Phosphates, No Way

You won't find any phosphates in products found on our site. Check the ingredients of anything you buy, but you probably already know that. Phosphates are water-softening additives that are used in some laundry detergents, not ours, to enhance the performance of surfactants. They can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea if ingested, and because it is corrosive, it can cause severe skin irritation. When phosphates enter waterways, they act as a fertilizer, spawning overgrowth of algae. This overabundance of aquatic plant life eventually depletes the water's oxygen supply, killing off fish and other organisms.
