question](https://cooking.stackexchange.com/q/43038). Doubtless, it's dicey to wash produce with conventional soap. But what about fragrance-free, dye-free, preservative-free, hypoallergic, non-toxic, environmentally friendly natural **(even organic)** dish soap? These soaps appear safer because they —- - ["doesn’t contain any dyes or synthetic fragrances"](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-dish-soap) or [colorants](https://ireadlabelsforyou.com/products-i-like-non-toxic-dishwashing-soap/#soap-1)?
- - are free from ["antibacterial ingredients from certain soaps because of evidence that they might harm long-term health"](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-dish-soap)
- - are free from toxins like [1,4-dioxane + phthalates](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-dish-soap) + [cocamidopropyl betaine](https://gimmethegoodstuff.org/safe-product-guides/dish-soap)?
- #### In other words, don't such bio-degradable dish soaps resemble [Fruit & Vegetable washes](https://www.bhg.com/recipes/how-to/cooking-basics/fruit-and-vegetable-wash/)? If so, can't the former be utilized as the latter? If not, what distinguishes such natural organic dish soaps from Fruit & Vegetable Wash?
