Format note: dishwashing liquid is not food, so there is no nutrition section on this page — nutrition does not apply, and no nutrition numbers are invented, estimated or borrowed. Each panel below quotes the verbatim ingredient list as printed. Where a list could not be verified, the product is in "seen but not verified", never panelled on a guess. Baby bottle cleansers are included on this page as dishwashing liquids for baby bottles — they are a distinct sub-type, flagged as such.
This page does not give a health score, a ranking or a "best" pick, and it does not show prices (they change weekly). It does not make efficacy or safety claims beyond what the label states — it describes ingredients as printed.
The headline, in 30 seconds
This is a thin page, and it says so plainly. Only one dishwashing liquid could be panelled with a full verbatim list that this page actually holds in hand. The rest of the Singapore shelf is in seen-but-not-verified, for the reasons given there — not hidden.
Why so thin: Singapore supermarkets do not expose ingredient data to search engines — FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant, Sheng Siong, Watsons and Guardian product pages are JS-rendered, unindexed, or carry no ingredient field. A first research pass on 5 November 2026 read retailer ingredient sections in a live browser and verified several lists; a follow-up re-verification pass the same day could not re-open those pages in ~30 web searches, so those lists are not reproduced here as re-verified — they are listed as seen-but-not-verified until a live-browser read or a pack photo confirms them.
Baby bottle cleansers are the only sub-type with any Singapore-anchored text at all in the re-verification pass (Pigeon via a Singapore listicle, corroborated by Australian retailer ingredient sections). Mainstream dishwashing liquids (Sunlight, Mama Lemon, Joy, TP 706, UIC, Smart Choice) publish no ingredient list on any indexed Singapore page.
Do not use the Vietnam Sunlight list as the SG list. A full-looking Sunlight Lemon list was found from a Vietnam-sourced article, and it conflicts with the first pass's description of the Watsons SG list (it contains no Citral and no Limonene, where the SG list was described as having both). Different market, different formula — it is documented in the research notes only.
MI/MCI preservatives recur across the non-SG lists found (Sunlight Vietnam, Koh Australia, Morning Fresh Australia, Bio-Home generic statement) — but that is a pattern across non-SG lists, and it cannot be asserted for the Singapore packs of Tollyjoy, TP 706 or Idocare without their lists.
No SLES in the classic list; fragrance named only as "Fragrance"
Panelled with a full verbatim list: 1 product. Seen-but-not-verified: 21 entries below. Sources: Singapore listicle (medium strength — see flag on the panel) corroborated by Australian retailer ingredient sections.
Pack size: 200ml · Made in: not stated (as printed)
As printed: Purified Water (Aqua), Sodium Citrate, Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Sucrose Laurate, Potassium Carbonate, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Fragrance.
Flag — medium strength, not a retailer ingredient section: this 9-item list is quoted from a Singapore listicle (The Wedding Vows SG, updated 27 Jan 2023), which presents it as the product's contents — but it is a secondary listicle, not a retailer ingredient section. It is corroborated verbatim, same 9 items in the same order, in Australian retailer ingredient sections: Chemist Warehouse AU (Pigeon Liquid Cleanser Refill 650ml — link) and Ramsay Pharmacy AU (450ml — link), plus an India pack transcription. That corroboration is for the same product name in other markets, not a Singapore pack read — the SG 200ml pack needs a pack-photo check to confirm it carries this formula. Conflict flagged: a different Pigeon product, "Pigeon Naturals Liquid Cleanser 200ml" (India), carries a different formula — Lauramine Oxide, Cocamide Monoethanolamine, Lauramidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Citrate, plus Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Benzoate, Polysorbate 20, Glyceryl Caprylate, Potassium Carbonate, Propylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Fragrance (TrueMeds India). Do not merge the two: the 9-item list above is the classic Liquid Cleanser; "Naturals" is a separate variant. Baby bottle cleanserNo SLES in classic listMedium strength — verify on SG pack
Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked
Tollyjoy Baby Antibacterial 900ml — SG brand (founded Singapore 1971; SG site confirms a "new anti-bacterial formula"). No ingredient list found anywhere — brand site gives no list; no retailer ingredient section surfaced. Generic only ("vegetable-based formula", "Antibacterial"). First pass recorded a full list, but it was not re-verified and its text is not reproduced here. Needs a pack photo or a live-browser retailer read.
Tollyjoy non-antibacterial 900ml — same as above; unclear from sources whether a distinct non-antibacterial 900ml SKU still exists separately from the antibacterial one. Needs a pack check.
Sunlight Lemon 100 800ml — stocked in Singapore (Watsons/FairPrice), but the Watsons SG list was not re-verified. The only full list found was Vietnam-sourced (no Citral, no Limonene) and conflicts with the first pass's description of the SG list (Citral + Limonene) — do not use it as the SG list. Needs a Watsons SG pack photo or live-browser read.
