Most fabric softeners use animal tallow and water-repellent chemicals to waterproof your clothes to make them feel softer. Seventh Generation Fabric Softener uses renewable soy to make your laundry naturally fluffy, soft, and static-free. Our softener has a soft floral scent. Many traditional fabric softeners are made from tallow and animal by-products. Seventh Generation’s fabric softener does not contain animal ingredients, is not tested on animals.
