Crux founder in warm natural light

Made for a Mom

In 1999, Shaj’s wife began to react to commercial detergents. So he set out to make a wash kind to her skin. Twenty-five years later, that one formula is a technology behind every Crux product.

Are your clothes actually clean?

  1. Some detergents add fluorescent brightening agents.

  2. They don’t remove dirt.

  3. They stay on your clothes and bounce light, so whites look whiter.

  4. Bright is not clean.

Crux removes dirt.

What else is not in Crux

Left out on purpose, so it stays kind to hands that wash every day.

Preservatives and parabens

Why it’s added

Liquid detergents are mostly water, which spoils easily. Preservatives stop microbes growing.

Why it’s a problem

Some common preservatives, parabens included, can cause skin allergies in some people. That matters when you wash by hand.

Why Crux doesn’t need it

Crux is a concentrate that doesn’t spoil, so there is nothing to preserve.

Caustic soda

Why it’s added

It makes the wash strongly alkaline, so it cuts dirt fast and cheaply.

Why it’s a problem

It is harsh on skin that washes every day and can dry and irritate hands.

Why Crux doesn’t need it

Crux’s formula cleans without harsh alkali.

Phthalates

Why it’s added

To carry fragrance and make it last.

Why it’s a problem

They are linked to hormone-disruption concerns, and they do nothing for cleaning.

Why Crux doesn’t need it

Crux cleans because of its formula, not its scent, so there is nothing for it to carry.

Are you buying detergent or empty weight?

10 clothes need 10 g of Crux. Ordinary powders and liquids ask for 60 to 90 g.So what is in the rest?

  • Powder

    Fillers

  • Liquid

    Water + preservatives

  • Crux

    Every gram cleans

Nothing left undissolved, so nothing is left behind.

Works in your machine too.

[X] spoons per load. Top load and front load.

Cleaning your clothes is the detergent's job, not yours — Crux replaces scrubbing and beating with one spoon of cream

Cleaning your clothes is the detergent's job, not yours.

81% of Indian households have no washing machine. Without one, clean clothes mean brushing, soaking, beating and bar soap. Even with one, many people pre-scrub, pre-wash or soak first.

Crux replaces all of it. One spoon. One minute.

Wash your sins away.

From the pouch to the drain, Crux takes less from the planet and leaves less behind.

It starts with using less. 10 g of Crux does the job of up to 9 times as much ordinary detergent.

Pack

85% less packaging. 1 tonne of Crux replaces about 9 tonnes of ordinary detergent and its packs.

Ship

Up to 9x less to transport. Fewer trucks, less fuel.

Rinse

3 rinses at most. Less water.

Phosphates feed algae that choke rivers.

Not in Crux.

EDTA can free heavy metals in rivers.

Not in Crux.

Fluorescent agents linger in the water.

Not in Crux.

No offset schemes, no badges. Just a formula built to do less harm, from the first ingredient to the last rinse.

Don't take our word for it.
