What do these Ingredients in Baby Detergent Mean?
If you feel like you need a degree in chemistry to understand what all these ingredients are, then don’t worry! We’re here to help decode them with our quick guide that explains what all the important laundry ingredient terms mean. Your detergent is made up of several components: surfactants, enzymes, bleach, builders, and polymers. These work together as a team to leave your baby’s clothes clean and stain-free.
Surfactants
These are the core stain-removal ingredients in the detergent. Surfactants remove grease stains and food residues from fabric, which is especially useful when your little one spills baby food all down that bib!
Enzymes
Enzymes are naturally-occurring proteins that help break stains down into smaller, easier to remove pieces. Washing detergents often include several different enzymes, each working to break down different stain types, from grass stains picked up by your active toddler to messy food stains.
Bleach
Bleach brightens your whites and helps remove pigmented, colored stains.
Builders
Builders work with hard-water molecules to enable the surfactants to remove stains. If you have hard water, you’ll need a detergent with builders in the ingredients list.
Polymers
Liquid laundry detergents, like Ivory Snow Stage 1: Newborn and Ivory Snow Stage 2: Fragrance Free, have a few different polymers. Each of these polymers has a different task, like stopping the stains from redepositing onto other garments, for example.
Laundry detergents also come with other ingredients, such as brighteners to make the colors on your garments pop and perfumes for that fresh, laundry smell. Buffers are used to balance acidity in the water, and suds suppressors prevent excess suds from spoiling your wash.
