From P & G Japan's clothing detergent brand "Ariel", "Ariel Gelball 4D" equipped with a "carbonic acid function" that activates the function of cleaning ingredients has appeared. It will be sold nationwide from the end of September.

Ariel Gelball 4D

Gelball was introduced to the market in 2014 as the third detergent after powder and liquid detergents. In 2017, "Gelball 3D", a three-layer three-dimensional structure that maximizes the effect by confining the ingredients of the detergent separately to maintain the "freshness" of the ingredients and mixing them at the moment of washing, was released. It has the convenience and high cleaning power of just picking one grain with your fingers and putting it in the washing machine.

The "Gelball 4D" to be released this time is a significantly renewed product. A new 4-layer structure has been adopted, and a "carbonic acid function" that activates the function of cleaning ingredients has been installed. It is said that it is possible to thoroughly clean "deposited stains" that have penetrated deep into clothes due to its "cleansing power". In response to consumer needs for neat storage of gel balls, we have also implemented a large-scale renewal of the main body package for the first time since its launch in 2014. It has been changed to a slim package.

Carbonation function of "Ariel Gelball 4D"

Inspired by "baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate)", it is possible to activate the action of the surfactant, which is a cleaning component, in the same way as the mechanism of baking soda. A new booster component that efficiently directs surfactants to stains has been added, and the amount of "chelating agent" that removes impurities such as metal ions that prevent stain removal has been increased. The cleaning ingredients of gel ball, which is an ultra-concentrated detergent, have been further increased to enhance the cleaning power. Contains no carbonic acid.