TP 706 Lemon 5L — sold in Singapore (PSC Corporation SG lists "TP706 dishwashing liquid" among its household brands; import data shows "TP706 DISH WASH LEMON 4 X 5L" Malaysia→Singapore). No ingredient list found anywhere (no brand site, no retailer page, no SDS).
Idocare Summer Citrus 5x 500ml — sold in Singapore (Little Green Dot SG review confirms "Summer Citrus Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid"; Helpling SG lists Idocare as sold at Lazada/FairPrice). No ingredient list found anywhere (brand site idocare.com.sg did not surface a product/ingredients page).
Mama Lemon (Regular / Lemon Gold / Antibacterial) — SDS-only fragment, not a full list. The Lion Corp SDS hosted on ISS Singapore names a single ingredient — "Sodium linear-alkylbenzensulfonate, CAS No. 68411-30-3" — and nothing else. An SDS §2 is a hazardous-ingredient disclosure, not a pack list. No full SG list found.
Fairy Liquid — UK label only, generic ranges, non-SG: "15-30% Anionic Surfactants, 5-15% Non-Ionic Surfactants, Benzisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Phenoxyethanol, Perfumes, Limonene". No evidence of SG supermarket stocking; likely parallel import only. Not a full verbatim list.
Kodomo Organic (Bottle & Nipple Liquid Cleanser) — generic only. A SG listicle describes the formula only as "(1) glucose from corn, (2) glucose from potato, (3) glucose from wheat, (4) fatty alcohol from coconut and (5) fatty alcohol from palm" — a source-ingredient description, not a verbatim pack list. No full list found. ("Kodomo Oganiku" appears in Vietnam import data, not SG.)
GW Ginger Lime — no list found; brand identity itself unclear. Searches returned only unrelated Seventh Generation (US) Fresh Lime & Ginger and Dunnes (Ireland) Ginger Lime lists — neither is "GW". No SG retailer or brand page for a "GW" dishwashing liquid surfaced. Possibly a house-brand abbreviation — needs clarification / pack photo before further searching.
Ecover (Zero / Lemon & Aloe) — partial + non-SG only. SG site exists but its FAQ is generic ("plant based or mineral ingredients… sugar cane in our washing-up liquids") with no per-product list. A German ingredient database gives a partial Zero list (Aqua, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Lauryl Glucoside, Glycereth-6 Cocoate, Coco Glucoside, Lactic Acid + 5 further ingredients behind registration). No full SG list.
Farcent — no list found. Farcent is a Taiwan company selling in SG among other markets; no SG product/ingredient page surfaced.
Hyvest — no list found. Searches returned only the unrelated US brand "Hyve" and Koh results. No SG product page, brand site or SDS surfaced.
UIC Big Value (Lemon / Lime / Anti-Bacterial) — no list found. No SG retailer or brand ingredient page surfaced for any variant. Remains generic-only as before.
Clean Conscience (2 variants) — no dishwashing-liquid list found. The brand is SG and is stocked at NTUC Finest/Cold Storage/Giant/Watsons, but all sources found concern its laundry pods only; no dishwashing liquid product page or ingredient list surfaced.
Bio-Home Lemongrass & Green Tea — generic-only statement (Malaysia listicle, country of origin stated as Singapore): "Ingredients: 15-30% Plant Derived Surfactants (Anionic, Non-Ionic and Amphoteric), Fragrance (Linalool, d-limonene), methylisothiazolinone, Benisothialolinone [sic — presumably Benzisothiazolinone]". Surfactant ranges + fragrance allergens only; not a full verbatim list. No SG retailer/brand list found.
Smart Choice 5L — no list found. No ingredient page surfaced; only a Lemon8 post mentioning the name in passing. Remains generic-only as before.
Joy (Sparkling Lime etc.) — generic/US only. US CPID entry (market: US/Canada) for Mandarin Orange Splash; US P&G MSDS lists only hazardous ethanol 0.1–1%. A spam/SEO page claims a FairPrice Joy page but contains no list. No SG full list found. Note: SG Joy is a P&G Philippines-format product; its SG pack list was not found online.
Axion (liquid) — SDS hazardous-components only, non-SG. Colgate-Palmolive US SDS (2005) lists calcium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (24%) as reportable components — not a full consumer list, and Axion in SG is primarily sold as paste. No SG liquid full list found.
Morning Fresh — full list exists but Australia-only (Open Food Facts AU: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulphate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Xylenesulfonate, Poloxamer 188, Fragrance, Tetrasodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, CI 59040, CI 42090; "Countries where sold: Australia"). SG Guardian stocking not confirmed by any ingredient source. Do not panel as SG.
