Does Sensitive Laundry Liquid contain fabric softener?Updated 21 hours ago
TL;DR: Sensitive Laundry Liquid does not contain a traditional fabric softener. However, its enzyme blend actively supports fabric care, texture, and softness - so your clothes may feel better than you'd expect without a separate softener.
No built-in softener - here's what it has instead
Traditional fabric softeners coat fibres with a conditioning agent to create a soft feel. Sensitive Laundry Liquid takes a different approach - instead of coating, its enzyme blend works on the fabric itself.
Key ingredients that support fabric feel and care:
- Cellulase - removes dulling residues and reduces pilling, supporting softness and colour retention, especially in cotton and plant-based fibres.
- Methyl Cocoate - a coconut-derived cleaning agent that contributes to softness in fabrics after washing.
- Enzyme blend (Protease, Amylase, Mannase) - breaks down protein, starch, and plant-based residues that can make fabric feel stiff or heavy over time.
- Lipase - targets oily and greasy residues that can build up in fibres and affect texture.
The result is cleaner fibres with less residue buildup - which contributes to a softer feel wash after wash, without a coating additive.

Do I still need a separate fabric softener?
That depends on your preference and fabric types. Some customers find the enzyme action is great, 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.
