Non‑Biological Laundry for Sensitive Skin – Why It Matters

Non‑Biological Laundry for Sensitive Skin – Why It Matters

 

What Does “Non‑Biological” Mean?

In laundry care, non‑biological detergents are those that do not contain enzymes.

Enzymes are effective at breaking down certain stains, but they can sometimes be too harsh on sensitive skin or delicate fabrics. By leaving them out, we create a gentler formulation without sacrificing performance.

Why Non‑Biological is Better for Sensitive Skin

People with sensitive skin, eczema, or allergies often find biological detergents irritating. Non‑biological formulas:

  • Avoid harsh enzymes

  • Reduce the risk of skin irritation

  • Are suitable for washing baby clothes, underwear, and woollens

  • Still deliver an excellent clean with the right surfactants (like Wilton’s plant‑based chicory root cleaner)

Wilton’s Gentle Approach

Wilton’s non‑biological laundry liquids are designed to be both gentle and effective:

  • No enzymes

  • Plant‑based cleaning agents

  • Fragrance designed by perfumers for a premium wash experience

  • Tested for skin compatibility

What We Avoid

To keep our formulas skin‑friendly, we avoid:

  • Optical brighteners

  • Harsh bleaches

  • Triclosan

  • Microplastics

  • Synthetic dyes

    This ensures your laundry is as kind to your skin as it is to the environment.

When to Use Non‑Biological Detergents

Non‑biological detergents are ideal for:

  • Families with young children

  • People with sensitive skin or allergies

  • Delicate fabrics like wool, silk, and cashmere

  • Everyday laundry where gentle cleaning is a priority
