The Ariel PODs® film is made with a water-soluble film, which is made using Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVOH or PVA) – a well-known and safe material used for over 20 years in a range of everyday items. It is also approved for usage in food, medicine, cosmetics and lots of household products.
The Ariel PODs® film completely dissolves when used, is safe for the environment and does not contribute to microplastic pollution, as per the EU Synthetic Polymeric Microparticles Regulation. Smart technology is used to ensure the film remains strong when dry (helping you safely store the detergent until your next wash) but rapidly dissolves during your wash.
