ECO-CLEANING ESSENTIALS
Plant-Based Cleaning
🏢 Meliora Lemon Dish Soap Bar – a concentrated, plastic-free bar that replaces bottled liquid detergent, with every ingredient named.
🌿 Plant-based & naturally derived
- Vegetable soap – traditional soap made from:
- Sodium cocoate – coconut oil turned into soap.
- Sodium sunflowerate – sunflower oil turned into soap.
- Glycerin – a natural by-product of soap-making that’s gentle on hands.
- Water – used to make the soap.
- Organic coconut oil and organic sunflower seed oil – the plant bases of the bar.
- Organic lemon peel oil – real citrus oil for a fresh scent, not a synthetic fragrance.
✅ Every single ingredient is water or plant-derived – zero lab-made synthetics, no preservatives, no dyes, no palm oil.
♻️ Packaging: 100% plastic-free bar with paperboard packaging. MADE SAFE certified and vegan.
🌼 Hippiekit Take: Meliora publishes its complete formula – transparency this good deserves a spot at every kitchen sink.

✨ Green Llama Dishwasher Tablets – EWG Verified, fragrance-free, PVA-free tablets from a women-owned business, with a fully disclosed ten-ingredient formula.
🌿 Plant-based & naturally derived
- Sodium carbonate (washing soda) – a simple mineral that softens water and cuts grease.
- Sodium citrate – the salt of plant-fermented citric acid; softens hard water.
- Citric acid – made by fermenting plant sugars; fights spots and film.
- Amylase & protease – enzymes brewed by fermentation that break down food starches and proteins.
⚠️ Lab-made
- Sodium percarbonate – washing soda combined with hydrogen peroxide in the lab; releases stain-lifting oxygen, then breaks down into water, oxygen, and washing soda.
- Sodium metasilicate – a mineral-derived compound made from sand and soda ash; boosts cleaning and protects your machine.
- TAED – a synthetic activator that lets the oxygen bleach work in cooler water, saving energy.
- Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate – a surfactant that starts from coconut/palm oils and is finished in the lab; one of the gentler lab-made cleaners.
- Polyitaconic acid – a biodegradable polymer that prevents spots and film on glassware.
✅ Five of the ten ingredients are minerals, plant-derived, or fermentation enzymes; five are lab-made helpers – and every one is disclosed, which is how the formula earned EWG verification. No PVA, no dyes, no fragrance.
♻️ Packaging: Fully compostable materials, zero plastic. Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free.
🌼 Hippiekit Take: Green Llama names every ingredient and skips the PVA film – exactly the transparency we applaud.

✨ FabTab Dishwasher Detergent Tablets – fragrance-free tablets with a fully published 13-ingredient formula, each with its function explained.
🌿 Plant-based & naturally derived
- Citric acid – made by fermenting plant sugars; dissolves mineral deposits and stains.
- Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) – a natural mineral that gently scrubs and deodorizes.
- Sodium carbonate (washing soda) – a natural mineral that softens water.
- Hydrated silica – a mineral that keeps the tablets from clumping.
- Sodium coco-sulfate – a cleaning agent made from coconut oil; a milder alternative to conventional sulfates.
- Disodium cocoyl glutamate – a gentle surfactant from coconut oil and a plant amino acid.
- Protease, alpha-amylase & lipase – three enzymes brewed by fermentation that break down protein, starch, and grease on your dishes.
⚠️ Lab-made
- Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate – a synthetic surfactant that provides much of the grease-cutting power. Effective, but petroleum-derived – the main trade-off in this formula.
- Sodium hexametaphosphate – a lab-made water softener that prevents spots in hard water.
- Sodium benzoate & potassium sorbate – gentle preservatives used in tiny amounts to keep the tablets shelf-stable; the same ones commonly used in food.
✅ Nine of the thirteen ingredients are plant- or mineral-derived (including three fermentation enzymes); four are lab-made, used in small amounts. Note: each tablet comes in a water-soluble film wrapper that dissolves in the wash – the brand markets the product as 100% plastic-free, though the film material isn’t named in its ingredient table.
♻️ Packaging: Plastic-free resealable pouch; free of chlorine, phosphates, and artificial fragrances.
🌼 Hippiekit Take: FabTab publishes its complete ingredient list with each ingredient’s job – exactly the transparency we ask of every brand.

- Sodium carbonate (washing soda) – a simple mineral that softens water and cuts grease.
- Citric acid – made by fermenting plant sugars; fights spots and mineral film.
- Sodium sulfate – a naturally occurring mineral salt that keeps the powder free-flowing.
- Protease – an enzyme brewed by fermentation that breaks down food proteins.
⚠️ Lab-made
- Sodium percarbonate – washing soda combined with hydrogen peroxide in the lab; it releases oxygen in the wash to lift stains, then breaks down into water, oxygen, and washing soda.
- Sodium metasilicate & sodium silicate – mineral-derived compounds made from sand and soda ash; they boost cleaning and protect glassware and your machine. Strong in pure form, used here in controlled amounts.
- Cocamidopropyl betaine – a surfactant that starts from coconut oil and is finished in the lab; it loosens grease gently.
✅ Five of the nine ingredients are minerals, plant-derived, or fermentation enzymes; four are lab-made helpers, all openly disclosed. Free of phosphates, chlorine, and synthetic dyes; septic-safe.
♻️ Packaging: Reusable metal tins and kraft refill pouches instead of bulky plastic tubs.
🌼 Hippiekit Take: Nellie’s names every ingredient – that’s the transparency we ask of every brand, and we applaud it.

🧴 Dirty Labs Bio Enzyme Laundry Detergent (Free & Clear) – a hyper-concentrated liquid (80 loads) in an infinitely recyclable aluminum bottle, with every ingredient published down to its CAS number.
🌿 Plant-based & naturally derived
- Water – the liquid base.
- Lauryl glucoside – a gentle cleaner made from coconut oil and plant sugar.
- Caprylyl/capryl glucoside – another sugar-and-coconut surfactant that lifts everyday grime.
- Capryloyl/caproyl methyl glucamide – a biobased surfactant from coconut and corn sugar.
- Coconut fatty acid – from coconut oil; helps control suds and condition fabrics.
- Glycerine – a plant-derived moisture-keeper that stabilizes the formula.
- Sodium citrate – the salt of plant-fermented citric acid; softens hard water.
- Protease, alpha-amylase, cellulase, mannanase & pectate lyase – five enzymes brewed by fermentation, each targeting a different stain type (protein, starch, fuzz, gums, and fruit/plant stains).
⚠️ Lab-made
- Potassium hydroxide & sodium hydroxide – mineral-derived pH balancers used in tiny amounts and essentially consumed as the formula is made.
- Propanediol & propylene glycol – lab-made solvents that keep the enzymes stable and active in liquid form.
✅ Twelve of the sixteen ingredients are water, plant-derived, or fermentation enzymes; four are lab-made helpers used in small amounts. 97% USDA Certified Biobased overall.
♻️ Packaging: Infinitely recyclable aluminum bottle – zero plastic jug. Free of sulfates, dyes, parabens, and chlorine bleach.
🌼 Hippiekit Take: Dirty Labs publishes its complete formula with CAS registry numbers – the gold standard of ingredient disclosure, and we applaud it.
