Ingredient list and what it does
| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| Water | Acts as the main solvent, helping dissolve and distribute all ingredients evenly throughout the wash for consistent cleaning performance. |
| Potassium Citrate | A natural water softener and pH buffer that helps improve cleaning efficiency and maintain formula stability without irritation. |
| Phenoxyethanol + Caprylyl Glycol | A gentle preservative system that protects the product from microbial growth while being low-irritation and suitable for sensitive users. |
| Alcohols (C12-14) Ethoxylated | A biodegradable, plant-derived surfactant that effectively removes dirt and grease while remaining mild on fabrics and skin. |
| Sodium Formate | Acts as a stabiliser and water softener, helping enzymes perform efficiently and maintaining product freshness. |
| Phosphodiesterase | Helps break down tough organic residues and combat malodour. Also supports brighter whites and more vibrant colours by helping prevent greying over time. |
| Potassium Hydroxide | Used in small amounts to balance pH and activate fatty acids into mild cleaning agents (soap formation). |
| Potassium Oleate | A naturally derived soap that helps lift and dissolve oily stains, providing a gentle, skin-friendly cleansing action. |
| Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Lauryl Glucoside | Ultra-mild, sugar-based surfactants that enhance cleaning power and foam while being gentle on skin and fully biodegradable. |
| Methyl Cocoate | A coconut-derived cleaning agent that helps dissolve oily soils and contributes to softness in fabrics after washing. |
| Cellulase | Helps remove dulling residues and reduce pilling, while supporting softness and colour retention - especially on cotton and other plant-based fibres. |
| Lipase | Targets and breaks down oily and greasy stains for improved cleaning performance, even in cooler wash cycles. |
| Enzyme blend (Protease, Amylase, Mannase) | A broad enzyme blend that targets common stain types: proteins (like sweat and food), starches (like pasta and rice), and plant-based residues (like fruit and veg). |
| C10 Alcohol, Ethoxylated | A mild, non-ionic surfactant that boosts detergent performance by helping water mix with oils and soils. |
| Sodium Hydroxide | Used in trace amounts to adjust pH and support surfactant performance, ensuring product stability and effectiveness. |
| Sodium Chloride | Acts as a natural viscosity adjuster and stabiliser, helping keep texture and performance consistent. |
