You can request a free sample on their main page.
Looks promising. Two things that caught my eye on the MSDS are the extreme non-specificity of hazardous ingredients, and the almond odor. On the first, I doubt that this product contains anything that is very bad, but there is no indication of any ingredients, other than being "soap" based.

On the second, it makes this product a non-starter for our team, as it indicates that it may contain esters of almonds. We have a student on our team, who is highly allergic to tree nuts, like almonds.
