How is Sensitive Laundry Liquid certified for sustainability?Updated 7 hours ago
TL;DR: Sensitive Laundry Liquid holds three independent certifications: Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) certified, Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia, and Dermatest tested. It's also septic compatible when used as directed, packed in bag-in-box, and made in Australia. The formula uses readily biodegradable ingredients with no chlorine and no phosphates.
Is Sensitive Laundry Liquid GECA certified?
✓ GECA certified
Sensitive Laundry Liquid is certified by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA). Certification is assessed per product rather than across a brand, so each Koh product holds its own licence rather than inheriting one from the range. Koh's liquid cleaning range is GECA certified.
What independent certifications does it hold?
✓ GECA certified
Good Environmental Choice Australia (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 again on renewal.
✓ 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 is Sensitive Choice approved.
✓ Dermatest tested
Dermatest is an independent German dermatology institute that has tested skin-contact products since 1978. Products are assessed by patch testing on a panel of subjects, with skin monitored for reactions over 24, 48 and 72 hours. Sensitive Laundry Liquid is Dermatest tested.
What about the packaging, the formula and where it's made?
✓ Bag-in-box packaging
Bag-in-box uses 80 to 90 per cent less plastic than a rigid container of the same volume, and it stacks and ships with a 4:1 logistics efficiency advantage. The cardboard box is curbside recyclable. The taped inner bag is not recyclable at this time, so it goes in general waste.
✓ Septic compatible when used as directed
The formula uses readily biodegradable ingredients with no chlorine, no phosphates and low sodium, so it won't harm the beneficial microbes a treatment system relies on when used as directed.
✓ Made in Australia
Blended and filled in Australia, so it travels a short domestic supply chain. One box gives around 60 washes, which means less product freighted per load than a dilute detergent.
⚠ Using it with a septic or greywater system
Three rules keep the claim accurate: use only as directed, never pour undiluted product into a septic or greywater system, and avoid excessive use.
If you're reusing greywater on the garden, three things decide whether it's suitable: your soil type, the plant species you're watering, with edible crops held to a stricter standard, and your local council rules. Check all three before you divert wash water.
Around 60 washes per box. GECA certified, Sensitive Choice approved, Dermatest tested. Septic compatible when used as directed. Made in Australia.
