Tide Tide Powder Laundry Detergent Original Scent

Synthetic fragrance is an umbrella term that can encompass hundreds of undisclosed chemicals, including phthalates and allergens linked to hormone disruption and skin sensitization.

Petroleum-derived surfactants are effective cleaners but are slower to biodegrade and may leave residue that irritates sensitive skin.

Optical brighteners are synthetic chemicals that coat fabric to make it appear whiter under UV light. They do not rinse out fully, remain on skin-contact fabric, and are not readily biodegradable.

Chlorine bleach can react with organic matter to form toxic chlorinated compounds, is harmful to aquatic ecosystems, and can be a respiratory irritant.
