About Because You Care:
Eco-Friendly Laundry Care in the UAE

At the heart of Because You Care is me, Olivia: an entrepreneur and mother deeply committed to health, environmental impact, and transparency in everyday products.

My journey began when I sought to find more meaning in my daily work. I wanted to respond to a growing need in the UAE for solutions that care for the planet and the health of our loved ones. Concerned by the presence of endocrine disruptors in conventional household detergents, I decided to create a safer alternative for families.

Today, I invest all my energy into raising awareness about the changes we can make to better protect our planet. With Because You Care, your requirement for a safe, natural, and highly effective washing detergent is finally met. You get to care for your skin, respect the environment, and support a local, sustainability-driven start-up.

A Return to Basics: Our Ingredient Philosophy

Marseille Soap

We believe in trusting what has worked for generations. Instead of complex synthetic formulas, our foundation is genuine Marseille Soap. Rooted in traditional French heritage, this simple blend of olive oil naturally cleanses without irritating sensitive skin or leaving behind toxic residue.

Bicarbonate

Nature often provides the safest solutions. By utilizing naturally occurring bicarbonate sourced from salt lakes, we neutralize odors the way families used to completely bypassing the artificial, endocrine-disrupting fragrances found in commercial detergents.

Washing Soda

A core part of our mission is proving that eco-friendly doesn’t mean less effective. We rely on washing soda (a simple, naturally occurring compound of salt and chalk) to act as a powerful degreaser, proving you don’t need harsh chemicals to lift stubborn stains.
