The latest laundry and dish detergent ingredients and formula innovations
Our team understands that introducing new and enhancing existing products is vital in meeting consumer demands. Staying competitive and capitalizing on emerging trends gives our customers an advantage. That's why finding the right ingredients is essential. Whether you're looking for traditional or sustainable ingredients for your laundry or dishwashing applications, we can help support all your ingredient needs.
As consumer mindsets shift toward prioritizing sustainability, performance is still the leading demand for dishwashing and laundry detergents. We offer an expansive portfolio of automatic dishwasher, manual hand dishwashing, and laundry products designed for improved performance and safe, clean living.
Laundry and dishwashing product ingredients:
Anionic surfactants (and non-ionic surfactants)
These cleaning agents help cut through grime and remove dirt, grease, and other stains from fabrics and dishes.
Enzymes (including proteases and amylases)
Enzymes help break down specific types of soils, such as protein-based stains or starches and help clothes retain a fresher feel for longer. They also help break down tough, baked-on foods on cookware.
Optical Brighteners
These additives help enhance the witness and brightness of fabrics.
Rinse Aids
These ingredients help prevent water spotting and improve streak-free drying time.
Conditioners
These fabric softeners help keep fabrics feeling soft and reduce static cling.
Abrasives (including silica and calcium carbonate)
These mildly abrasive particles help scrub food residues stuck to plates, cookware, and cutlery.
