Vegan Stain Remover Bar — 90 g | Plastic-Free, Plant-Derived Formula

A solid stain remover bar built entirely from plant-derived ingredients — no synthetic surfactants, no animal products, no plastic. The eko + co. Stain Remover Bar is a compact, shelf-ready laundry tool designed for retailers whose customers are actively replacing single-use liquid stain treatments with lower-waste alternatives. At 90 g and in a recyclable kraft box, it earns its place on zero-waste shop shelving, refillery counters, and natural grocery laundry sections without requiring additional display hardware.

Why Stock?

• Fully Vegan, Short Ingredient List — formulated with saponified vegetable oils, coconut-derived sodium coco sulfate, persimmon extract, tannic acid, and natural essential oils (lemongrass, sweet orange, tea tree). No tallow, no lanolin, no synthetic fragrance. The ingredient deck is short enough that end consumers can read and trust it on the spot.
• Plastic-Free Packaging, No Merchandising Required — the kraft cardboard box stands upright on a shelf as-is. No additional display fixtures, no hang-tabs to install. Fits neatly on standard shelving with a 3 cm × 3 cm footprint and 8.5 cm height.
• Natural Stain-Active Ingredients — persimmon extract and tannic acid are established natural compounds with stain-lifting and odour-neutralising properties, giving retailers a credible claim to communicate beyond just "eco" positioning.
• Repeat Purchase Format — a solid bar worn down with use is a natural repeat-purchase trigger. Consumers who adopt it into their laundry routine return for it. It pairs well with solid laundry bars and refillable detergents already in your product mix.
• Natural Scent Profile That Sells — lemongrass, sweet orange, and tea tree is a recognisable, widely trusted essential oil blend. It performs at the shelf card, in a sniff test, and in online descriptions without the risk of synthetic fragrance complaints.

Ideal Retail Channels

• Zero-Waste Shops — the plastic-free, solid format is a direct fit for stores built around packaging reduction. Can be displayed in box or pulled from the box for a bare-bar display on a wooden soap dish.
• Refilleries — while not a refillable product in the traditional sense, the solid format aligns with the refillery philosophy of eliminating plastic from the laundry room. Works well as an add-on purchase alongside laundry detergent refills.
• Natural Grocery & Wellness Boutiques — the vegan, plant-derived formula and clean ingredient label position it well in natural grocery laundry sections and wellness stores with a household cleaning range.
• Eco Lifestyle Boutiques — compact size and clean kraft packaging make it an easy add-on near point of sale or in a curated "sustainable home" display.

Handling & Display Notes

• Shelf Display: The kraft box stands upright with no additional fixture. Arrange vertically in rows or in a small wicker basket or wooden tray for a zero-waste aesthetic. A printed shelf card noting the vegan formula and essential oil scent drives trial.
• Bare-Bar Display Option: For refillery or zero-waste shop formats that prefer unpackaged product display, remove from box and place on a wooden soap dish or small ceramic dish. Kraft packaging can be set alongside as a reference card. Pair with a small handwritten or printed sign listing the key ingredients.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry location. Keep away from direct moisture prior to sale. Bar should be kept dry between uses by the end consumer — a simple slotted soap dish or mesh bag is sufficient.
• Shelf Pairing: Natural product affinity pairings — solid laundry bars, compostable laundry bags, wooden scrub brushes, and refillable fabric softener. Cross-merchandising with the laundry section increases basket size.

Retailer FAQs

• Is the formula truly 100% vegan with no animal-derived ingredients? Yes. Every ingredient is plant- or mineral-derived. Saponified vegetable oils replace tallow (common in conventional soap bars), coconut-derived sodium coco sulfate replaces synthetic surfactants, and no lanolin, beeswax, or other animal products are present.
• Can I stock this alongside other vegan or cruelty-free lines without certification conflicts? The formula is vegan by ingredient — no third-party certification logo is visible on current packaging. Confirm with eko + co. whether a Leaping Bunny, Vegan Society, or equivalent certification is available for shelf card or marketing use.
• How does this fit into a refillery format? The bar is solid and plastic-free, which aligns directly with refillery values. It does not require any dispensing infrastructure. Retailers typically display it on the counter near laundry refill stations as a complementary purchase — it adds to ticket size without requiring a separate product section.
• What is the shelf life and how should I manage inventory rotation?  Solid soap bars generally have 12–24 month shelf stability when stored dry, but confirm the specific formulation with the manufacturer.
