Ingredients | How/Why We Use It | What It Is |
Sodium Citrate | cleans | Natural mineral; helps detergents fully dissolve for maximum efficacy; preserves product appearance and prevents product deterioration; often adjusts pH levels. |
Sodium Carbonate Peroxide | cleans + removes greasy stuff | Natural mineral; oxidizing agent; breaks down into sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide acts as a bleach, and as an antimicrobial agent. The sodium carbonate boosts the bleaching effect of the hydrogen peroxide. |
Sodium Sulfate | absorbs excess water | A mineral-derived ingredient used as a thickener in cleaners, soaps, and detergents. |
Sodium Carbonate | water softener | Natural mineral; also known as washing soda, soda ash and soda crystals, it’s well known for its everyday use as a water softener and helps detergents fully dissolve for maximum efficacy. |
Sodium Silicate | cleans | Natural mineral; adjusts pH levels to prevent product deterioration and prevents re-positing of removed debris. |
Inear Alcohol Ethoxylate | cleans | Non-ionic surfactant; lowers the surface tension of water so soil can be readily loosened and removed. |
Hydrated Silica | anti-caking | Works as a free-flow agent by coating the surface of the powder, thereby reducing sticky interparticle interactions. Found in nature as opal and in the cell walls of diatoms. |
