Does “Original” on EPHYON 2.0kg Dishwashing Liquid mean fragrance-free, odorless or hypoallergenic?

Direct answer: “Original” means that no fragrance is added to this product, but it does not mean completely odorless or hypoallergenic. The current description for EPHYON 2.0kg Original Dishwashing Liquid states “fragrance-free.” Follow the directions on the bottle and rinse with clean water; if you are sensitive to fragrances or particular ingredients, check the formula information before purchase.

This product is a 2.0 kg liquid dishwashing detergent. The product description states 'no added fragrance' and lists the cleaning methods for tableware, vegetables, and fruits. For consumers, '“Original”' most directly means that no extra fragrance has been added to enhance the scent, rather than assuring all odors and all sensitive reactions.

Even without added fragrances, products may carry a slight odor from the raw materials. The 'fragrance-free' description by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Safer Choice program also points out that functional ingredients such as surfactants and solvents may have their own odor. Therefore, 'fragrance-free' is not the same concept as 'absolutely no smell at all.'

"Hypoallergenic" also needs to be judged separately. It involves the complete formula, usage method, contact time, and individual circumstances, and cannot be inferred from the two words '“Original”.' People whose skin is easily irritated, have a clear history of allergies to certain ingredients, or need to wash frequently should confirm the ingredient information before purchasing, wear household gloves when using it, and avoid letting the detergent remain on the skin for a long time.

The 2.0kg “Original” EPHYON Dishwashing Liquid has two common uses: you can add a few drops to clean water, soak tableware, vegetables, or fruits for about 1 minute, then rinse with clean water; or you can drip the product onto a cloth to wipe the surface of tableware or cookware, then rinse with clean water. The actual amount used should be based on the instructions on the bottle and the quantity of items to be cleaned.

When washing food or tableware, the final rinse with clean water is very important. Do not skip rinsing just because the product has no obvious fragrance, and do not arbitrarily increase the amount to get more foam. The amount of foam does not directly represent cleaning effectiveness; using the amount indicated on the label makes rinsing easier.

If someone at home is particularly sensitive to scents, you can first distinguish three issues: whether fragrance is added, whether the product itself has the smell of its ingredients, and whether the user is sensitive to a certain component. The first issue can be checked on the current label; the second may vary normally due to ingredients and batch differences; the third requires combining personal experience and professional advice.

When purchasing, you can also pay attention to whether the packaging is intact, the label is clear, and the net content and production information are identifiable. The product should be kept in its original packaging, the bottle cap should be tightened after use, and it should be placed out of reach of children and pets; if it accidentally touches the eyes or causes discomfort, handle it promptly according to the instructions on the label.

Therefore, '“Original”' is not a word that encompasses all health implications. For this EPHYON Dishwashing Liquid, it can be accurately understood as 'fragrance-free' as stated in the product description; as for the perception of odor, individual sensitivity, and specific formulation issues, they should be judged separately. This way, the true characteristics of the product are not overlooked, and the name is not interpreted as containing information beyond the label.
