Our Ultra-Concentrated Non-Toxic Laundry Detergent is designed for families who care deeply about what touches their skin. This plant-based, hypoallergenic laundry detergent delivers powerful stain removal without petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances, or harsh irritants.
Safe for sensitive skin and thoughtfully crafted for homes with children, our biodegradable formula provides exceptional cleaning performance while supporting a healthier indoor environment.
How It Works (The Science, Simplified)
Great laundry chemistry isn't about using more detergent, it's about using smarter ingredients.
Our formula works in three coordinated steps:
- Enzymes break down stains at the molecular level. Protease targets protein stains (blood, sweat, food, grass) while amylase targets starch and food residues.
- Plant-based surfactants lift soils away from fabric and suspends them in the wash water.
- The formula rinses completely clean. No petrochemical residues are left behind.
Designed for Sensitive Families
- Families with babies, children, and pets
- Households managing eczema, asthma, and health sensitivities
- Individuals seeking a truly non-toxic, petrochemical-free laundry routine
- Eco-conscious homes reducing their environmental impact
Why Ultra-Concentrated Saves You Money
Most big-brand conventional liquid detergents require 1.5-3 oz per load depending on soil level. Our formula is ultra-concentrated, requiring only 0.5 oz per load.
That means:
- You enjoy up to 100 loads in our laundry bottles and 32 loads in our starter bottles when using 0.5 oz per standard load of laundry
- Life is messy and your laundry loads will vary, but you should never get less than 75 loads per 50oz laundry bottle
- $0.35 per load at 0.5 oz dosing & $0.46 per load at 0.75 oz dosing (pricing based on our 50oz laundry bottles)
For comparison, conventional brands are priced around $13-16 for 48 loads ($0.27-$0.33 per load). However, the dosing guidelines recommend using larger doses for a normal load than the amount used to generate the "48 loads" advertising claim. To the customer, this means your real-world cost per wash increases to closer to $0.30-$0.40 per load.
Our difference? For a similar price, you get:
- Plant-based ingredients that are safe for sensitive skin
- No petrochemicals
- No synthetic irritants (fragrances, preservatives or otherwise)
- Biodegradable formula
- Refillable, reduced-plastic packaging

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this laundry detergent safe for sensitive skin?
Yes! Our formula is made with plant-based ingredients and natural enzymes, not petrochemicals and synthetic irritants like fragrances.
Check out our blog: Feel - How Cleaning Products Touch Our Skin to learn more about how our skin is exposed to harsh chemicals in conventional detergents, what ingredients to look avoid, and how Be Better Goods protects your skin.
Does it remove tough stains?
Yes! Our natural enzymes (Protease & Amylase) target common stains from food, sweat, and everyday soils while remaining gentle on the fabric.
How many loads should we expect from each bottle?
Our 50 oz laundry bottle will clean up to 100 normal sized loads. Our 16 oz starter bottle will clean up to 32 loads when used as directed.
Is it compatible for high-efficiency (HE) machines?
Yes! This concentrated, low-sudsing formula is compatible with HE machines.
Is it septic safe?
Yes! and not only that, it's safe for waste water treatment facilities and the streams that receive effluent from these facilities. Conventional laundry detergents use petrochemicals that are known aquatic toxins, i.e. they are known to harm marine life and waterways, despite the fact that all these products go down our drain. Our commitment to community health includes the environment so all our ingredients are safe from the moment they're made to the moment they return to the earth.
Can I use this in cold water?
Yes! All our ingredients work fabulously at cold/tap water temperature. Save money on your energy costs by opting for the cold wash cycle.
Will it leave a residue on clothes or my machine?
No. When used as directed (0.5 oz for normal loads and up to 1.0 oz for oversized loads), the formula rinses clean from clothes and your washer.
How much do I use for extra large or super heavily soiled loads?
Use up to 1.0 oz per load (1 full cap). You do not need to use more than 1.0 oz per load. For stubborn stains, pre-treat the clothing with a spray of our Multi-Surface Spray Cleaner or a dab of our Dish Soap.
Do you offer any scents with the Laundry Detergent?
No. Our laundry detergent is intentionally unscented. We formulated this product to remove oils and odor from clothes. Essential oils are both of these, so the detergent may have a scent going into the machine, but your clothes will always come out smelling fresh and clean, not scented.
My laundry is clean. It just smells clean!! My clothes are washed on a cool wash so I have less pilling on my sweaters, my clothes wear better and look newer for longer!! Try it you won't be disappointed
This detergent has a clean fresh very very subtle scent and comes in an eco-friendly refillable container! My laundry looks bright and it is great for delicate items and sensitive skin! This company is so easy to work with as well!
I’ve replaced my old laundry detergent with the BeBetterGoods detergent and not only noticed that our clothes are cleaner but I’ve also had to use way LESS soap!- Perfect for us moms that are doing ungodly amounts of laundry each day!
This product does a great job on my laundry. I like that you only have to use a small amount. My old detergent was not rinsing out very good leaving streaks on dark clothing. Not a problem with this detergent. I will definitely continue to use it.
I love the laundry detergent! Works and smells great!
