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.

I’ve been using Because You Care laundry products since I arrived to the UAE and I’m a happy customer. This is one of the “low-tox” brands I trust and happily use as there is no fragrance, preservative, enzyme added. So basically free from endocrine disrupters and harsh chemicals that can harm the skin.Posted on Sophie AnchanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I think they need to add a hit natural lavender essence oilPosted on Laure ChaoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been using Because you care powder for more than a year for my family laundry. I’m very happy with the product: - I am confident that I take care of my family’s health by choosing a laundry powder that has the least possible chemicals for a good effect on stains and that is delicate on fabrics - I reduce as well the amount of unnecessary surfactants, optical brighteners, enzymes etc that are drained in the sewage water and I reduce the unnecessary plastic packaging for a greener planet - I promote small local businesses in the UAE - I bring a smile on the business owner’s face, as she delivers an impeccable customer service on WhatsApp or email. What else could I ask more from a laundry powder?
