It contains no bacterial enzymes ( such as bacillus subtilis or xylanase, both of which have been identified as occupational triggers to asthma) or sensitizing fragrances or dyes. This formulation is phosphate free and completely biodegradable. It is formulated with sodium citrate which, to prevent graying and dinginess that resulrs from hard water minerals binding to clothing. Active oxygen has been incorporated to quickly lift stains and stubborn soils. All surfactants are derived from safe, naturally renewable plant sources.NOLONGER AVAILABLE
