Safe Cleaning Ingredients: Hypromellose in Natural Laundry Detergent

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.
