It's a chemical compound made up of magnesium (a laxative), sulfur (an antibacterial) and oxygen- aka something I don't know too much about but saved my tired soles after a 3 day bender walking the strip in Las Vegas one time.

Fresh.Simple.NaturalI don't own a dishwasher. Growing up we had a dishwasher but after I moved to college and beyond it was a luxury that just didn't make it to the necessity list. 10 years and counting I've been hand washing crusty cereal bowls and scraping pans and it doesn't bother me a bit! I love Dawn dish soap with all my heart, I really do- but MAN it can do a number on your hands (it has super woman powers to remove grease aka stripping your skin from softening oils).
