Small-Batch • Non-Toxic • Kind to Skin & Planet

Give your laundry the fresh, clean start it deserves. Our handcrafted laundry detergent is made in small batches using traditional soap-making methods, beginning with pure coconut oil that is transformed into a gentle, effective cleansing soap. We pair it with mineral-based boosters for a deeper clean — without harsh chemicals, fillers, dyes, or synthetic fragrances.

This detergent is powerful enough for daily laundry, yet gentle enough for sensitive skin, baby clothing, and those looking to avoid unnecessary additives.


Ingredients

Distilled Water, Saponified Coconut Oil (Coconut Oil + Sodium Hydroxide), Borax, Washing Soda, Aluminum-Free Baking Soda, Sodium Percarbonate, Lemon Essential Oil.

Note: Sodium Hydroxide is used only in the saponification process and none remains in the final product.

  • A whisk or spoon

  2. Add the Powdered Soap
