# DIY Rosemary Detergents Hello Natural's DIY Laundry Detergent is a Simple Five Ingredient Recipe By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-03-25 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-laundry-detergent References: [hellonatural.co](http://hellonatural.co/homemade-laundry-detergent-with-tea-tree-rosemary/) As with most [cleaning products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multi-surface-eco-cleaner), you might think that it's easier to go into a store and pick up a box or a bottle off of a shelf, but this [DIY laundry detergent](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabric-rinse) from Hello Natural promises to be better for you, your home, the environment and your wallet. The recipe calls for five simple ingredients, including a stain remover bar, a grated bar of soap, borax, essential oils and washing soda, which you can even make from baking soda at home. In order to help cut down on the strong scent of the soap bars, essential oils like tea tree and rosemary can be used, although this recipe makes a great base for any other essential oils that you find to be pleasing. The entire recipe can be made in the food processor and kept safely in an airtight container. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Laundry Detergent:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in offering DIY laundry detergent recipes and products to cater to consumers who prefer chemical-free and eco-friendly options. - **Natural Cleaning Products:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing and marketing natural cleaning products that are better for health, the environment, and affordability. - **Home-based Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in providing home-based manufacturing solutions or kits for making laundry detergents and related products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cleaning Supplies:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the cleaning supplies industry by offering non-toxic and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional laundry detergents. - **Essential Oils:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the essential oils industry by promoting their use in DIY cleaning products and creating innovative scent blends. - **Food Processing Equipment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the food processing equipment industry by designing specialized equipment for easily making homemade laundry detergents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bespoke Laundry Detergents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steamery.md) - [Free-From Laundry Detergents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinobi-detergent.md) - [Luxury Laundry Detergents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dedtergent.md) - [Organic Luxe-Scented Laundry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moam-organics.md) - [Clothing-Renewing Laundry Detergents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dylon-detergent.md) - [Free-From Laundry Detergents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonbio-laundry-powder.md) - [Natural Cleaning Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charlies-soap-1.md) - [Spray Laundry Detergents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spray-laundry-detergent.md) - [Sustainable Laundry Detergent Sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-laundry-detergent-sheet.md)
