Molly's Suds Laundry Detergent, Lavender

Scanned July 2026 · cleaning · high confidence

The real story

This detergent makes strong claims about what's NOT in it, and the Leaping Bunny cert is a plus. The 2x concentration is a good step, though the full ingredient list isn't visible.

Great ingredients, good concentration. Packaging is the next step.

How do the five signals break down?

Each signal is worth 20 points — the method is public at how we score.

What is on the label?

Primary claim: "Safer Ingredients"

What the claims cover

• Leaping Bunny

What is still missing

• Plastic bottle is standard; a powder or tablet would reduce waste.

Worth knowing

• The 'NO' list on this bottle is genuinely impressive, covering all the major things you want to avoid in laundry detergent!

Where the footprint lives

Scope 3 — the supply chain: No specific Scope 3 data is disclosed, but 'Made in USA' suggests a shorter supply chain than globally sourced alternatives.

Most of a product's emissions sit upstream in Scope 3 — the scope breakdown explains why that decides the score.

Smart swaps and tips

• Look for powder detergents in cardboard boxes to cut plastic entirely.
• EPA Safer Choice is the cert that actually means something for cleaning products.

People and health

Social: No labor or wage information disclosed.

Health: Explicitly avoids 1,4 dioxane, formaldehyde, synthetic dyes/fragrances, SLS, and optical brighteners.
