Does the Norwex Laundry Detergent contain phosphate?
The answer is yes, but only a VERY small amount (3% phosphate in the laundry soap). The new (store-brand) phosphate-free laundry soap has a new synthetic replacement for the phosphate and it has not been studied for it’s long term environmental effect. Norwex says that when adequate studies have been done on this chemical they will consider a switch, but until then they will stick with a very small amount of phosphate, whose effect is well understood.
