Coco sulphate (SCS) A plant-based cleaning surfactant (usually from coconut). It's the soap power that lifts grease and dirt so it can be wiped away. You'll see similar surfactants in shampoos and body washes too, but in our tablets its here for cleaning performance.

Sodium carbonate (washing soda) A classic cleaning mineral that makes the water more alkaline. That higher pH helps break down grime and boosts cleaning performance. Real-world uses: laundry powders, dishwasher detergents, heavy-duty degreasers, and even glass manufacturing. It can also be used in food processing as sodium carbonates (E500), but its much more common in cleaning than in home cooking.

Citric acid A natural acid found in citrus fruits. It helps tackle limescale and mineral build-up, and balances the formula so it cleans well. Real-world uses: food (E330) in drinks and sweets, descaling kettles/coffee machines, and lots of skincare/cosmetics as a pH adjuster.

Magnesium sulphate A mineral salt (same family as Epsom salt). In tablets it can help with structure and processing, and supports consistent dissolving. Real-world uses: bath soaks (Epsom salt), some cosmetics, and as a food additive in certain applications (E518)

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) A plant fibre used in tablets. It helps bind everything together so the tablet stays strong instead of crumbling.Real-world uses: very common in vitamins/supplements and many foods as a stabiliser/bulking agent (E460)

Xanthan gum A natural thickener. In tiny amounts it helps the dissolved cleaner feel a bit more grippy and can improve how it clings to surfaces.Real-world uses: food (E415) in sauces and dressings, and in cosmetics for texture.

Gum arabic A natural tree sap used as a binder. It helps the tablet hold together and can smooth out the dissolve.Real-world uses: food (E414) in sweets and soft drinks, plus cosmetics and pharmaceuticals as a binder.

Essential oils Natural fragrance oils for that fresh, clean scent. They're powerful, so we use them sparingly.Real-world uses: perfumery, soaps, candles, and aromatherapy. In skincare theyre used too, but they can be irritating for some people  and they contain natural fragrance allergens (like limonene/linalool/citral)

Mica A mineral pigment that adds a subtle shimmer/colour effect. Mostly here for the vibe.Real-world uses: makeup (highlighters, eyeshadow), soaps, and coatings.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)A naturally yellow vitamin that can add a gentle tint. Also a neat little science-y colour trick.Real-world uses: food colouring (E101) and supplements.

Maltodextrin A plant-based carbohydrate powder often used as a carrier. Here it helps distribute fragrance more evenly through the tablet.Real-world uses: very common in food (sports drinks, snacks, flavour carriers) and also used in supplements and cosmetics.
