What's NOT Found in Wintree

Now that you know about all the quality ingredients in Wintree, here’s a list of questionable ingredients found in conventional laundry detergents which are NOT found in Wintree:

• Chlorine Bleach: Creates dangerous toxins in the environment that affect humans and animals. Research has shown a direct link between dioxins (found in chlorine bleach) and cancer, birth defects and developmental and reproductive disorders.
