Your new laundry detergent

Conventional laundry products often contain toxic chemicals that can irritate skin, compromise your health and harm the environment.

Laundry-care product manufacturers are not required to list all laundry detergent ingredients on packaging making it fairly difficult for consumers to make informed choices and identify chemicals that could lead to sensitivities.

Alternatives to traditional laundry detergents include brands such as Seventh Generation, Method, Caldrea, and Ecos. You can even also mix up your own safe laundry solutions at home with borax, washing soda and essential oil.
