Do Natural Laundry Detergents Work? The Science of Koala Eco

Koala Eco is an independent, family-owned business dedicated to creating plant-derived products for a clean home, body, and mind. We are frequently asked: How can a natural laundry wash be as powerful as one containing bleach, preservatives, and chemical enzymes?

The answer lies in our use of nature’s cleaning superpowers: pure essential oils and plant-derived surfactants that deliver a deep, effective clean without the harsh chemical "hangover."

The Science of Botanical Cleaning

We don’t just rely on pleasant scents; we rely on robust scientific research. Every Koala Eco formula is developed alongside our trusted in-house chemist, who brings over 45 years of experience to the laboratory.

Proven Performance

Independently Lab-Tested: Our products are rigorously tested to ensure they effectively remove germs and bacteria.
Perfect Balance: We ensure every bottle achieves the ideal ratio of cleaning power to safety, allowing the natural fragrance of the oils to be released without harmful synthetic fixatives.

We’ve formulated three distinct natural laundry soaps that provide a deep-cleansing wash while leaving your clothes smelling fantastic.
