The 7 ingredients

Pullulan film, lauryl glucoside, decyl glucoside, sodium carbonate (washing soda), plant glycerin, sodium citrate and water. Every one explained.

We kept only what a sheet has to do: clean, soften the water and hold together. If we can't explain an ingredient in one sentence, it's out. The case for a short label.

Not for everyday loads. Longer lists often add enzymes, fillers and fragrance. Enzymes help with heavy protein stains, so pretreat those or wait for Just 9.^†

Not automatically. Every ingredient should earn its place, and a short list makes that easy to check.

Because it goes into your washer with everything else. Counting it keeps comparisons fair.

It's in the recipe while the sheet is made, and most of it dries off. We count everything, so it's listed.

A pullulan film made from fermented starch, two glucoside cleaners, washing soda, Plant glycerin, sodium citrate and water. Nothing from animals.

They're our working formula. We'll confirm the final numbers with our manufacturer's documents before launch and match the pouch exactly.^†

Roughly 2 g in our working formula.^†

Working formula: pullulan film 35%, lauryl glucoside 17%, decyl glucoside 17%, sodium carbonate 10%, plant glycerin 10%, sodium citrate 7%, water 4%.^†

On our ingredients page and the product page.

Usually cleaners (surfactants), water softeners, a film to hold it together, and often fragrance, enzymes or preservatives. What's in laundry sheets.

It lets water grab oil and dirt so they rinse away. Ours are lauryl glucoside and decyl glucoside.

A film made from fermented starch. It's the same family of material used in dissolving breath strips and some capsules. We use it instead of PVA.

It holds everything in a thin, dry sheet, then is designed to dissolve in the wash.^†

A microbe feeds on starch, such as tapioca or corn, and makes pullulan through fermentation.

No. Pullulan comes from fermentation. PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is a synthetic polymer.

Pullulan is a polysaccharide made by fermentation, not a synthetic polymer like PVA. We'll call the sheet plastic-free once the film spec is confirmed in writing.^†

Dissolving breath strips and some capsules use the same family of film.

About 35% of a sheet in our working formula.^†

Just 7 is designed to dissolve in warm or cold water. We're running our own cold-water test and will share it.^†

Pullulan is made from fermented starch such as tapioca or corn. We'll name the confirmed starch source with the final film spec.

A cleaner that goes after body oils and grease, with a little lather. More on lauryl glucoside.

No. It sounds like sodium lauryl sulfate, but it's a sugar-based cleaner, not a sulfate.

It's a sugar-based cleaner. We'll share the supplier source when it's confirmed.^†

They're from the same sugar-based family. Decyl is the gentle everyday cleaner and lauryl adds more grease-lifting muscle.

About 17% of a sheet in our working formula.^†

No. Sodium lauryl sulfate is a sulfate. Lauryl glucoside is a glucoside made from sugar and a fatty alcohol.

Our main everyday cleaner. It grabs oil and dirt and lets the water carry them away. More on decyl glucoside.

It's a sugar-based cleaner. We'll share the supplier source when it's confirmed.^†

No. It's made without ethoxylation. What ethoxylated means.

It's known as one of the milder cleaners, which is why it shows up in many face washes and shampoos.

About 17% of a sheet in our working formula.^†

Washing soda. It raises the pH and softens water so everyday grime lets go more easily. More on washing soda.

No. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Washing soda is sodium carbonate, which is stronger at softening water.

It's a mineral, made from salt and limestone or mined from trona ore.

It helps the cleaners work, especially in hard water. Laundry has used it for generations.

About 10% of a sheet in our working formula.^†

Yes, soda ash is another name for sodium carbonate.

It keeps the sheet soft and bendy so it doesn't crack in the pouch. More on plant glycerin.

It isn't from animals. We'll share the supplier spec when we have it.^†

Glycerin can be made from animal fat, and labels usually don't say. Ours isn't from animals.^†

Yes. Nothing in Just 7 comes from animals.^†

About 10% of a sheet in our working formula.^†

No. It's a small amount that keeps the sheet flexible, and it rinses away in the wash.

A water softener that helps the cleaners work and keeps the pH steady. More on sodium citrate.

Citric acid from fermented sugar, paired with sodium.

Yes. It's a classic swap for the phosphates detergents used to use to soften water.

About 7% of a sheet in our working formula.^†

Sodium citrate is used as a food ingredient, and it's a simple, well-known water softener.

Purified water. It carries everything while the sheet is made, and most of it dries off.

About 4% of a sheet in our working formula.^†

Decyl glucoside and lauryl glucoside are the cleaners. Washing soda and sodium citrate help them by softening the water.

Sodium carbonate and sodium citrate. They grab minerals so the cleaners can work.

Each one is made through processing, like any detergent ingredient. We list the source of every one on our ingredients page.

The fatty alcohol in our glucosides may come from coconut or palm. We'll name the confirmed source before launch.^†

Our glucoside cleaners may use a fatty alcohol from coconut or palm. If you have a coconut allergy, ask your doctor and check the final label.

Corn may be a source for the pullulan film and the sugar in our glucosides. We'll confirm sources on the final label.

Soy oil is one possible source for our plant glycerin. We'll confirm the source before launch.

None of our seven ingredients is wheat, barley or rye, but we haven't tested for gluten, so we don't make that claim.

We'll publish documents from our manufacturer before launch. Need one sooner for work? Contact us.

Yes. Print our ingredients page, or ask us for the full list by email.

If it does, we'll update the label and this page first. The name means seven, so the list stays short.

Look for a full ingredient list with what each one does. Read a label in 60 seconds.

A water softener planned for Just 9, not Just 7. What is GLDA.

No. Nothing in Just 7 comes from animals. Washing soda is a mineral, and the rest of the list is on the ingredients page.

Washing soda makes it mildly alkaline, like most laundry detergents. We'll publish the measured pH from our manufacturer's documents before launch.

Yes. It's a dry sheet with no water to ship, roughly 2 g each.^†

Cleaners (our two glucosides) lift oil and dirt. Water softeners (sodium citrate and washing soda) tie up hard-water minerals so the cleaners can work.

Most loads don't need it, and it would add to the list. Add oxygen bleach yourself when whites need a boost.

Yes. The final label will list the same seven ingredients, and we'll update this site if anything changes.
