Laundry Detergent Sheets Ingredients

Use: Processing Aid and Additive

CAS Number: 9005-25-8

Corn starch is a carrier that can also be found in makeup and personal care products. A carrier does just what it sounds like – it helps carry a product to a surface by thinning or thickening the formula or simply ensuring even distribution of the other ingredients in the formula. We use corn starch because without a carrier, the product would not work with the same consistency across a surface. We also sometimes use corn starch as an absorbent that soaks up a product formula and helps deliver it to the intended surface.

Use: Polymer

CAS Number: 9002-89-5

Polyvinyl alcohol is a carrier that can be found in a variety of cosmetics, personal care and household products. A carrier does just what it sounds like – it helps carry a product to a surface by ensuring even distribution of the ingredients in the formula. A polyvinyl alcohol substrate is used for our products to hold the ingredients in a convenient dosage form. Once the sheet is dropped into water, the film dissolves, releasing the product for dilution and making it ready to use.

Use: Surfactant

CAS Number: 25155-30-0

Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate is a cleaning agent, or “surfactant,” that is one of a group of ingredients commonly used in bath products, cleansing products, shampoos and hair conditioners. We use it in our products to remove dirt and deposits. It surrounds dirt particles to loosen them from the surface to which they are attached.

Use: Surfactant

CAS Number: 68131-39-5

Ethoxylated Alcohol is a cleaning agent, or “surfactant,” that can also be found in household cleaning products like all-purpose cleaners and automobile cleaning products. We use it in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they are attached to, so they can be rinsed away. Ethoxylated alcohol can also be used as an emulisifier. It helps bind ingredients together and keep a formula from separating. Over time, it is possible for formulas in a product to separate. We add emulsifiers to our products where needed to ensure that our products provide the same performance use after use.

Use: Surfactant

CAS Number: 151-21-3

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or Sodium Coco Sulfate is a cleaning agent, or “surfactant,” that can also be found in personal care products such as toothpaste and shaving cream. We use it in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they’re attached to, so they can be rinsed away.

Use: Surfactant

CAS Number: 9043-30-5

Isotridecanol, Ethoxylated is a cleaning agent or “surfactant” that can also be found in cosmetics, metal processing and lubricants. We use it in our products to remove dirt and deposits by surrounding dirt particles to loosen them from the surface they’re attached to, so they can be rinsed away.

Use: Solvent

CAS Number: 56-81-5

Glycerin is a moisturizer that can also be found in personal care products such as skin lotion. It works by drawing water in and forming a barrier on a surface to help retain moisture. We use glycerin in products to prevent the product from drying out and breaking apart.

Use: Processing Aid and Additive

CAS Number: 5949-29-1

Citric Acid (Citric Acid Monohydrate) is a natural compound found in citrus fruits. We commonly find it in the form of a white powder with a slight fruity smell. It is an ecological substance with low environmental impact. Citric acid is an excellent alternative to today’s aggressive softeners, known to cause skin allergies and serious damage to the ecosystem. Citric acid softens clothes because neutralizes the alkalinity of the wash caused by the detergent!

Use: Water Softener, Cleaning Agent

CAS Number: 68-04-2

Sodium Citrate is a plant-derived, biodegradable sodium salt of citric acid that acts as a water softener, cleaning agent, descaling agent, pH regulator, and preservative. It typically comes from citrus fruits, molasses, or corn and is manufactured as a powder.

Sodium citrate is used in various products, including:

• In food and drinks as an emulsifier and acidity regulator.
• In skin care, oral care, cosmetic, baby care, hair care, and medical products, as an acidity regulator, emulsifier, and preservative.
• It is also used in medications to treat certain conditions, such as kidney stones.
• In cleaning products, asa descaling agent, chelator and mild alkali, which prevent ions from clinging to surfaces and breaks down dirt, grime, and grease.
