Our products are ethically manufactured in Australia and China, using ingredients sourced all over the world. Our 100% home compostable wrappers are manufactured in Queensland Australia, and the tablets & remaining packaging is presently manufactured in China.
Transparency is important to us, we have more information on our ethical manufacturing process here.
We are migrating more of our manufacturing on-shore to Australia throughout 2022 and are fully committed to supporting the local manufacturing economy. Read more via the link above.
The material safety data sheets (MSDS or SDS for short) for each of our products can be found through the links below.
Foaming Hand Soap
Yes. Our products do not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and generally regarded as very safe for use around pets and animals.
Our products are designed and developed in Australia by our talented team of staff and advisors.
Palm oil is a complex environmental issue and we’ve made a point to provide as much detail on this as possible. In short, we can’t guarantee our products are palm-oil free however we do insist on responsible sourcing.
We once proudly promoted our products as palm-oil free, however following lengthy discussions with our raw materials suppliers, we realised it was impractical and potentially unsustainable to truly provide assurance over the long term.
All of our ingredients can be derived from other non-palm sources such as coconuts, however availability of these alternatives has been impacted by COVID-19. If we cannot source our palm-free ingredient, our partners may source alternatives from other plants, sometimes palm. If this is the case, we will request RSPO Certified palm products that are sourced from responsible farms and plantations.
Our brand motto is “do the right thing” and we love that consumers try to avoid palm oil to decrease the rate of rainforest deforestation. But, we also believe there is a space for RSPO certified palm oil.
Palm oil has the highest yield (litres per acre) so switching to other oils (like Olive Oil or Coconut) may cause more deforestation as those other plants will require more room to produce to same amount of oil as palm. For example, olive oil requires 5x the land and coconut oil requires 3x.
Oil yield is especially important given palm oil is found in roughly 50% of all packaged products on supermarket shelves including shampoos, baking oil, chocolate, cosmetics, chips, cookies, margarine and soaps. If palm oil is boycotted, global demand for an oil is not going to go down, companies will need an alternative oil source, and this will result in more forest loss to plant these crops.
We believe RSPO Certified palm is a genuinely sustainable choice versus many alternatives, however our suppliers are still instructed to source coconut-derived alternatives when practical as it is generally a preferred choice from customers.
Our HQ and warehouse is based in the beautiful suburb of Woolloongabba in Brisbane, Queensland.

For every tablet sold, we’ll pick up the equivalent of 1 plastic bottle from the ocean. This is equivalent to 190 grams (0.42 lbs) of ocean plastic.
This is achieved through our Tirtyl Tip program in partnership with Plastic Bank, the world’s largest plastic clean-up organisation with plastic collection infrastructure in developing coastal communities world-wide.
Our contributions are paid on behalf of Plastic Bank to locals who gather plastic in exchange for wages. Collected plastic is often processed and recirculated into the private sector as repurposed consumer goods.
You can find out more about our program, partners and future plans for our Tirtyl Tip program here.
In addition to donating a percentage of sales, all our products are carbon offset with Greenfleet Australia.
We use the life cycle assessment (LCA), cradle-to-grave methodology to calculate the CO2 demand from all elements of our products. Read more about our methodology here.
This includes:
Raw Material Extraction.
Manufacturing & Processing.
Transportation.
Usage & Retail.
Waste Disposal.
After taking into account the deduction through our office solar panels, we offset any remaining CO2 emissions through Greenfleet Australia.
Tirtyl is a social enterprise at heart. There are all sorts of social enterprises but they all have one thing in common. Where a typical business operates to make as much money as possible, a social enterprise operates to solve a social issue and/or serve its community members.
At Tirtyl, we are tackling plastic pollution and environmental degradation by making products that unwaste and donating profits to help solve these problems.
Surface cleaners, liquid hand washes and liquid laundry detergents often contain up to 95% water, which makes them bulky and heavy, contributing to greater emissions during transit. This also means you’re paying for the extra transport and excess packaging. That is why Tirtyl products are waterless.
Our light weight refills minimise both the volume and weight of our products as much as 98%, to significantly reduce carbon emissions during transit, as well as reduce single use plastic waste.
Our full ingredients list can be found here.
All ingredients are on the EPA Safer Chemical Ingredients List and none of the ingredients on the EWG Unacceptable List and Prop 65 Banned Ingredients List.
