The ecostore Difference

Some of the chemicals commonly used in everyday household products have been linked to a range of health problems including allergies, eczema and even asthma.

In fact, research from Dr Baillie Hamilton, suggests that absorbing chemicals through the skin can, in some cases, be more hazardous for your health than swallowing them.

Laundry powders are a good example of this. They can leave synthetic chemical residues in clothes, underwear and bed linen, which are in contact with the skin - the body’s largest organ - 24 hours a day, potentially causing allergic reactions or skin irritation, particularly on the sensitive skin of children.

Unlike some brands, ecostore's laundry products do not contain toxic petrochemicals, phosphates, nitrates, chlorine, ammonia, enzymes, synthetic perfumes, colouring or dyes, optical whiteners/ brighteners or chemical preservatives.

Our products speak for themselves - we’ve had customers tell us that by simply washing their clothes or bed linen using ecostore laundry products, their child’s eczema or dermatitis has disappeared.

More Information

For allergy sufferers:

One of the guiding principles of ecostore’s product formulations is that its products must be better for people’s health as well as for the earth than conventional products
ecostore avoids nasty chemical ingredients in its products and will always look for safer, natural alternatives
ecostore offers 'fragrance free' options on many of its products

For families:

Babies and growing children are more susceptible to the chemicals used in the home and on their bodies because their immune systems are still developing.

ecostore baby products are pure, simple and full of goodness, safer and healthier for your baby than conventional products and beautiful to use. ecostore searched the world for pure natural ingredients and combined these with innovative science to create products that are the very best for a baby’s health. One of the reasons its products are so gentle on baby's delicate skin is that they contain ingredients that match the oils and amino acids found naturally in the skin.

ecostore keeps its prices down by economically concentrating its formulations
ecostore doesn't use cheap fillers or bulking agents - just pure active ingredients
Natural ingredients are more expensive, so ecostore saves you money by concentrating its formulations - its 1kg laundry powder averages 25 washes meaning cost per use is actually less than many other supermarket brands

For the environmentally conscious:

ecostore products contain biodegradable ingredients that break down efficiently and harmlessly
ecostore products release no toxic chemicals into water ways and are safer for septic tanks and grey water systems
In order to further reduce packaging, ecostore offers refill options or bulk sizes in many product lines
ecostore uses recyclable plastic packaging. Cardboard packaging uses 100% virgin pulp fibre sourced from sustainable, managed plantation forests grown in New Zealand and is Elemental Chlorine Free
ecostore uses a plastic bag in its laundry powder packs to stop the powder from absorbing water and going clumpy. While this is far from ideal, it’s better than the alternatives, which include anti-caking agents or un-recyclable plastic coating on the inside of the cardboard boxes
ecostore's manufacturing facility has been independently certified sustainable by two independent organisations: Environmental Choice and Enviromark
