Formulation
The foundation of Kookaburra Wash is a blend of nonionic surfactants based on fatty alcohol polyglycolic ethers derived from vegetable sources. The surfactants are enhanced by a small addition of a dispersant (also derived from vegetable sources) with stabilizing and softening properties.
Conditioning is carried out using a combination of natural substances, Jojoba Bean oil and Coconut oil. Tea Tree ( Melaleuca Alternifolia ) Oil is added as a preventative against dust mite and for its known general antimicrobial properties. This conditioner helps to carry the tea tree oil into the fiber and keeps the tea tree oil effective as a miticide between washes.
To maintain the comfort and therapeutic advantages of sheepskin, the laundering of the skin and wool fiber is very important. New wool fiber is encased in a protective barrier of protein. On shearling this coating acts as a protective shield and allows circulation between the individual fibers. Our unique wash removes stains while lubricating both skin and wool fiber.
All of the components of Kookaburra Wash are biodegradable. Our woolwash contains no enzymes, phosphates, peroxide, or alkali and is Colorfast.
