Our Oxygen Brightener is a bleach alternative that acts as both a laundry booster and an oxygen cleaner. Use it to cut through tough stains and persistent odors. Add it to your wash cycle with our Laundry Powder for an extra boost.

We use only what you need to clean your clothes and your home: an unscented powder made from sodium percarbonate and washing soda.

All of our ingredients are MADE SAFE® Certified, Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free, and vegan. We list every ingredient, including scents, on the front label so you can see what’s in your detergent.

Our plastic-free oxygen powder is packaged in a paper and steel canister. The canister is designed to be reused with our low-waste Oxygen Brightener refills and is fully recyclable.

Net wt. 32 oz. (907 g). Contains 128 HE (64 Standard) loads.

  • Made with Safer Ingredients

    Our bleach alternative is MADE SAFE® Certified, meaning it meets the strictest ingredient screening requirement in the industry. We prioritize the health of both people and the planet in our ingredient choices.

    This oxygen cleaner is made from sodium percarbonate and washing soda without any added fragrances. It is free of bleach, chlorine, dyes, preservatives, and other harsh chemicals commonly used in oxygen cleaners.

  • Designed and Packaged Sustainably

    By making a concentrated oxygen powder, we eliminate the need for unnecessary plastic, like hidden liners or PVA pods and sheets.

    Our paper-and-steel canister is designed to be reused with our low-waste Oxygen Brightener Refills.

    Oxygen bleach is lighter than liquid bleach, making it more energy- and cost-effective to ship to you. It also takes up less space in your home—our can is only 6 inches tall and 4.25 inches wide.

  • Manufactured in the United States

    Our products are made in the USA from 70% domestically sourced materials.*

    We design and manufacture our oxygen powder in our Chicago factory and ship it directly to you and our retail partners.

    Our team members earn living wages and benefits and are integral to continually improving our products and processes.

    *Based on raw material sourcing by cost in 2024.

Transparency

We strive for transparency and accuracy, not greenwashing or misleading claims. Here are key terms we use to describe our products and what we mean when we use them:

People- and Planet-Friendly

We aim to make the best cleaning products we can with people and the planet in mind. “People- and planet-friendly” is our shorthand for that goal and the decisions and practices we make to support it. We use the terms “sustainable” and “sustainably” in a similar way to describe our products and practices.

We give specific examples to back up these phrases whenever we can, including factual descriptions of ingredients and packaging, company practices, and third-party certifications that hold us accountable.

Learn more about our sustainability.

Plastic-Free

Plastic-free means that the finished product contains no plastic in the ingredients and packaging.

While we design our finished products to eliminate as much plastic as possible, plastic may still be used in other parts of the product life cycle, such as the supply chain and manufacturing processes. For instance, raw materials may arrive at our factory in plastic shipping materials, and our team members use plastic gloves when handling chemicals during soapmaking.

Learn more about plastic-free cleaning products.

Safer Ingredients

Conventional cleaning products pose numerous health risks for people and the planet. We provide safer alternatives made with ingredients, materials, and processes that minimize negative impact. 

We value third-party screenings that help us verify that our products meet our high standards for safety. Our products are MADE SAFE® Certified for ingredient safety.

No more stinky

We all have them. You know - those shirts, and socks, an other garments that just want to keep hold of their stinky. Meliora laundry soap can help you in the war against stinky clothes. And in the end, those socks actually like to be clean and smell so nice!

No plastics!

I love that I can buy a refill that doesn’t include any plastic. And it works well without any yucky ingredients that make my skin itch. I love the peppermint smell too! Thanks for helping me avoid plastics.
