How is Sensitive Laundry Liquid certified for sustainability?Updated 6 hours ago

TL;DR: Sensitive Laundry Liquid is currently recognised by two independent bodies, Sensitive Choice (National Asthma Council Australia) and Dermatest. It's not currently GECA-certified. Beyond cert bodies, it's septic and grey water safe, packed in bag-in-box (less plastic than bottles), made in Victoria, Australia, and uses RSPO-certified surfactant suppliers.

Is it GECA-certified?

Not currently. Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid is not GECA-certified at this time. GECA (Good Environmental Choice Australia) is Australia's independent environmental certification body. Some other Koh products are GECA-certified, including Universal Cleaner and Dishwashing Tablets, but each Koh product is assessed independently and certifications are not transferable across the range. Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid is currently recognised by Sensitive Choice (National Asthma Council Australia) for its suitability for people with asthma and allergies, and is Dermatest tested with an excellent skin tolerability rating.

What independent certifications does it currently hold?

Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid currently holds two independent certifications. Sensitive Choice approval from the National Asthma Council Australia (renewed September 2025) recognises the product as suitable for people with asthma and allergies, after review by an independent expert panel. The Dermatest seal (renewed September 2025) is awarded after patch testing on a panel of subjects with skin reactions monitored over 24, 48, and 72 hours. Sensitive Laundry Liquid carries the seal at the highest tier, excellent skin tolerability. Both certifications are renewed periodically.

✓ 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?

Beyond independent cert bodies, Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid has several sustainability properties customers commonly ask about. The packaging is bag-in-box, which uses around 80 percent less plastic than equivalent bottle packaging. The product is septic and grey water safe, which means it can be used safely in homes with septic systems and reused on garden water. The formula uses readily biodegradable surfactants sourced from RSPO-certified suppliers (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil), which addresses one of the most environmentally significant parts of any cleaning product supply chain. The product is concentrated, giving 60 washes per 1.5L box, which reduces freight emissions per wash compared to dilute liquid detergents. Manufactured in Victoria, Australia, which means a short domestic supply chain rather than international freight.

✓ 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 and grey water safe

Safe to use in homes with septic systems and safe to reuse on garden water. 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.
