Is Guests on Earth Laundry Detergent truly non-toxic?

Yes. Our formula is free from a long list of harmful ingredients commonly found in conventional and even natural laundry detergents — including Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonates (LABS), 1,4-Dioxane, amines, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, DBDS, TEA, MEA, chelators, free fatty acids, and added preservatives. It's scented exclusively with a natural fragrance blend (or available completely unscented), making it one of the most comprehensively clean laundry detergents on the market — without compromising on cleaning power.

Is this laundry detergent safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Our detergent contains no added preservatives, no sulfates, and none of the common chemical irritants — like amines, LABS, or 1,4-Dioxane — found in many conventional and free and clear detergents. It's worth noting that many detergents marketed as free and clear are simply free of fragrance, not free of toxins. Our Unscented version goes further, removing the fragrance entirely while keeping the full cleaning performance, making it an excellent choice for sensitive skin, eczema, allergies, and baby clothes.

Q: What makes this laundry detergent different from other natural or plant-based detergents?

Most natural laundry detergents rely on glucosides — a plant-derived surfactant that's an improvement over petrochemicals, but still energy-intensive to produce. Ours goes further: we are first-to-market with a laundry detergent at this concentration of glycolipids, a next-generation class of biosurfactants that deliver deep, fabric-safe cleaning with a lower carbon footprint than glucosides. Combined with a corrected enzyme blend that breaks down stains at a molecular level without degrading natural fibers over time, it's a genuinely new approach to how laundry detergent works — not just a cleaner version of the conventional formula.

Q: What fabrics and machines is this detergent compatible with?

Our laundry detergent is formulated to be safe for all fabrics, including delicates, natural fibers, linens, gym gear, and baby clothes. It is cold-water optimized — meaning the enzymes and biosurfactants are fully active at lower temperatures, so you can wash effectively in cold water and save energy in the process. It is also low-foam and fully compatible with HE (high-efficiency) washing machines. One formula handles your entire laundry routine, from workout wear to your most delicate pieces.

Glycolipid and Biobased. For machine, hand wash, delicates and natural fibers.

Daily rituals, real results

Overview

Crafted over two years, our breakthrough formula uses glycolipids, enzymes, and bio-based surfactants to lift stains and odours—then actually disperse them, so they don’t redeposit like they do with conventional detergents.

Why It's a Game-Changer:

Next-Level Stain Lifting
Most laundry products are very 'soapy,' penetrating stains to try to absorb them. Ours does the opposite. Instead of penetrating the stain and the fabric, we use a proprietary technology with a one-two punch:
First, it acts like a magnet to LIFT the stain off,
Then, it keeps the dirt particles suspended in the water, preventing them from redepositing onto fabrics. This method keeps your brights brighter, and your whites whiter over time.
Next-Gen Biosurfactants
We are the first-to-market with such a high concentration of glycolipids, which deliver deep, fabric-safe cleaning with a lower carbon footprint than glucosides, which traditional laundry products use.
Exceptional Cleaning Performance
Enzymes play a powerful role in laundry detergent - they act as biological stain removers, breaking down specific types of stains at a molecular level.
A negative of enzymes is that they can degrade natural fibers over time. We use a corrected blend of enzymes, that provide excellent cleaning without compromising the long-term integrity of textile fibers.
Smart, Sustainable Design:
Comes in a sleek, reusable 750mL aluminum bottle with a precision pump (just 5mL per load = 75+ loads).
Safe for What You Love:
Cold-water optimized.
Safe for all fabrics—from delicates, to natural fibers, linens, gym gear, baby clothes and more.
Low-foam & HE machine compatible.
Available in Green Hinoki (a fresh, grounding scent unlike anything in laundry) and Unscented for sensitive skin.

What we left out:

Many 'free and clear' laundry detergents aren't free and clear of toxins. They're free and clear of fragrance. At Guests on Earth, fragrance is a key part of the product experience. Our new laundry detergent comes in an intoxicating new scent, Green Hinoki, as well as an Unscented version.

More importantly, we leave out a lot of the common toxins of conventional detergents:

No Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonates (LABS)
No 1,4-Dioxane
No Amines
No Added Preservatives
No Free Fatty Acids
No Chelators
No Parabens
No Sulfates
No Phthalates
No DBDS
No TEA, MEA

No Added Preservatives
No Free Fatty Acids
No Chelators
No Parabens

How concentrated is this detergent and how many loads does it do?

Very concentrated. One pump dispenses 5ML of detergent, and a standard load is 10-20ML.

For larger, or heavily soiled loads, use 25-30ML.

The precision pump dispenser makes it easy to use exactly the right amount every time, so there's no waste and no guesswork. A common problem with conventional detergents that leads to overuse and product buildup on fabrics.

How concentrated is this detergent and how many loads does it do?

Very concentrated — just 1 to 2 pumps (5mL per pump) handles a small to medium load, with 3 to 4 pumps for a large or heavily soiled load. The 750mL bottle delivers 75 loads. The precision pump dispenser makes it easy to use exactly the right amount every time, so there's no waste and no guesswork — a common problem with conventional detergents that leads to overuse and product buildup on fabrics.

Does this laundry detergent actually remove tough stains?

Yes — and it works differently from conventional detergents in a way that produces better long-term results. Most laundry products penetrate the stain and try to absorb it into the fabric, which can leave residue and cause colours to dull over time. Our formula uses a magnet-like action to lift the stain off the fabric and then keeps the dirt particles suspended in the water so they rinse away completely instead of redepositing. This is why brights stay brighter and whites stay whiter with repeated washing. For pre-treating, apply a few drops of concentrate directly to the wet stain, let it sit for 20 minutes, then wash as normal.
