What's in Charlie's Soap?
Green Primary Ingredients
Charlie's Soap’s ingredients can be separated into two categories: biodegradable ingredients and
natural mineral ingredients. The U.S. requires that a product biodegrade 80% in 28 days before it can
be labeled as "biodegradable." As tested by the Japan Food Research Laboratories, our biodegradable
ingredients degrade by 97.3% in 28 days in soil. The rest of our ingredients fall under the natural
mineral category. Our products were also rated safe for use around lakes and streams and have been
approved by the USDA for use around food preparing surfaces, and are non-toxic.

Zero incidental ingredients
Many other "green" detergents use incidental chemicals to augment their cleaning agents. These are
things like (but are not limited to): oleic acid, sodium hydroxide, boric acid, protease and amylase,
glycerin, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, citric acid, methylisothiazolinone and benzisothiazolinone…
you get the idea.
Charlie's Soap contains and needs NONE of these chemicals or chemicals like them: no baking soda,
no zeolites, no fragrances, no bleach, no anti-foaming agents, no essential oils, no anti-redeposition
agents, no thickening agents, no enzymes. Charlie’s Soap stands on its simple formula for superior
cleaning and safety.
