This unfragranced non-bio laundry powder is a simple but powerful choice for everyday washing. Made without enzymes, optical brighteners, or perfumes, it offers an effective clean while keeping things gentle on skin and fabrics. Its oxygen-based cleaning system helps lift stains and brighten whites without the need for harsh chemicals or synthetic additives.
This product has been recognised as an Ethical Consumer Best Buy for its strong environmental credentials, highlighted for its refill-friendly supply chain, a minimal ingredient list, and a clear commitment to reducing packaging waste. Every refill helps cut single-use plastic, supporting a more sustainable and low-waste approach to household cleaning.
Ideal for both machine and hand washing, this powder performs well at low temperatures and in all water types. It is especially suitable for those with sensitive skin or anyone who prefers a fragrance-free laundry routine.
All SESI products are vegan, cruelty-free, and biodegradable, and their formulas are designed to truly clean while causing minimal environmental harm. The detergents are manufactured in the UK by an independent family firm.
Usage Directions
Pour the powder directly into the machine dispenser or a washball. Always follow the care instructions on the garment label.
Use the dosage guidelines as follows:
Low to normal soiling: 3.5 g to 6 g (approximately 3 ml to 5 ml) per kg of washing. In areas with very hard water, or for heavily soiled laundry, the dose may be doubled.
One heaped tablespoon is about 36 g. If carrying out a pre-wash, use one third of the total amount for the pre-wash and two thirds for the main wash.
Dietary and Lifestyle
Vegan, Cruelty-free.
Origin
Ingredients from multiple countries, and wherever possible, fragrances sourced locally (UK or Europe) to reduce carbon footprint. Manufactured at SESI's factory in Oxford, UK.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place between 5 and 40°C, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and always ensure containers are tightly closed after use to prevent moisture from affecting the powder. Shelf life is 24 months from the production date if stored as recommended.
Safety Information

In stock
SESI Refills is a UK-based social enterprise founded in Oxfordshire, which supplies sustainable detergents, toiletries and household cleaning products. Originally known as the School Ethical Supplies Initiative, SESI was started in 2006 in a shed at a local primary school.
Their products do not contain harsh or harmful ingredients, including chlorine bleaches, formaldehyde, phosphates, parabens, phthalates, optical brighteners, and other damaging chemicals. Their products are also safe for septic tanks and normal wastewater systems. They are an Ethical Consumer Best Buy with an ethiscore of 95 out of 100.
♻️ Closed Loop supply chain ♻️
SESI employs a closed-loop refill system, meaning that barrels and tubs used for distribution are returned, cleaned, and refilled. This process ensures that there is zero packaging waste from the factory to the consumer. Every time we order SESI products, they are sent to us directly from their factory using their own vehicles, resulting in a greatly reduced carbon footprint. With each delivery, we receive filled bulk bottles (that you fill your own bottles from to take home), which means your refills are truly zero waste!
In addition to cleaning detergents and household products, SESI also supplies food items and olive oil through a refillable supply chain. For example, they partner in a closed-loop supply of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, utilising bulk 20 litre tubs. These broader product offerings increase the impact of refill shopping by enabling more types of goods to be supplied to us through a circular supply chain and helping customers reduce plastic waste across more categories.
Through their refill model, SESI helps customers reduce plastic waste: they have reused or refilled over 5 million pieces of packaging to date.
