Tnx. Interesting from the web-site:
There is a small amount of powder mixed with :
The ecoegg Laundry Egg is a unique and innovative laundry washing system that cleans clothes effectively, using two types of mineral pellets plus a small amount of detergent, encased in a recyclable egg. (? which detergent and what is the white mineral pellet? )
Tourmaline (/ˈtʊərməlɪn, -ˌlin/ TOOR-mə-lin, -leen) is a crystalline boron silicate mineral compounded with elements such as aluminium, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium, or potassium. This gemstone can be found in a wide variety of colors.
(and another mineral which isn't obvious on the website 
)
What are the benefits of the Tourmaline Pellets?
The black tourmaline pellets weaken the adhesive force between the dirt and fabric whilst the white mineral pellets naturally ionize the oxygen molecules in the water, which helps to lift away dirt without fading colours. The pellets also change the pH of the water, which helps to naturally soften your laundry.
These two pellets have been scientifically tested to work together to give optimum cleaning results removing the need for both laundry detergent and fabric softenerI suspect that it agitates laundry as our ancestors did when rubbing linens on a stone in the rivers or much later when women used a wash board - used by bands in the 1950s/60s. I wonder how much energy it takes to prepare the Tourmaline into pellets?
