Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate: a plant based ingredient that comes from the sodium salt of citric acid (citric acid is made from citrus fruits). Its main function is to 'soften' water in order to allow the enzymes or detergents to be absorbed for cleaning and rinsing.This ingredient is readily biodegradable.
Sodium Bicarbonate: is commonly known as baking soda and is actually a type of salt that can be found in natural springs (and can also be used to bake cakes!). It has a gentle but very effective cleansing property that assists in washing and rinsing. It also helps the tablets to dissolve, what a multi-tasker!
Sodium Carbonate: commonly known as washing soda is made from salt and limestone. It is a very common eco household cleaning agent and improves the efficiency of the product by acting on greases and encrusted stains.
Sodium Silicate: is a detergent and degreaser which makes the washing process super efficient. It also keeps your machine healthy by protecting the metallic parts inside. Sodium Silicate is made from the same components as sand (sodium carbonate and silicon dioxide).
Glycerine: is sourced from the Colza Plant (Rapeseed) oil and improves the tablets ability to dissolve various soils (aka spaghetti), it also helps prevent the tablet from crumbling. It is readily biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
Sodium Carbonate Peroxide: a salt that works as an oxidising agent and detergent booster. It acts on oxidisable stains such as tea, wine and coffee. It is non toxic, environmentally safe and biodegradable.
Alcohols, C16-18, Ethoxylated: is partially extracted from plants with the main function of washing and rinsing efficiency.
Polycarboxylates: do their best work at the rinsing phase by preventing lime deposits on glassware. This ingredient has a low ecotoxicity.
Tetraacetylethylenediamine: is an organic compound used to activate the sodium carbonate peroxide in the dish tabs formula, without it the cleaning agents wouldn't be effective in temps lower than 60 °C.
Subtilisin: is an enzyme that loves breaking down proteins like sunny side up egg yolks on your plates.
Plant Extract: is derived from beets and helps bind the tablet together into our cute little compacted shape. Did you know our tablets are only 12g each which helps to greatly reduce our carbon footprint in shipping.
Amylase, alpha: is an enzyme that loves breaking down starch based stains like wheat, porridge, potato bake and tom sauce.
Bentonite: is a clay that is used as a binder to hold all the ingredients together.
