Most laundry detergents have toxic ingredients such as 1,4 dioxane (causes cancer), SLS/SLES, parabens, phosphates, sulfates, synthetic dyes, optical brighteners, & more. Your laundry detergent gets absorbed into your body through your skin (your largest organ) so it’s important to avoid these ingredients.
Brands like All, Seventh Generation, Tide, Persil, Gain, Earthbreeze, Arm & Hammer, Charlie’s Soap, and Nellies contain some these ingredients and much more. When these brands were evaluated, the testers used twi criteria: (1) clean ingredients (we want to avoid dangerous chemicals) and (2) cleaning power (we don’t want to compromise on effectiveness) .

My favorite laundry detergent is made from safe, natural, and plant-based ingredients. It is effective at cleaning and eliminating odors – and it doesn’t contain dangerous chemicals, optical brighteners, sulfates, phosphates, parabens, chlorine, or synthetic dyes (that works for me!)
