Powerful Clean | Gentle on Sensitive Skin | Choose Your Size | Handcrafted in Small Batches
Most laundry detergents, including the ones marketed as natural or gentle, use coconut-derived surfactants as their primary cleaning agent. If you react to coconut, that means nearly every option on the shelf is off the table. This one isn't.
Sea Spray's coconut-free laundry powder uses saponified tallow soap instead of any coconut oil or coconut-derived ingredient. No Coco Glucoside, no SLS, no hidden coconut in the scent blend. Six ingredients, named plainly on the label, in a formula tested on genuinely sensitive skin.
Available in a 16 oz trial size and a 2 lb refill size. Same formula, same seven scents.
Choose Your Size
16 oz (~40 front-load washes / ~20 top-load washes) - The right starting size if you're switching from conventional detergent or trying tallow-based formula for the first time. At $14.99, it covers roughly 5–6 weeks of daily front-load washing.
2 lb (~80 front-load washes / ~40 top-load washes) - The everyday refill size. One bag covers roughly 2.5 months of daily front-load washing at $24.99. Subscribe & Save keeps it coming on your schedule without lifting a finger.
Why Customers Choose the Tallow Formula
Made Fresh in Small Batches
Each batch is handcrafted in Flagler County, FL. Not mass-produced in industrial facilities, not sitting in a warehouse. Consistent quality, every bag.
100% Coconut-Free
No coconut oil, no coconut-derived surfactants, no coconut ingredients of any kind, not in the base formula, not in the scent blend. Every scented variety uses pure essential oils only, and each one is listed by name on the label.
Cost-Effective Per Load
The 16 oz runs about $0.37 per front-load wash. The 2 lb drops that to about $0.31. Compare that to $0.30+ per commercial pod - without the synthetic fillers, optical brighteners, or mystery fragrance blends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this laundry powder truly coconut-free?
Yes, 100% coconut-free. Sea Spray uses saponified tallow soap as the cleaning base instead of coconut oil or any coconut-derived surfactant. There is no coconut oil, no Coco Glucoside, no SLS, and no coconut derivatives in the scent blend. Scented varieties use pure essential oils only, and each one is listed explicitly on the label.
What is the difference between the 16 oz and the 2 lb size?
It's the same formula, same scents. The 16 oz gives approximately 40 front-load washes or 20 top-load washes and is a good starting size if you're trying tallow-based laundry powder for the first time. The 2 lb gives approximately 80 front-load washes or 40 top-load washes and is the better value for ongoing use.
How does tallow soap compare to coconut-based soap for laundry?
Tallow soap has been used as a cleaning agent for centuries. It's a stable, effective base that cleans thoroughly without the reactive properties that cause problems for people sensitive to coconut derivatives. Many people with coconut allergies or sensitivities find tallow-based formulas work just as well, and are far gentler, than coconut-derived alternatives.
Does this work in hard water?
It does. The sodium carbonate (washing soda) in the formula helps counteract hard water minerals. For very hard water, adding a small extra amount of powder helps the formula perform at its best.
Is this safe for HE washing machines?
Yes. This is a low-sudsing formula designed to work in high-efficiency front-load and top-load machines. Use 1 tablespoon per front-load wash, 2 tablespoons for top-load or heavily soiled items.
Is this safe for cloth diapers?
Yes. The coconut-free formula works well on cloth diapers. Use the standard recommended amount and skip fabric softeners, which reduce absorbency over time.
Is this septic safe?
Yes. The formula is septic-safe and won't disrupt the beneficial bacteria in your system.
Does this contain animal-derived ingredients?
Yes, tallow is a rendered animal fat and is the cleaning base for this formula. It's sourced responsibly and is the reason this product contains no coconut derivatives. Sea Spray Soap does not test on animals.
