Paraben Free
Parabens are synthetic chemical preservatives, commonly used in beauty products like shampoo, lotion, and deodorants. Parabens can accumulate in your body, and have been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive problems. In studies of breast cancer patients, parabens have been found in the tissue of cancerous tumors–yikes! If you want to avoid Parabens in your beauty products, keep an eye out for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben in the ingredients list.
Phthalate Free
Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.

I made a DIY laundry soap and it left my clothes pretty dingy. Never doing that again. Using these now after reading reviews and watching a few reviews on YouTube. I appreciate that the scent isn’t very strong. I’ve become sensitive to scents as I’ve gotten older. So it’s nice to still smell good but not overwhelming.
Review update – 6/13/21
I wanted to update my review as I’m now starting to notice that the detergent is leaving white residue on my dark clothes. My building has top loading machines and I follow the directions of putting the pod(s) in first. I have tried to do things differently like 1 pod vs. 2 and warm water vs cold and I’m getting the same results. Everything is still dingy looking from when I used my DIY laundry soap and it doesn’t seem like my clothes are getting fully cleaned. I’m kinda disappointed in how this turned out. I’m going to finish what I have and look for another alternative which is a shame. I really liked that this product really minimized my waste output.

These work great when I’m doing a warm or hot load of laundry (more often in the pandemic now), but I find there’s some residue stuck to some of my delicate garments or the pod doesn’t totally break down in cold water loads. I love this as a zero-waste option made in the USA (and my home state, at that!) but will likely have to continue my search for my cold/delicate loads because otherwise I end up having to wash some dresses twice.

Works great for my day to day clothes, but it doesn’t seem like Dropps are cut out for heavy duty jobs. I do occasional field work that leaves my work clothes muddy, sweaty, and smelly. It took two washes & twice the amount of recommended pods to get the stains and odor out. One Gain pod would’ve done the job in one wash, but I guess that’s only downside from making the switch to a more a sustainable option.
