Even the fragrance is from natural essential oils. The best part is that they created a game-changing fast-rinse technology for their conditioners, so that it can be washed off much faster unlike usual conditioners.

Greener laundry for your family: Seventh Generation

Laundry is one of our least favourite tasks and also the one we usually don’t give much thoughts to. We pick up the one that is on bulk sale and think we are good to go. As long as it cleans our clothes, how does it matter what’s inside right?

Well, wrong. Cheap and strong chemically infused detergents are not only bad for the environment but they might actually be the reason for your skin allergies or rashes if they are not washed off properly.

 

 

Seventh Generation uses renewable plant based ingredients that they believe is much “more sustainable option than ingredients made from petroleum” Their packaging is also made from recyclable materials. This brand is great for helping you reach a greener life with quality products.

You might be wondering if the plant-based ingredients are tough on stains and we are happy to tell you that our Try and Review testers gave this detergent a 4.8/5 for cleaning well and being good for sensitive skin.
