Ever flipped over a box of laundry sheets and found a list you couldn't pronounce? Same. So we put two lists side by side.

Quick answer: Earth Breeze's help center lists 15 ingredients for its Fragrance Free Eco Sheets and 16 for its US Fresh Scent sheets, film included. Just 7 has seven, film included.

The short answer

Both counts include the sheet's film. Theirs is polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Ours is a pullulan film made from fermented starch.

The top of Earth Breeze's page shows a shorter summary of 8 or 9 items. The 15 come from the detailed table for each product further down. We used the detailed tables because they're the most complete.

Our seven, one line each

• Pullulan film made from fermented starch: holds the sheet together and is designed to dissolve in the wash.^†
• Water: carries everything while the sheet is made.
• Plant glycerin: keeps the sheet flexible so it doesn't crack.
• Decyl glucoside: our main cleaner, a sugar-based glucoside.
• Lauryl glucoside: its close cousin, with a bit more cleaning power.
• Sodium citrate: softens hard water so the cleaners can work.
• Sodium carbonate: washing soda. It boosts cleaning and lifts greasy grime.

That's the whole list. Seven names, no small print.

Where Earth Breeze's list is longer, and why

More ingredients isn't automatically worse. Enzymes break down protein and starch stains. A mix of cleaners covers more kinds of dirt. Clay and extra softeners can help in tough water.

Earth Breeze also says its formula is vegan, cruelty-free and dermatologist tested. So the real differences come down to three choices:

• The film: they use PVA, we use a pullulan film made from fermented starch (read it).
• The cleaners: their main cleaner is sodium lauryl sulfate, a common, effective sulfate. We use only sugar-based glucosides.
• The extras: Just 7 leaves out clay, enzymes and extra softeners to keep the label short.

Want enzyme power for heavy stains? That's exactly why Just 9 exists.

Why we stopped at seven

We started with what a sheet has to do: clean, soften water and hold together. Then every ingredient had to earn its spot.

• Every ingredient has a job. If we can't explain it in one sentence, it's out.
• A short label is easy to check. Seven names take seconds.
• No fragrance, no essential oils. Many, like lavender, are a concern for cats.
• Nothing from animals.^†

Seven isn't a gimmick. It's just where the list ran out of jobs.

Compare any label in five checks

1. Find the full list, not just the summary.
2. Count the film. It ends up in your wash water too.
3. Look up the film. PVA, PVOH and polyvinyl alcohol are the same thing.
4. Check for fragrance. One word can cover many compounds.
5. Look for third-party marks, not just a brand's own claim.
