Blueland Brand Plant-Based Dishwasher Tabs (I use these)
ποΈ Blueland Dishwasher Tablets β naked, PVA-free tablets with a fully disclosed ten-ingredient formula. (The ones I use at home!)
πΏ Plant-based & naturally derived
- Sodium carbonate (washing soda) β a simple mineral that softens water and cuts grease.
- Citric acid β made by fermenting plant sugars; fights spots and film.
- Sodium citrate β the salt of citric acid; softens hard water.
- Lauryl/myristyl glucoside β a gentle cleaner made from coconut oil and plant sugar.
- Sodium carboxymethyl inulin β a spot-preventing helper derived from chicory root.
- Subtilisin (protease) & amylase β enzymes brewed by fermentation; the 2x enzyme power that tackles 48-hour baked-on food.
- Hydrated silica β a mineral that keeps the tablet dry and free-flowing.
β οΈ Lab-made
- Microcrystalline cellulose β plant fiber (wood pulp) that’s been heavily refined in the lab; it binds the tablet together so no plastic film is needed.
- Sorbitan caprylate β a stabilizer assembled in the lab from plant-derived sorbitol and caprylic acid; keeps the formula fresh without traditional preservatives.
β Eight of the ten ingredients are minerals, plant-derived cleaners, or fermentation enzymes; the two lab-made helpers bind and stabilize the tablet. No PVA film, no dyes, no synthetic fragrance β 100% microplastic-free.
β»οΈ Packaging: Compostable paper refills and a refillable steel tin. USDA Certified Biobased.
πΌ Hippiekit Take: Blueland discloses every ingredient and skips the plastic film entirely β we applaud both, and it’s why these earn a spot in my own dishwasher.
