Environmental friendliness and safety are becoming more important when choosing household chemicals. Buyers are especially careful when choosing detergents for washing children’s underwear. A whole series of ECO Zaya washing powders has appeared on the market – we will find out what their composition is and who produces them.
About Eco Zay
Today it is customary to produce special detergents for children’s things. Their main difference is increased security. Toxicity is unacceptable here. The presence of harmful impurities harms the child’s body both latently and explicitly. Examples of the latter are skin irritations and allergic reactions.
Who is the manufacturer?
The author of Eco Zai is not Israel at all – although such strange information can be found on the Internet, but the Volgodonsk Chemical Plant Kristall OJSC (Russia, Rostov Region, Volgodonsk).
Composition
If you have a magnifying glass and a desire to know what the powdered substance is made of, which you will wash your baby’s clothes, you can make an interesting discovery. It turns out that the “safe, environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic” product contains phosphates – their presence is honestly reported on the packaging, in the “Composition” section. Another thing is that not all parents are serious about the problem of environmental friendliness of household chemicals and do not read what is written on it in the smallest print.
Let’s list the ingredients:
- APAV;
- NSAIDs;
- flavoring;
- esters of polyethylene glycol sodium sulfate;
- soap base;
- enzymes;
- sodium carbonate;
- sodium silicate;
- carboxymethylcellulose;
- phosphates;
- phosphonates.
The presence of phosphates is simply unacceptable in such powders. These connections are prohibited by European standards. In Russia, they are still used. The harm of these substances is difficult to underestimate – it is enough that they provoke cancer. They destroy human health and the entire ecosystem.

We will find out how things really are, what parents say – mostly mothers who have had time to test Zaya. However, after we found out what Eco Zaya is made of, it’s not so important what users say. Therefore, we will try to concentrate their reviews as much as possible – as always, they range from extremely positive (“Nakhodka!”, “I will always buy it!”) To extremely negative (“What a horror!”, “What a shame to deceive!”).
Pros:
- Pleasant aroma.
- Removes contaminants well.
- It is economically consumed.
- Washed things are pleasant to the touch.
- Fabrics do not wear out for a long time.
- Affordable.
- Removes food stains, etc.
- “Safety” (this, as we have already found out, is a cruel delusion).
- Dissolves well.
- Beautiful packaging.
Cons:
- Poor composition – this was noted by those parents who asked them.
- “I would argue about Eco”, “What is Eco in it?”, “More dangerous than many ordinary brands” (quotes).
Conclusions
Summing up:
- On many Internet sites, the brand in question is presented as “phosphate-free”. This is either a bug or deliberate misrepresentation.
- Does not meet environmental requirements.
- The presence of phosphates did not go unnoticed by many people who bought the “environmentally friendly Zaya”. Those who did not ask what the Volgodonsk powder is made of are mostly satisfied with the purchase.
One wonders how domestic producers treat the health of children in their country. What to demand from foreign companies? Nevertheless, it is imported products that show the best safety indicators.
If you are looking for an inexpensive detergent and you don’t care what it is made of, you can buy Zaya. Wash them for yourself. If you value the health of your children, look for something truly safe – there is nothing good in Eco Zay, except for beautiful packaging and a cute name.