Koh — full list exists but Australia-only (koh.com: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Formate, Glycerin, Protease, Lipase, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone & Calcium Chloride; "Made in Australia", AUD pricing). No SG retailer stocking found. Do not panel as SG.
House brands (FairPrice / Giant / Cold Storage / Sheng Siong own-label) — no own-label dishwashing liquid ingredient list surfaced for any SG house brand. (RedMart Antibacterial Dishwashing Liquid Lemon appears in import data, but no ingredient list was found.)
Other baby bottle cleansers seen in a SG listicle, no verbatim lists — Pureen Liquid Cleanser (3 variants), Fiffy Bottle Wash, Korea B&B, Farlin Clean 2.0, Dreft, ZERO All-Purpose Cleaner. All named in the same SG listicle as Pigeon; none has a retrievable list.
Nutrition — what the numbers say
Nutrition information does not apply to dishwashing liquid, and it is not printed for it. Dishwashing liquid is not food or drink: it has no energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, sugars or sodium content to compare, and no Nutri-Grade. This page therefore does not invent, estimate or borrow any nutrition numbers, and it keeps comparing what the packs do print — the ingredient list — exactly as before.
How to read a dishwashing liquid pack — the jargon, in plain English
SLES (sodium laureth sulfate) / LAS (sodium linear alkylbenzene sulfonate)
The main cleaning (surfactant) ingredients in most mainstream dishwashing liquids. SLES is the ethoxylated form; LAS is the workhorse anionic surfactant named on the Mama Lemon SDS fragment and the Vietnam Sunlight list. The Pigeon classic list is notable for containing neither.
Cocamidopropyl betaine
A co-surfactant used alongside SLES in most mainstream lists; it helps lather and thickens the formula.
Sucrose laurate
A sugar-based surfactant in the Pigeon classic list — a mild, food-derived cleaning ingredient, which is why it appears in a baby bottle cleanser rather than a mainstream dish liquid.
A preservative pair that recurs across the non-SG lists found (Sunlight Vietnam, Koh Australia, Morning Fresh Australia) and the Bio-Home generic statement. Named in full on the pack when present.
DMDM hydantoin
Another preservative, named in the Morning Fresh (Australia) and Sunlight (Vietnam) lists. It is a preservative, not a cleaning ingredient.
SDS ≠ pack list
A safety data sheet names only hazardous ingredients (for Mama Lemon, a single surfactant) — it is not the full ingredient list, and it must not be presented as one. The same applies to detergent-regulation band declarations ("15-30% anionic surfactants"), which give ranges, not a verbatim list.
Antibacterial
A label claim, not an ingredient. An antibacterial dishwashing liquid names its antibacterial active in the list when the pack prints one (for example hydroxydichlorodiphenyl ether in some Tollyjoy/Idocare descriptions from the first pass — not verified here). Without the list, the claim alone tells you nothing about the ingredient.
What this page is not
Not a lab test. Cleaning, grease-cutting and antibacterial claims were not measured; brand claims are quoted as brand claims.
Not a ranking, and not a "best" pick. One panelled list is not a comparison — it is the start of one.
Not a price comparison. Prices change weekly; formulations change less often, but still change.
Not complete. The products in seen-but-not-verified are not yet panelled, for the verification reasons given, not hidden. Pack photographs (front-photo-first, per the agreed rule) or a live-browser read of FairPrice/Shopee SG product pages is the step that would close most of the gaps on this page — Tollyjoy, TP 706 and Idocare have no list anywhere indexed, so only a pack photo or a live-browser read can close them.
Sources and method
Checked 5–6 November 2026. First pass (5 November 2026): retailer ingredient sections read in a live browser — Pigeon Baby Liquid Cleanser, Tollyjoy Baby Antibacterial and non-antibacterial, Sunlight Lemon 100, TP 706 Lemon and Idocare Summer Citrus recorded as verified with full lists (texts not retained for all). Re-verification pass (5 November 2026): ~30 web searches across FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant, Sheng Siong, Watsons, Guardian, RedMart, Lazada SG, Shopee SG, Don Don Donki, Mustafa, Meidi-Ya, Le Petit Depot, Little Farms, brand SG sites, Open Food Facts and SDS repositories — no FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant, Sheng Siong, Watsons, Guardian, RedMart, Lazada SG or Shopee SG product page with an ingredient section surfaced for any of these products, and site: queries returned nothing relevant. No rate limits or fetch failures were encountered — the gap is absence of indexed ingredient content, not a block. Non-SG lists found (Sunlight Vietnam, Morning Fresh Australia, Koh Australia, Fairy UK, Axion US SDS, Ecover German partial) are documented in the research notes only and are not panelled as SG packs. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes.
