“I love this laundry powder. I’ve come off using Biozet and it’s equally as good if not better. I love it because it’s environmentally friendly and a box lasts a long time.”
— Michelle P.
Phosphate-free since 1960
Shaklee launched its first biodegradable cleaning product in 1960, 9 years before Earth Day. This isn’t greenwashing — it’s heritage.
Works in cold water from 20C
The enzyme formula tackles grass, mud and food stains effectively at low temperatures — saving power on every wash.
HE compatible & septic-safe
Fully compatible with all front-loader and top-loader HE machines. Phosphate-free — safe for septic tanks and NZ waterways.
Why most NZ laundry powders are harder on your family than they need to be
Most supermarket laundry powders contain petroleum-derived surfactants, synthetic optical brighteners that stay on fabric against your skin, phosphates that damage NZ waterways, and synthetic fragrances linked to skin sensitisation. For families with young children, eczema-prone skin, or environmental concerns, these ingredients matter every single wash.
New Zealand’s rivers, streams and harbours are particularly sensitive to phosphate runoff from household cleaning products. Phosphates feed algal growth that depletes oxygen and harms aquatic life. Shaklee Laundry Powder has been phosphate-free by design since 1960 — long before it became a marketing trend.
Every active ingredient in Shaklee Laundry Powder NZ
Plant-derived, biodegradable formula — no phosphates, no chlorine bleach, no optical brighteners.
Ingredient
Role
What it brings
Plant-derived surfactants
Primary cleaner
Derived from coconut and corn — lifts oils, grease and soils from fabric fibres without stripping natural fibres or leaving petroleum residue
Sodium carbonate (soda ash)
Water softener
Softens hard water minerals so surfactants work harder — especially effective in NZ hard-water regions like Auckland and Canterbury
Sodium bicarbonate
pH buffer & deodouriser
Natural odour neutraliser that balances wash pH for gentler, more effective cleaning
Enzymes (protease, amylase)
Stain breakdown
Break protein and starch stains — grass, mud, food — at lower temperatures, reducing energy use per wash
Sodium percarbonate
Oxygen brightener
Releases hydrogen peroxide in water — brightens whites and removes organic stains without chlorine bleach
Natural fragrance
Scent
Plant-derived — clean, subtle scent with no synthetic perfume chemicals
How Shaklee Laundry Powder cleans: the 4-step mechanism
1
Plant surfactants penetrate fabric
Coconut-derived surfactants loosen oil and soil particles from fabric fibres at the molecular level — effective even in cold 20C washes.
2
Enzymes break down stains
Protease targets protein stains (grass, blood, food). Amylase breaks starch-based soils. Together they tackle tough Kiwi outdoor and kitchen stains without hot water.
3
Oxygen bleach brightens
Sodium percarbonate releases hydrogen peroxide that oxidises organic stains and brightens whites — without chlorine bleach harshness.
4
Water softeners prevent redeposition
Sodium carbonate binds hard water minerals so soil doesn’t redeposit on fabrics, leaving clothes genuinely clean and soft.

Pro tips for Shaklee Laundry Powder
Use cold water
The enzyme formula works from 20C — cuts your power bill and protects colours every wash.
Pre-soak stubborn stains
Dissolve one scoop in warm water and soak for 30 mins before washing for tough outdoor stains.
Measure accurately
Concentrated formula means more is not better — one scoop is enough for most standard loads.
Complete the system
Pair with Shaklee Fabric Softener (34185) — pH-matched for a complete plant-based laundry system.
The science of plant-based cleaning
Plant-derived surfactants biodegrade 95%+ within 28 days vs 60-70% for petroleum-derived alternatives (peer-reviewed environmental chemistry studies).
Enzyme-based cleaning at 20-30C is equally effective on protein and starch stains as hot-water conventional formulas — US Department of Energy research.
Phosphate-free formulas prevent freshwater eutrophication — mandated in the EU and many US states. Shaklee adopted this standard decades before regulation.
Optical brighteners remain on fabric permanently and are flagged by dermatologists as a common contact sensitiser for eczema sufferers.
Shaklee has been Climate Neutral certified — one of the first wellness companies to achieve this standard.
