Fragrance is one of the most common sources of skin irritation in laundry products — including "natural" and "botanical" fragrance. For people witheczema, reactive skin, contact dermatitis, or fragrance sensitivity, even a well-intentioned essential oil can be the trigger. Our Unscented formula removes the variable entirely. No essential oils. No botanical fragrance blends. No masking agents. Nothing that could cause a reaction — just the cleanest possible wash
For people with sensitive or reactive skin, fragrance in laundry isn't a minor inconvenience — it's the most common contact allergen in everyday home products. Understanding why matters when choosing a detergent that actually works for your household.
Fragrance compounds — synthetic and botanical — bind to fabric fibres during the wash cycle. They don't rinse out completely. They remain in contact with your skin for 16 hours a day through your clothing and 8 hours through your sheets.
Linalool, limonene, geraniol, citronellol — naturally occurring terpenes present in essential oils — are among the most studied skin sensitisers in dermatology. "Natural fragrance" does not mean hypoallergenic. For reactive skin, it can be just as problematic as synthetic.
Our Unscented formula removes all fragrance compounds — natural and synthetic — and relies entirely on 4 targeted enzymes to break down odour-causing residue at the source. Clothes come out genuinely clean. Not masked. Not scented. Actually clean.
Next-generation protease engineered for cold-water and eco-cycle performance. Breaks down protein bonds at the molecular level — sweat, grass, blood, dairy, and body soil.
Cuts starch molecules into water-soluble fragments that rinse away cleanly. Prevents invisible starch buildup that traps other residue over time.
Breaks lipid bonds so fats rinse cleanly from fabric instead of building up with every wash — the leading cause of dingy-looking clothes over time.
Targets complex polysaccharides found in processed foods and condiments. Prevents residue buildup that makes fabrics feel stiff and look dull.
Breaks down pectin-based stains — fruit, tomato, berry, wine, and baby food. Particularly effective in cold water where most enzymes underperform.
Targets plant fiber and vegetable residue while simultaneously softening fabric and restoring brightness — without optical brighteners or synthetic additives.
Your clothes touch your skin
all day. Every day.
The residue from your laundry detergent stays on fabric after washing — and stays in contact with your skin the entire time you're wearing it. Synthetic fragrance. Optical brighteners. Surfactant residue.
That's not a laundry decision. That's a skin decision.
It's why we hold our laundry detergent to the same standard as skincare.

"I have never liked powdered laundry detergents because of residue left on my clothes. But I also don’t like using liquid detergents in plastic jugs for environmental reasons. Dissolvable laundry sheets also left funny residue marks on my dark clothes and I sometimes found them stuck to the side of my washing machine tub! When I tried this powder, my clothes felt clean, smelled clean ( meaning no smell at all) and I saw no residue marks of any kind. It’s a win!"
"I love how well it cleans with so little detergent used. Clothes feel great!! Nice to know it is all natural"
"Love your products. Safe cleaning products that really clean is rare and so are unscented products. Thank you!"
"I started to use and can’t say my clothes are noticeably any different, but I am so thankful I can buy product to clean in my home without manufacturing company toxicity in the product."
"Amazing different feel to washed and dried clothes. The washer glass window no longer has gritter debris on it. I'm hooked. Thank you for a great product. Next order will include Dishwasher product. Thank you!"
"The real deal no poison just clean."
"We love this laundry detergent. Since we've been using it we have definitely noticed there is ZERO 'gunk' in the washing machine. Previously we would have to clean out the machine periodically to keep that 'soap scum' from collecting in the machine. It's made a big difference in the laundry AND we use so little of it for each load - it's remarkable!"
"I really like the laundry detergent. It keeps my laundry fresh and there's no build up.❤️"
"great product"
