Our history

Get to know us

In many parts of the world, washing in cold water is standard. In the US and Europe, where doing laundry is one of the most energy-intensive household chores, environmentally-conscious consumers are choosing cold washes to save energy and to make their clothes last longer. That’s why we developed this product to give consumers high performance even at low temperatures.

Performs well in cold washes

Most laundry detergents and softeners contain chelators to soften water and help with stain removal. Unfortunately, strong chelators can also remove the calcium ions that are crucial to an enzyme’s structural stability. This product has been developed for compatibility with strong chelators.

Stable in presence of strong chelators

Fuzz and pills on the fabric surface make bright colors appear dull, dark colors faded and patterns blurry. They also trap dirt to make whites appear gray. By removing and preventing fuzz and pills, this product leaves colors bright, whites white and patterns sharp.

Color care

Cotton clothes often start to feel rough to the touch after a few washes. One important cause is the tiny fibers that come loose from cotton threads over time, causing fuzz. The longer fibers stand out from the surface of the fabric to cause pills. By cutting off tiny fibers on the surface of the fabric, this product leaves the fabric surface smoother.

Fabric care

Cotton-containing fabrics often start to feel rough to the touch after a few washes. By removing and preventing fuzz and pills, Carezyme® Elite enhances softness so fabrics feel nicer for longer.

Softness

Because Carezyme® Elite helps clothes look and feel like new for longer, consumers can discard fewer garments. It also enables greener formulations, since enzymes are fully biodegradable and a renewable resource – unlike many other detergent ingredients. That’s a win for environmentally conscious consumers and a win for your brand’s sustainability profile.

Carezyme® Elite is engineered to withstand the stability challenges other care cellulases face. The improved stability profile of Carezyme® Elite enables formulation flexibility and stability in protease-containing detergents throughout the shelf life of your detergent. This means that consumers can experience the full range of fabric care and cleaning benefits.

Formulation flexibility

Carezyme®Elite features an optimized stability profile. This enables co-formulation with proteases and other cleaning ingredients to deliver on both fabric care and cleaning benefits. Carezyme® Elite removes and prevents fuzz and pills, enhancing color vibrancy and softness. Extensive testing and visual analysis of real consumer clothing demonstrates that liquid detergents with Carezyme® Elite help consumers’ garments stay newer for longer.

Benefits

Most care cellulases are not truly stable. When a detergent combines a protease, used for its cleaning effect, with a typical care cellulase, the protease attacks the exposed linker part of the cellulase – meaning the cellulase loses performance.

The fully stabilized Carezyme® Elite molecule has an optimized linker that withstands co-formulation with protease. This optimized stability enables consistent performance of the formulated liquid product in use. And means your brand can deliver care and clean.

Details

This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.

Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.

Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:
