The science
Leo is a high-performance detergent for high-performance lives. Everyday life leaves two common kinds of soil in your clothes: fats and oils from sweat and food, and starches from meals. We pair two enzymes, lipase and amylase, with a concentrated, low-sudsing cleaning system built to rinse out. Here's what each piece does, and why we chose it.
Lipase is an enzyme that breaks fats and oils into smaller pieces. Sweat carries body oils into your fabric and food adds more, and oils can hold on where water alone won't reach. We built Leo around lipase so those oils are broken down and can rinse away with the rest of the wash. It matters most if you sweat in your clothes.
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starches into smaller pieces. Pasta, rice, bread, and sauces leave starchy soils that can cling to fabric. We included amylase so that kind of residue is broken down and can rinse out too. It's the piece that handles what a lunch leaves behind.
Real soils are rarely just one thing: a plate of pasta with olive oil, or a shirt that's seen a workout and a lunch. Enzymes are specialists, so each one targets only its own kind of soil. Pairing lipase and amylase means Leo goes after fats and starches in the same wash, while the cleaning agents carry what's loosened off in the wash water. That's what we mean by a performance detergent: every part has a job.
Suds look like cleaning, but the amount of foam isn't a measure of how well a detergent works. In high-efficiency washers, excess suds can keep soils from rinsing out. Leo is low-sudsing and concentrated, so a small measured dose is built to clean and rinse out. One small bottle covers 40+ washes.
