Over the years, Cascade has evolved with decades of innovation to simplify the dreaded chore of dishwashing while keeping safety top of mind. Cascade has high standards, including ensuring an effortless clean, so you can focus on mealtimes without worry.
Our multi-step process exceeds industry standards, ensuring Cascade dish detergents are both safe and effective when used as directed.
From the standards we uphold to the ingredients we do and do not use, we follow a rigorous safety process that keeps your well-being a top priority. Our team of expert researchers and scientists continuously monitor and apply new scientific information to ensure we adhere to the latest safety methods. Cascade works to meet or exceed the most up-to-date regulations and safety guidance set by agencies including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Health Canada, and more.
We have a long list of ingredients we just won’t use, including phthalates and benzene, which are on our ingredient blacklist. We simply refuse to formulate with them. Take a look at our full “no” list here.
Our formulas are designed to rinse, wash, clean and dry dishes with ingredients you can trust. That’s why Cascade carefully selects safe and effective ingredients, so you can enjoy meals with Cascade-clean dishes with confidence.
We rigorously review each formulation to determine it’s safe under a number of situations. Cascade is also backed by hundreds of P&G scientists and safety experts who ensure each ingredient meets strict safety standards through rigorous evaluation.
