Skincare starts in the wash
Most people treat skin irritation with what they put on their skin. The problem often starts with what is on your clothes all day and the bedding you sleep on for hours a night.
Conventional laundry powder leaves a film of synthetic surfactants, SLS, optical brighteners and fragrance chemicals on every fibre, sitting against your skin all day and night. Zero BS Laundry Powder changes that.
3 ingredients total · 100 washes per 500g · R3 per wash
Why it exists
The problem with what's already on your clothes
If your skin is reactive, sensitive or compromised, that residue is a constant low-level insult. It doesn't matter how good your skincare routine is if the fabric touching your skin all day is loaded with chemicals your skin doesn't recognise.
We built a laundry powder from the same philosophy as everything else we make: fewer ingredients, nothing synthetic, nothing left on your skin that shouldn't be there and an active ingredient that is our main ingredient.
Three ingredients. The same tallow-based soap that underpins the entire Zero BS range, combined with two naturally occurring mineral alkalines. That's it, nothing else needed.
How to use it
Less than you think. More than enough.
This is a concentrated formula. The dosing is significantly lower than conventional powder which is part of the point. Less going into the wash means less residue on your fabric.
| Load type | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Light — lightly soiled / delicates | 5g (approx. 1 tsp) | Soft-water areas (Cape Town, most of the Western Cape) |
| Standard — normal household wash | 7g (approx. 1½ tsp) | General use, all water types |
| Heavy / hard water — heavily soiled / inland | 10g (approx. 2 tsp) | Johannesburg, KwaZulu-Natal and other hard-water regions |
Machines — Suitable for front-loaders and top-loaders. Add powder straight to the drum or the detergent drawer. Works in cold and warm water; warm water helps it dissolve.
Handwashing — Dissolve 3–5g in warm water before adding your garments. Rinse thoroughly.
R3 a wash. Nothing left behind.
