Following is a list of some ingredients contained in Ishy Fishy™ Soap Dope™. Due to the fact that the formula for this product is proprietary we cannot be terribly specific with percentages and concentrations of the ingredients. However, the information below will show that we are very aware of the environment. Not only is Ishy Fishy™ Soap Dope™ environmentally friendly, but it is also 100% biodegradable!

• Sodium Tripolyphosphate – A very mild natural detergent used for cleaning heavy grease and oils.

• Trisodium Phosphate – Oftentimes referred to as "TSP". This, too, is a mild detergent used for the removal of odors and residues. You may recognize the term "TSP" as a cleaning compound sold in home centers for use in painting preparation.

• Wood Flour – This product is just as it seems. It is finely ground sawdust from fir trees in the logging industry. It is all natural and is used in this formulation as a thickener designed to keep the compound evenly mixed in suspension.

• Pine Tar – Again, a simple product. It, too, is exactly what it says it is – concentrated sap from pine trees. This is the same product professional baseball players used for "grip" on their bats. It works well as a gripping agent because it is attracted to the carbon in the skin. However, in the Soap Dope™ Formula, it is used (in small amounts) to attract carbon-based stains and odors off of the skin. Soils such as soot and pitch cling well to the Pine Tar and are easily removed from the skin.

• Non-Ionic Surfactant – These products are used to lower the surface tension of water which allows less water to clean more. In essence, surfactants make water wetter. Further, there are many types of surfactant. Non-Ionic surfactants, such as is contained in the Soap Dope™, are incredibly gentle and biodegradable.

• Kelp Pellets – Long known for its conditioning properties, natural sea kelp is used in the product as an emollient and conditioner.

• Soap Pellets-Power Perk – This ingredient is tallow soap powder. Tallow has been the base of traditional soaps for hundreds of years.

• Pumice – Again, a common ingredient in hand cleaners. This is a powder that is finely ground from the pumice stone, commonly found in volcanic areas of the world. The pumice used in Soap Dope is an extremely high-quality grade and is quite fine in texture so it does not feel as "rough" as other products on the market. One major difference, however, is that other products on the market use pumice as an abrasive to "scrub off" the soils on the skin. The Soap Dope™ formula, on the other hand, uses the pumice to provide the tallow in the formula a surface to stick to while cleaning. In effect, the pumice, wrapped in the tallow, function as "little pods of cleaning power."
