How does it work?

Unlike traditional detergents that use synthetic surfactants (like SLS) to trap dirt, we uses a natural alkaline reaction to break down stains and odor, all while trapping dirt and oils.

Here’s how each ingredient plays a role:

  • Washing Soda (Sodium Carbonate) – Increases water alkalinity to break down grease, oils, and stains.

  • Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) – Neutralizes acidic odors and lifts dirt from fabric fibers.

  • Sea Salt (Sodium Chloride) – Helps soften water and enhances stain removal.

  • Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate) – Acts as a natural fabric softener, reducing static cling and residue buildup.

Together, these ingredients create a powerful yet gentle cleaning solution that removes grime without leaving behind residue or toxins.

Why plastic & soap free matters

Traditional detergents can leave behind residue that traps dirt and irritates sensitive skin.

Our formula is:

✔ Residue-Free: No buildup on clothes, keeping fabrics fresh and breathable.

✔ Safe for Sensitive Skin: No synthetic fragrances, dyes, or irritating chemicals.

✔ Hard Water Friendly: Unlike soap, which reacts with hard water to form soap scum, our formula works in any water type.

✔ Home-Compostable Packaging & Biodegradable Product: No waste, no toxins, just clean clothes and a cleaner planet.
