Posted By: Truly Free Home|Posted On: 9/30/2025
Why We Chose Hypromellose for Our Non-Toxic Laundry Detergent
Every ingredient that goes into our products is chosen with intention. Hypromellose made the cut because it checks all the right boxes:
- Plant-derived: Hypromellose comes from renewable cellulose sources.
- Safe and trusted: Hypromellose is widely recognized as safe by regulators in food, pharmaceuticals, and home care.
- Skin-friendly: With an Environmental Working Group (EWG) rating of 1 (the gold standard), hypromellose is considered non-irritating and safe.
In fact, hypromellose is so safe, it’s used to make vegetarian capsules for supplements and medications. If you’ve ever taken vitamins or meds in a veggie cap, you’ve come across this ingredient.
The Transparent Takeaway
Hypromellose might not sound glamorous, but it’s a crucial ingredient that keeps our laundry detergent effective and reliable. By helping our formulas stay smooth, stable, and consistent, we ensure you get the same safe, high-quality clean you’ve come to expect from Truly Free Home products.
