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?

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.
I love your laundry detergent and am always impressed at the way you continue to innovate sustainably. As others have said a brief disclaimer on the packaging stating that any blotches that may appear are due to the biodegradation properties of the bag and do not affect the quality of the product should be prominently displayed on the product
I wouldn’t be put off because I understand the concept and have been following you and these types of products for a long time now, but unfortunately I think a lot of people that are new to the “no plastic, environmental friendly products, etc. would be put off. I’m afraid that, in a supermarket setting, they would see the “sweat marks” and may pass by the product before even reading that “it’s a normal occurrence and doesn’t affect quality or performance” marketing language on the packaging.
Hopefully, keeping the messaging in the news will help going forward. Please keep it up, we applaud you!
Wouldn’t bother me at all but definitely think an explanation on the packaging would help others who are bothered. Anything that makes packaging truly compostable or recyclable is a plus for me. Thanks.
I wouldn’t be put off, especially if there is a clearly visible explanation. Maybe a little cartoon would do the trick!
I am not the average shopper. I put things back on the shelf if I notice unsustainable packaging or ingredients and go without.
Agree with most posts- once we understand that the sweating is a result of improved biodegradable packaging and does not affect the work of the soap- Amen to that
