Does Sensitive Laundry Liquid contain fabric softener?Updated 3 hours ago
TL;DR: Sensitive Laundry Liquid doesn't contain a traditional fabric softener. However, its enzyme blend actively supports fabric care, texture, and softness, so your clothes may feel better than you would expect without a separate softener.

What does it have instead of softener?
✓ Enzyme-based fabric care
Traditional fabric softeners coat fibres with a conditioning agent. Sensitive Laundry Liquid takes a different approach. Instead of coating, its enzyme blend works on the fabric itself to remove residue buildup that makes clothes feel stiff or heavy over time. The result is cleaner fibres with a softer feel wash after wash, without a coating additive.
✓ Key ingredients for fabric feel
✓ Cellulase removes dulling residues and reduces pilling on cotton and plant fibres
✓ Methyl cocoate is a coconut-derived cleaning agent that contributes to softness
✓ Protease, amylase, mannanase break down protein, starch, and plant residues
✓ Lipase targets oily and greasy buildup that can affect texture
Do I still need a separate fabric softener?
✓ Optional, depending on preference
That depends on your preference and fabric types. Some customers find the enzyme action is enough, particularly for everyday cottons and synthetics. If you prefer the feel of a dedicated softener or wash delicate items that benefit from extra conditioning, you can add one separately. Sensitive Laundry Liquid is compatible with standard fabric softeners added at the softener dispenser.
