Most Important Ingredients

NAME

Glycerin

FUNCTION

Glycerin in laundry detergent acts as an added moisturizer for clothes. It helps maintain the suppleness and softness of fabrics even after repeated washing.

NAME

Saponins

FUNCTION

In laundry detergent, saponins act as natural detergents that effectively remove dirt and stains. They help loosen and remove dirt and oils from textile fibers, cleaning clothes thoroughly.

NAAM

Polyvinylalcohol

FUNCTION

Polyvinyl alcohol in detergent helps form a protective film around dirt particles and stains. This film prevents dirt from re-attaching to the fabric during washing, making it easier to rinse away.

NAAM

Protease

FUNCTION

Protease in laundry detergent is an enzyme that helps break down proteins, such as food stains and body dirt on clothing. This effectively removes stubborn stains and keeps garments clean and fresh after washing.

Other Ingredients

🌿 Plant based: Our SLS is made from the highest quality coconut oil

Function: SLS acts as a surfactant, which means it helps to mix water and oil, allowing dirt and grease to be removed from surfaces or fabrics. It is also responsible for the foaming effect.

*Important: Although the ingredient SLS is known to be not skin-friendly, it does not negatively affect the skin friendliness of our detergent. Which is always pH-skin neutral and extremely suitable for sensitive skin. This is partly because we dose SLS very carefully

CAS No 151-21-3

🌿 Plant based: Water is a natural substance

Function: Water is the solvent in our detergent, helping to dilute and mix all ingredients. It also facilitates the interaction between the detergent and the surface to be cleaned

CAS No 7732-18-5

🌿 Plant based: Starch is a natural polysaccharide extracted from plant sources such as corn, potatoes, or rice

Function: Contributes to the consistency of our detergent and serves as a biodegradable replacement for synthetic polymers

CAS No 9005-25-8

👨‍🔬 Synthetic: The original alcohols are natural but have been treated with ethylene oxide, a synthetic substance, to improve their surface active properties

Function: Used for their ability to help dissolve fats and oils in water, making the cleaning process more effective

CAS No 66213-23-0

👨‍🔬 Synthetic: Obtained by the chemical reaction between lauryl alcohol (derived from coconut) and glucose (natural)

Function: This is a nonionic surfactant used to remove dirt and grease without producing too much foam. It is mild and is used specifically in products intended for sensitive skin

CAS No 110615-47-9

🌿 Plant based: Derived from natural coconut oil and glycerol

Function: Acts as a surfactant and emulsifier. It helps bind water with oil and dirt, allowing them to be easily rinsed away

CAS No 68201-46-7

🌿 Plant based: It is the sodium salt of citric acid, which occurs naturally in citrus fruits

Function: Sodium citrate is used as a water softener by binding calcium and magnesium in the water, increasing the effectiveness of surfactants. It also serves as a pH regulator to maintain an ideal pH level for detergent

CAS No 68-04-2

Most Important Ingredients

NAME

α-Amylase

FUNCTION

Breaks down starch into sugars, helping to break down starch-containing food scraps, making them easier to remove from dishes and keeping them clean

NAAM

Polyvinylalcohol

FUNCTION

Polyvinyl alcohol ensures that the ingredients of our dishwasher strips are released in a controlled manner. When the dishwasher strip is placed in water, it dissolves completely, releasing the active ingredients.

NAAM

Protease

FUNCTION

Breaks down proteins to help remove protein-based food residues, such as eggs and dairy products, from dishes, improving cleaning performance.

Other Ingredients

🌿 Plant-based: Derived from coconut oil Function: Helps lower the surface tension of water, making it easier to spread and penetrate dirt and grease on dishes.

It also has foaming properties that help lift and suspend dirt particles so they are washed away during the rinse cycle. CAS No 151-21-3

🌿 Plant based: Derived from glucose (from corn) and decanol (a fatty alcohol derived from coconut oil).

Function: Removes dirt and grease in a gentle but effective manner

CAS No 110615-47-9

👨‍🔬 Synthetic: Reaction of isotridecanol (vegetable) with ethylene oxide

Function: Emulsifies oils and removes grease and residue from dishes CAS No 9005-25-8

👨‍🔬 Synthetic: Produced from ethylenediamine, formaldehyde and sodium cyanide or chloroacetic acid.

Function: Binds to metal ions (such as calcium and magnesium) in hard water and prevents them from interfering with the cleaning action of the detergent, improving its overall effectiveness. CAS No 64-02-8
