• Biodegradable: This refers to the product's ability to break down naturally by microorganisms, reducing waste in landfills.
• Non-toxic, Chemical-free: These indicate the product is free of harmful chemicals, making it safer for you, your clothes, and the environment.
• Organic: This refers to detergents made with organically grown plant-based ingredients.
• Cruelty-free: This ensures no animals were harmed in the testing or production of the product.
• Renewable: This refers to using resources that can be replenished quickly, like plant-derived cleaning agents.
• Hypoallergenic, Gentle: These terms indicate the product is less likely to irritate sensitive skin.
