So like I said, we're really excited about this 100% plastic free laundry detergent packaging. And if it works for our LD, we'll probably transition it to all our powders.
But it sweats like a marathon runner in 30 degree sun, meaning the bag will have some minor grease marks.
So my question to you, is if you were walking through the grocery store aisle and saw this, would it put you off / think there's something wrong with it?
FYI, tin and aluminum is a no go for us.
Let me know in the comments below and while you're here don't forget to pick up your FREE - full sized - deep conditioner with any purchase.
Would You Care if Your Laundry Detergent Sweat Through the Bag?

I wouldn’t mind the sweating because I have been informed of the reason why. Besides, I like to transfer my detergent to a glass jar so that my family can scoop it out more easily. Then I can also keep track of when the detergent is running low.
If I saw it in the store, and didn’t know why it looked that way, I might be turned off. The packaging could say why it is sweating, but the consumer would have to be willing to read it. I suppose if someone was looking for a natural product in the “green” or “eco-friendly” section, they would be more willing to read the packaging. I know I do.
I would think if you wrote on the package that the sweating is normal and does not impact the product, then I would not care.
It might. Can you add the explanation on the front of the bag? “I sweat just like you, don’t worry, it’s natural!”
If it was on a shelf in a store, then, then, yes, it might be a turn-off. But online, with a short explanation, it shouldn’t be a problem. Would double-bagging, like potatoes, solve the problem?
Agree with the above statements. Once a consumer understands what the sweating is, it shouldn’t be a deal-breaker for purchase.
If you had it clearly marked no plastic explaining the marks that might help. Could you use a light coat beeswax to seal the inside of the bag?
Hi there … I totally understand your concern. Original online customers won’t have a concern, now that we understand why … this may sound simplistic, but perhaps including some rice in the packaging to absorb the moisture. Often used in salt shakers on outdoor patios to stop the salt from forming a solid rock. Try a test. A little sewn packet of cheesecloth? Good luck! I think it’s important for you to solve this issue before it hits the grocery shelves. Love what you do! I am slowly buying from you as I empty current stores.
Thanks, Ann
As an existing user, no
But if you are trying to recruit me as a new user, maybe. Improve the packaging to own it.
A cheetah? So the spots make sense?
It wouldn’t look great on a shelf…BUT, if you added verbiage right on the front, big and bold: “I’m sweating because I lack plastic in my packaging!” or something like that, short and concise, with maybe a little more info on the back, smaller print, would probably help. A lot of people concerned with esthetics would probably take that package home and put the contents in a reusable container.
I wouldn’t care as long as I know why, especially if I buy a refill for a product I’ve used before. I transfer any powders into glass containers anyway because I find myself wrestling with whatever the original packaging is.
