Where to get Oasis liquid all purpose/manual dish washing liquid soap?
https://www.bio-pac.com/oasis-biocompatible-cleaners/oasis-biocompatible-all-purpose-cleanerdishwash/

order via Amazon got cancelled with no ETA on when or if it will be back in stock. I messaged the company directly but I wonder if they're about to close permanently? The two natural foods markets in my area that might carry it, neither do (Whole Foods and Sprouts). UNFI which apparently is a big supplier for natural food stores, stopped carrying it. After a lot of research it looks like it's the most greywater friendly to put right on garden after use. I don't have the time, space, or climate to do a pond with plants to filter it. I am in the desert and doubt I could keep a pond going with plants etc. the water would heat up and cook the plants, or evaporate. But if I can't find the Oasis I may have to consider it, if anyone has suggestions. I also worry about animals getting in the pond because they are thirsty and drowning or getting caught in it somehow (been known to happen).
Does anyone have a source for the Oasis liquid all purpose / manual dishwashing soap? (by the way I tried the yucca root powder and soap nuts - maybe I was clean but I didn't feel like it. They didn't seem to cut oils on the skin, etc. If you want to see how they use yucca for washing hair, go to youtube "navajo grandma")

Sounds to me like there is a problem with the product and it has been taken off the market.

I saw several sellers are all out of stock.

Maybe until you can get it why not try just using vinegar or baking soda.

Could you try tea tree based soap? Works well for me.    Supply chain problems for many things are going , not just soap.  Get ready for tariffs disrupting trade, on a scale like pandemic times.  My experience with lumber, electronics and more

Have you considered using a sand filter to clean your gray water for garden use?

Maybe it's time to invest in a copy of Clean with Cleaners you can Eat by Raven Ranson...

Dr. Bronners is also widely available and pretty good multipurpose. And I think completely biodegradable.

Instead of a pond you could also do a mulch bed. Just lots of carbon rich material for the nutrient dense grey water to soak up in and compost. In most climates earth worms will show up and speed it all up further.

Or diluted castile soap. We use it for clothes washing, hand washing, shampoo, dish soap, to stop aphid farming on plants and it is the only soap we have. We divert all of our grey water to 3 greywater swales that we filled with mulch.
