1. Washing Soda
Sodium Carbonate
Why We Chose It
The backbone of the formula. It breaks down grease, lifts embedded dirt, softens hard water, and neutralizes odors.
The Story
Used by people for thousands of years — the oldest cleaning ingredient known to humanity. Found naturally as trona ore and the mineral natron.
2. Baking Soda
Sodium Bicarbonate
Why We Chose It
Balances the pH of the wash water so washing soda does not become too harsh, and deodorizes powerfully.
The Story
Also found in natural mineral deposits. First mass-produced by Arm & Hammer in 1846.
3. Sodium Percarbonate
Why We Chose It
Our stain fighter and brightener. It releases hydrogen peroxide in the wash water, targeting stubborn stains.

4. Citric Acid

Our plant-based surfactant. Natural saponins reduce water surface tension so it penetrates fabric and lifts oils.
