About the Product

Vitaroma Laundry Detergent Powder is a concentrated, plant-based laundry detergent in a cylindrical cardboard tub. 60 loads per tub. Scented with clove bud and bergamot essential oil — no synthetic fragrance. Every ingredient meets FDA food-safe criteria.

Fresh & Clean — anchored by clove bud essential oil with a warm citrus note from bergamot essential oil. Both are FDA GRAS. No synthetic fragrance, ever.

The scent is real: actual plant extracts, not a lab approximation of clove or citrus. It opens in the wash and stays on your clothes after they dry.

Our formula is free from synthetic fragrance, phosphates, sulfates (SLS/SLES), parabens, phthalates, optical brighteners, and synthetic dyes. Every ingredient meets FDA food-safe criteria — a higher bar than most cleaning certifications require.

We're a cleaning product, not a medical device. We don't make health claims — but we list every ingredient so you can make an informed decision.

Our formula excludes the ingredients most commonly linked to skin irritation: synthetic fragrance, sulfates, optical brighteners, and synthetic dyes. If you have a specific allergy, the full ingredient list is on the product page — read it before you buy.

Ingredients & Safety

Sodium carbonate · Sodium bicarbonate · Sodium percarbonate · Quillaja saponaria bark extract (E999) · Subtilisin (protease enzyme, food-grade) · Lipase enzyme (food-grade) · Sodium citrate (E331) · Clove bud essential oil (FDA GRAS) · Bergamot essential oil (FDA GRAS)

That's the complete list. Nothing hidden behind "fragrance," nothing in a "proprietary blend."

Every ingredient in Vitaroma meets FDA food-safe criteria — meaning each one is approved for contact with food or is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). This is the same standard food packaging and food-processing equipment must meet.

No laundry certification requires this. We apply it voluntarily because it's the highest ingredient-safety bar we know of, and it's independently verifiable.

Yes. Our formula is independently tested — not by us, not by our manufacturer, but by a third party — to verify that our Never List ingredients are genuinely absent and that our ingredient disclosure is accurate. [PLACEHOLDER: certifying body and link to certificate.]

"Fragrance" is a legally protected trade secret. A single word on a label can represent hundreds of undisclosed chemicals — including phthalates, allergens, and compounds linked to hormone disruption.

When we want scent, we use the actual plant: clove bud essential oil and bergamot essential oil. FDA GRAS. Every drop accounted for.

Our formula is biodegradable and free from chlorine bleach, phosphates, and quats — ingredients known to disrupt septic systems. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm septic-safe certification with manufacturer before launch.]

Using It

Yes. The formula is low-sudsing and works in all machines — HE, front-load, top-load, and standard. Add powder directly to the drum or to the powder dispenser.

One scoop per standard load. Two scoops for heavily soiled items, oversized loads, or very hard water. Each tub includes 60 single-scoop loads.

Yes. The formula is designed to dissolve and activate in cold water. Cold-water washing is better for your clothes and your energy bill — we optimized for it.

Yes. Dissolve a small amount — roughly half a scoop — in warm water. Wash gently, rinse thoroughly. Every ingredient is food-safe, so it's appropriate for hand-washing delicates.

Packaging & Sustainability

The tub is FSC-certified rigid paperboard with a plant-based moisture-resistant lining and a metal rim for the lid. The scoop is the only component that isn't paperboard or metal. No single-use plastic packaging, no plastic jug.

Remove and recycle the metal rim separately. The paperboard tub goes in standard curbside recycling — no special drop-off required.

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification means the paperboard comes from responsibly managed forests — traceable to its origin, sourced without contributing to deforestation.
