The full review

Plant vs. Synthetic Surfactants

Earthbath uses coconut-derived cocamidopropyl betaine instead of sodium lauryl sulfate. Both clean effectively — the difference is environmental biodegradability and reduced skin sensitization risk with plant-derived surfactants. For dogs with documented sensitivity to SLS, the plant-based formula may reduce post-bath itching.

Tucker's bottom line

The right choice for owners who prioritize clean formulations. Functionally similar to Burt's Bees; the premium pays for plant sourcing and biodegradability.
