I went a-googling and found: Cheer brand detergent contains: Fragrance(s)/perfume(s), Color protection/processing agent, Color safe oxygen bleach (sodium perborate and bleach activator),Sodium sulfate anhydrous,Cleaning agent(s),Colorant/Pigment/Dye(s),Fabric whitening agent(s),Sodium silicates (unspecified), Soil suspending agent(s), Water softeners (complex sodium phosphates/sodium carbonate)
