  • Use more beads for a stronger, longer-lasting scent

  • Works on all temperatures — hot or cold
  • Compatible with all machine types
  • Pair with our non-bio laundry sheets for the complete Simple Living Eco wash

Ingredients

Corn Starch Extract Natural
A natural, plant-derived carrier derived from maize. Used as the base structure of the bead, it allows fragrance to be held evenly and released gradually during the wash cycle — without any petrochemical additives.

Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) Plant-Derived
A natural cellulose derivative that acts as a binder and fragrance-retention agent. It helps the beads hold their shape during storage, then dissolves cleanly in the wash — releasing fragrance evenly through the water and into fabric fibres. Biodegradable and skin-compatible.

Essential Oil Fragrance Blends Natural
Our fragrances are composed of pure essential oil blends — no synthetic fragrance chemicals, no phthalates, no artificial carriers. Available in Spring Fresh (green, floral, clean) and Coconut (warm, tropical, soft musk).

Free from: PEG · petrochemical carriers · synthetic fragrance chemicals · phthalates · parabens · optical brighteners

Caring about the environment

By using these laundry sheets I feel I’m not harming the environment the way washing liquids and laundry pods/capsules do, I just tear the sheets into smaller pieces to make sure they dissolve fully. I’ve also stopped using fabric softener as I feel there really is no need for that either. Clothes wash and iron well.

Great products and customer service

Regular user of their laundry sheets which are very good. Wasn't sure about trying the scent boosters as quite expensive but well worth it as only need a small amount to give a lovely fragrance. Great products and customer service.

Love the plastic and bulk-free packing

Love the plastic free packing, and the bulk-free packing. These give a good clean, are dead easy and mess free to use, and presumably not at all tempting to children, so there's no "keep away from young children" warnings.

Your Questions, Answered

How They Work

How do they work?

The beads dissolve evenly during the wash, dispersing fragrance through the water and into the fabric fibres themselves rather than coating the surface. That's why the scent lasts — it's woven into the fabric, not sitting on top of it waiting to fade after the first wear.

What are fragrance booster beads?

Fragrance booster beads are small, dissolvable powdered pellets that you add to your washing machine drum alongside your detergent. They dissolve during the wash and release fragrance into your laundry, leaving clothes smelling fresh for days after washing.

How do laundry detergent sheets work?

Our booster beads are made from corn starch extract and carboxymethylcellulose — natural carriers that hold fragrance evenly within each bead. When the beads dissolve in the wash, they release the fragrance gradually through the water and into your fabric fibres.

Do fragrance booster beads fully dissolve in the wash?

Yes, completely. Our beads dissolve fully in both hot and cold water, leaving no residue on clothes, in the drum, or in the machine.

Where do I put fragrance booster beads?

For a subtle, all-round fragrance  add the beads directly into the drum before loading your laundry. For a stronger, longer-lasting scent  place the beads in the fabric softener drawer instead.

Perfect with our laundry sheets?

The beads dissolve evenly during the wash, dispersing fragrance through the water and into the fabric fibres themselves rather than coating the surface. That's why the scent lasts — it's woven into the fabric, not sitting on top of it waiting to fade after the first wear.

What makes these different?

Most fragrance booster beads on supermarket shelves use PEG (polyethene glycol) as the fragrance carrier. PEG is a petrochemical derived from fossil fuels. It's used because it's cheap and effective, but it comes with an environmental cost and a questionable profile for sensitive skin. Our beads are made with corn starch extract and carboxymethylcellulose, natural, plant-derived carriers that hold fragrance evenly and release it gradually throughout the wash cycle. The result is a deeper, longer-lasting scent that genuinely stays in your fabrics — not just on the surface.

Skin & Safety

Are fragrance booster beads safe for sensitive skin?

Our booster beads are formulated without PEG. We use corn starch extract and cellulose instead  both plant-derived and skin-compatible. If you have a diagnosed fragrance allergy, we'd always recommend patch testing first.

Are fragrance booster beads safe for eczema?

Our PEG-free formula makes our beads a more considered choice for people managing eczema than the typical supermarket booster bead. That said, fragrance of any kind can be a trigger for some eczema sufferers  our Unscented laundry sheets may be the better option.

Are fragrance booster beads safe for babies and children?

Our beads are made from plant-derived ingredients without PEG, synthetic fragrance chemicals, parabens, or optical brighteners. For very young babies, we'd recommend using our Unscented laundry sheets without boosters for baby clothing and bedding.

Are fragrance booster beads septic tank safe?

Yes. Our plant-derived formula — corn starch extract, carboxymethylcellulose, and essential oil blends — is septic tank safe and grey water safe.

Eco & Ingredients

What are fragrance booster beads made from?

Three ingredients: corn starch extract, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and essential oil fragrance blends. No PEG, no petrochemicals, no synthetic fragrance additives, no fillers.

What is PEG, and why should I avoid it in booster beads?

PEG stands for polyethene glycol, a petrochemical derived from fossil fuels. It's not biodegradable in the same way plant-derived alternatives are, and has a questionable profile for sensitive skin. Our beads use corn starch extract and carboxymethylcellulose instead.

Are fragrance booster beads vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Every ingredient is plant-derived. No animal products, no animal testing, no palm oil derivatives.

Usage & Value

Do fragrance booster beads work with laundry sheets?

Yes, and they're designed to pair with the sheets. Both go directly into the drum. The sheet dissolves and cleans. The beads dissolve and scent. Together, they give you a full premium laundry result from a completely plastic-free wash.

Can I use fragrance booster beads with any detergent?

Yes  compatible with any laundry detergent format including liquid, powder, pods, capsules, and laundry sheets.

Do fragrance booster beads work in cold water?

Yes  our beads dissolve and work effectively at all wash temperatures, including cold washes from 20°C upwards.

How much should I use per wash?

Add directly to the drum and adjust to your preference. Use less for a subtle background scent and more for a stronger, longer-lasting fragrance. Start with a small amount and increase until you find the level that's right for your household.
