How is Sensitive Laundry Liquid certified for sustainability?Updated an hour ago
TL;DR: Sensitive Laundry Liquid is recognised by three independent bodies: GECA (Good Environmental Choice Australia), certified June 2026, Sensitive Choice (National Asthma Council Australia), and Dermatest. Beyond cert bodies, it's septic compatible and suitable for grey water when used as directed, packed in bag-in-box (less plastic than bottles), made in Victoria, Australia, and uses RSPO-certified surfactant suppliers.
Is it GECA-certified?
✓ GECA certified
Sensitive Laundry Liquid has been GECA certified since June 2026. Certification is assessed per product rather than across a brand, so each Koh product holds its own licence. Koh's full liquid cleaning range and both tab products are certified. Sensitive Laundry Sheets are the only Koh cleaning product not currently certified.
What independent certifications does it currently hold?
✓ GECA certified
GECA is Australia's only multi-sector ecolabel, recognised under ISO 14024. The standard covers ingredients, packaging, manufacturing, and performance rather than a single attribute, and products are independently audited at certification and every four years on renewal. Sensitive Laundry Liquid has been certified since June 2026.
✓ Sensitive Choice approved
Sensitive Choice is a program from the National Asthma Council Australia. Products carrying the blue butterfly logo have been reviewed by an independent expert panel for their potential benefit to people with asthma and allergies. Sensitive Laundry Liquid approval was renewed September 2025.
✓ Dermatest seal
Dermatest is an independent German dermatology institute that has tested skin-contact products since 1978. Products are assessed via patch testing on a panel of subjects, with skin monitored for reactions over 24, 48, and 72 hours. Seals are awarded at three levels: Good, Very Good, and Excellent. Sensitive Laundry Liquid carries the seal at the top tier, excellent skin tolerability, renewed September 2025.
What other sustainability features does it have?
✓ Bag-in-box packaging
Around 80 percent less plastic than equivalent bottle packaging. The cardboard outer is curbside recyclable; the inner bag goes to soft plastics recycling at major supermarkets.
✓ Septic compatible
Suitable for use in homes with septic systems, and for grey water reuse on the garden, when used as directed. Readily biodegradable surfactants break down quickly in waste water.
✓ RSPO-certified suppliers
Surfactants are sourced from suppliers certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), which addresses one of the most significant parts of cleaning product supply chains.
✓ Made in Victoria, Australia
Short domestic supply chain rather than international freight. 60-wash concentration means less product freighted per load compared to dilute detergents.
Around 60 washes per box. GECA certified, Sensitive Choice approved, Dermatest tested. Septic compatible. Made in Victoria, Australia.
