Detergent with Soapwort Extract
We spent a long time looking for a really gentle, biological detergent that met our requirements for sustainability and environmental compatibility.
Our new Wool & Cashmere Organic Detergent is particularly gentle and can be used with all fibres. It consists of easily biodegradable ingredients and soapwort extract - a plant that has been used for washing laundry since the Middle Ages.
Our Wool & Cashmere Organic Detergent with soapwort extract is a universal detergent for hand and machine washing. The soapwort extract ensures a mild wash. It can be used with delicate fibres such as alpaca, cashmere and silk. Regardless of the water hardness, it can be used with temperatures between 86° F (30°C) and 203° F (95°C). The lactic acid in the detergent ensures natural softening of the water and reduces limescale deposits in the washing machine thus minimizing the use of decalcifying agents and fabric softeners.
All ingredients are biodegradable and made from renewable raw materials.
The detergent is certified by ECO-Control according to the latest Nature Care Products Standard NCP. This standard is an environmental label for everyday care products including washing and cleaning agents made from natural ingredients that do not pollute the environment.

Soapwort - a Well-Known All-Rounder
Our Wool & Cashmere Organic Detergent is based on the soapwort plant. This plant contains saponins, that is, “soapy” substances that are naturally cleansing. Soapwort was already used in the Middle Ages for washing laundry, but also for body care and medicinal purposes.
Today, this versatile plant is experiencing a real revival in the field of detergents and cleaning agents. No wonder: Consumers have become more environmentally friendly looking for sustainable products that reduce pollution.
This detergent contains only natural, renewable raw materials. In addition to soapwort, it also includes coconut oil and rapeseed. The lactic acid in the detergent ensures natural softening of the water and reduces limescale deposits in the washing machine thus minimizing the use of decalcifying agents and fabric softeners - a win-win situation for the environment!
All ingredients are easily biodegradable. The desire for fresh, clean laundry is no longer in conflict with the desire not to pollute the environment unnecessarily.
Eco-Control Certified
Because we especially care about the environment, we decided to have our detergent certified by Eco-Control according to the latest Nature Care Product standard NCP. This standard is an environmental label for everyday care products including washing and cleaning agents made from natural ingredients that do not pollute the environment.
ECO - Control is an independent body acting worldwide with quality assurance systems inspecting and certificating non-food natural and organic products.
Allergy Friendly
Even with the most careful rinsing, detergent residues often remain in the garment fibres. These residues can cause irritation in people who have allergies or sensitive skin. In the manufacturing of our detergent, no colour or fragrance has been added.
The good news: Our Wool & Cashmere Organic Detergent is particularly well tolerated and is also ideal for allergy sufferers.
