Microplastic Status
We could not fully establish everything Fairy Original Washing Up Liquid is made of, or its materials (synthetic surfactants, preservatives, perfume) sit in a class where the published evidence is genuinely mixed. "Lower concern, caveats" is not a signal that the product does shed microplastics — it means we could not get far enough to say that it does not.
How we assess products
We work from published information; we do not lab-test, and a verdict here is never a claim that we have.

About This Product
Based on P&G's published ingredient list for Fairy Original — surfactants, preservatives, perfume and fragrance allergens — we found no PEG and no other synthetic polymer, so we cannot support the microplastic claims sometimes made about it. P&G discloses ingredient classes rather than a full formulation, which is why we rate it lower concern with caveats rather than low concern.
