SuperBee Hexawash Magnesium Laundry Alternative
SuperBee
Hexawash (Reusable Magnesium Laundry Alternative)
On plastic footprint, which is what we measure, this is a 1: an organic-cotton pouch and magnesium, no plastic and no detergent. Confidence is partial because magnesium-only cleaning is a debated method and the GOTS claim is not registry-confirmed.
A reusable organic-cotton pouch filled with magnesium pellets that replaces detergent for hundreds of washes. Plastic-free and detergent-free, so a 1 on plastic footprint, with the honest caveat that magnesium-only cleaning is debated.

What's inside
A sewn organic-cotton canvas pouch holding roughly 120 g of magnesium pellets. In water the magnesium raises the wash pH, which the brand says lifts dirt without detergent. No plastic, surfactant, or fragrance.

- Packaging
- Brand states no plastic in the packaging; presented in a canvas or card box
