No optical brighteners
Pros
I use this because it is the only detergent in the 10 recommended by Consumer that doesn't have optical brighteners. It is 1 of only 3 of the 10 that isn't packaged in plastic.
Cons
I don't particularly like the smell, but it is not offensive.
Recommend it?
Maybe, it depends on what you're after.
