Interesting read. The report is on tea tree oil and lavender oil, we definitely do not use these. I can assure you also that any essential oils we use are diluted into the product and not pure concentrate.

Love this (well i don't love the contact dermatitis bit) but I love the idea. Our ingredients are printed on our bottle and on our site, and we'd be happy to try to help identify what causes the issues! We have tested our products

Exactly, they're encouraging over-use =)

Really good points, i like the comparison idea! We need to make an Us vs. Them landing page. And our pump top is created to be super easy to use, just 6 pumps, no messy cap, one-handed, etc =) Thank you so much!!!

Haha this is amazing! All extremely great points. At the end of the day, we're just out here trying to do a little bit of good. You're a rockstar, thank you for the support =)

Thank you so much! And I actually laughed at the Twitch comment, fantastic =) But genuinely, really appreciate the support =)

Absolutely! We put a lot of effort into our formulation and the science behind it. Most "main-stream" detergents use chemicals like OBAs & FBAs (brighteners and whiteners), along with overly-harsh surfactants (soaps) and enzym

Amazing, thank you for the offer! We are always looking for ways to optimize all aspects of our business :)

All great points! - We've long since moved past the dorm-room stage =) and P&G have interests outside of making the best product possible. Concentrated detergent is relatively simple to do, and much easier to use. So why haven&#x27

See some of our above comments! Not trying to define masculinity, but if you've ever used cologne, you might find you love us- a cheaper, better, more all-encompassing solution =)

A very good point, we're never going to try to price compete with Tide (although our 16oz is concentrated and holds 32 loads). It's a large, and quickly growing market. Consider the size of the premium cologne market- we're j

This is so nice to read! Thanks for the awesome feedback. We absolutely want to expand to using models super soon, I think it's a great idea. And you're dead-on with women purchasing! Super great idea, and in fact 30 - 40% of our

Agreed on not wanting to do laundry! But the vast majority of our customers actually enjoy laundry just a little bit more (or hate it a little less) when using FREY. And your GF might love us too, 30 - 40% of our customers are women, and so

We 10000% agree! The absolute worst. Give our stain remover a try after each use of the shirt! Once the stain is there and washed (the washing sets the stain a bit more) it's difficult to remove, but we've seen it remove wine, vin

It's a great point! We're not for everyone, and particularly if you don't care about the fragrance, we're probably not for you (although we do focus on treating your clothing better as well as making a positive impact).

We actually very much agree! You'll notice we didn't use "masculine" anywhere in our description. I wrote a lengthier explanation to a below comment. As I said before though, the product is created for everyone, just tai

Also, 30 - 40% of our customers are women. We're created for everyone, just tailored towards some =)

Hey there! We're not suggesting anything about masculinity or what defines a man. This is just about creating a great product for a segment of the population- we eventually want to branch out. But, for the current, fragrance is the #1
