Estonian translation:Vedel nõudepesuvahend
Explanation:
I would use just "vedel nõudepesuvahend", unless "lotion" means that the detergent is of creamy consistency

kätepalsamiga nõudepesuvahend


Explanation:
As lotion is obviously something that makes the detergent 'gentle to your hands' - as they usually promote these products, my suggestion is 'kätepalsamiga nõudepesuvahend' (detergent that contains hand lotion).

Explanation:
Out of context it is difficult to tell what the best translation would be. Both LOTION and LIQUID refer to the same quality of the product, that it is a liquid, not solid or gas. Currently there is no reference to hand balm or -lotion in the string.