Yes, Tirtyl Hand Soaps are safe to use as part of your routine hand hygiene during the COVID19 pandemic.
We do not claim that our hand soaps kill germs (viruses and bacteria) as anti-bacterial hand soaps contain ingredients that are not yet proven to be safe. Many studies contest the usage of antibacterial soaps, including the FDA. Also check out our blog on the issue.
Instead, our hand soaps contain surfactants which actively lift and remove viruses and bacteria from your hands during a routine wash. Furthermore, the World Health Organization does not distinguish antibacterial from regular hand soaps with the latest guidance issued on managing the COVID19 pandemic.
Whilst we consider our hand soaps to be a safe addition to your home during the COVID19 pandemic (or otherwise), nothing replaces routine hand hygiene. Ensure to wash your hands regularly, and carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer on you if you need to wash your hands on-the-go outside home.
If you already have a foaming hand soap dispenser, we encourage you to re-use it! Just make sure it is in-fact a foaming dispenser as a regular soap dispenser will not work.

Water temperature is the key factor influencing dissolve time of the hand soap tablet.
Recommended: If using hot tap water (140°F or 60°C), it should take 10-20 minutes to dissolve.
If using cold tap water (70°F or 20°C), it may take 40 minutes to fully dissolve.
To accelerate dissolving, you may wish to stir the tablet with a spoon.
Please do not use boiling water or shake the dispenser as the tablet is dissolving, as this may build up pressure in the bottle resulting in a spill.
Our foaming hand soap is not antibacterial and for good reason. The FDA has advised that consumers avoid antibacterial soaps . Check out our blog on the issue.
Our hand soaps include effective surfactants to wash away germs, leaving your hands both clean and moisturized.
Our hand soaps have tested to be generally safe for people with sensitive-skin including eczema, in particular our fragrance-free hand soap.
In rare instances where skin irritation occurs, we advise you stop using the product. If you are known to have severe reactions to hand wash, we recommend excising caution when trying new soaps including ours.
For more information, refer to our full ingredients list here.
Yes. We use no ingredients sourced or derived from animals.
Our hand wash packaging is made from 100% recyclable or compostable materials.
Box Packaging: Cardboard paper (Recycle or compost)
Bottles: Glass (Recycle)
Foaming Pump: PP – Polypropylene (Recycle #5)
Storage Tin: Tinplate (Recycle)
Tablet Wrapper: Cardboard paper with PLA lining (Compost)
Tablet Wrappers: Our wrappers are 100% home compostable under the internationally recognised TÜV AUSTRIA standard, and can be disposed in home or community compost. If you don’t have access to these, the best alternative is to dispose in landfill, where they will eventually decompose completely. Whilst the wrapper is technically recyclable, it may contaminate recycled plastics doing more harm than good. Fortunately, the wrapper can be disposed to landfill without harming the earth.
Our tablets are designed to dissolve in regular tap water to form an effective, safe, long lasting solution. We have taken the best ingredients from a premium foaming hand soap, and concentrated them to exclude the water.
What does this mean for you? It’s simply really, just remember these 3 steps:
Fill 8.5fl oz (250ml) of warm tap water into your foaming dispenser. Do not use boiling water!
Drop in the Tirtyl Tab and let it dissolve. The magic show usually takes 15 minutes. Tip: If the water is too hot, it may be best to wait for the tablet to dissolve before screwing on the pump to avoid pressure build up and split foam.
Enjoy a moisturizing foaming lather! Pump twice onto wet hands for a thorough hand wash
P.S. Tirtyl Tabs work with all foaming hand soap dispensers. You can use our beautiful bespoke bottles or BYOB.
The research & development team performed extensive tests using a variety of tap water from the United States & Australia and found no issues. However, if you use bore water or do not trust your tap water, we recommend using your regular drinking water or boiling the tap water for 2 minutes, letting it cool slightly and then dissolving your tablet.
Not at all. Using cold water means the Tirtyl Tab might take more than 15 minutes to dissolve. Good things come to those who wait.
1 tablet lasts the average household 4 weeks with frequent use.
Each tablet creates 250ml of foaming hand soap and delivers up to 150 hand washes per tablet. That’s only 1.67c per hand wash!
