I’ve been looking for an environmentally friendlier laundry detergent for some time now.  And this ECOS brand is just the right laundry detergent for my laundry needs.  And the fact that Costco had it for such a great price was another plus.

ecos Magnolia & Lillies is made with 100% natural coconut kernel oil-based surfactant, horsetail plant, lavender, coconut based fabric softener, essential oils of magnolias and lilies, with purified water. Image and info from Ecos.

At first I was thinking how could this natural stuff compete with the commercial brand like Tide. 

Maybe it wouldn’t even clean as well?  But I was surprised to know that it did it’s job very well. ECOS laundry detergent also has a built-in soy based fabric softener and cellulose based optical brightener.

And it’s not just good for laundry, but better for the environment too.  It’s free of SLS (Sodium laurel sulfate) and is vegetable based with other natural ingredients such as essential oils and plant material. 

Since I am not a fan of lavender, I was happy they had other selections too. The one I got was magnolia and lily, it has a nice and light scent that is not overpowering like many commercial brands.
