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.
Sulfate Free
Sulfates are synthetic chemical ingredients commonly used in beauty products and household cleaners, like shampoos and dish soaps. You can usually identify sulfates in an ingredients list by looking out for the most common types: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLC) and Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES). These chemicals, often derived from petroleum, are used to help form the “lather” we’re used to seeing in our beauty and cleaning products. When used in the shower or sink, these chemicals can flow through the pipes and into our waterways. Synthetic sulfates have been linked to allergic reactions, eye and skin irritation, and hair loss, and some studies suggest they contain carcinogenic ingredients.

Question

How do you open this container? D: Is it meant to be opened like a paint can opens (right at the top of the metal part), or further below where there is the “notch” that goes all the way around? Does it lift up there, or unscrew? Or do I have noodle arms? ;__;

Hi there! This container will open further down near the notch. When you cut the paper tape tabs, this helps to loosen the lip and make it easier to open! We’ve also had luck twisting the lid and holding the bottom steady to make it easier to remove. Additionally, with use, each lid removal will become easier!

I have never seen my clothes so bright! I love their laundry powder too! I did notice mine did not come with a scoop (unless it got lost at the bottom of the container).

Question
Christa –
Can this be used on all colors of clothing or only white clothing like traditional bleach? Can it be used along with your laundry powder, and is it only for stains or will it help remove stubborn odors from exercise clothes too? Thanks!

EarthHero –
Hi Christa, this Oxygen Brightener can be used on all colors of clothing, but we recommend testing colored fabrics for color-fastness before use. Do not use on Wool or Silk! You can use it along with standard washing powder to get rid of stubborn stains. It is not intended to remove odors from clothes. For that, we recommend a scent booster!

I already loved their laundry powder, so I knew I wanted to try this right away. I definitely think this gives an extra boost to the detergent! Adding a scoop of this to each load helps with stains we didn’t pretreat or extra soiled items. We got tomato sauce and red wine on the table cloth and this took care of both, even though we didn’t get it in the wash right away.
