Our mission is simple: a cleaner and brighter world. We make detergents and cleaning products using the best natural ingredients, like the Sapindus mukorossi fruit. You know, those foaming supershells! Together, we always try to find the best balance between your washing and cleaning experience as a fan, and the positive impact that we realise with our products.
We innovate and lead the way in the use of renewable raw materials. More than 99% of our ingredients are of natural origin. This is important, because the use of fossil raw materials is finite.

We strive to achieve a positive impact on all those involved in the Seepje chain. We are a member of the World Fair Trade Organization, and with it the first Fair Trade washing and cleaning brand in Europe! Exceptional? As far as we are concerned, it should be the most normal thing in the world to take account of the impact a product has on other people.
The soap from the Sapindus mukorossi shell is what gives our Seepjes their unique cleaning power! This grows in abundance in the Himalayas! In 2019 we bought more than 4 million shells for a fair price. But we can still do much better! We are currently working on:
Seepje costs less energy to make and less energy is needed to filter the wastewater. Plus, we compensate for our transport from India and Nepal in collaboration with The GoodShipping Program.

We choose our packaging materials consciously and keep our impact on the environment as low as possible. In 2019 we saved 39,864 kilos of plastic. That’s the equivalent of more than a million plastic bags!
The positive impact we pursue originates in the core of our products and that is where we measure our success. We would like you to join us in our mission! Together we can make the world a cleaner and brighter place!
As 21-year old students Melvin and Jasper eagerly watched a documentary that showed how a Nepalese woman used a natural form of soap. They wondered: why do we use synthetic and oil based products, when a natural alternative is available?
Currently, we have a team of 15 and from our Headquarters in The Hague we aspire to have a positive impact with over 18 different Seepjes. Our products are available in more than 4.500 stores in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany!
