To save money or time, do it yourself!  There are many online recipes for laundry powder and gel using bar soaps, and various amounts of borax, washing soda, and baking soda.

Here are the pre-packaged products I found:

Cal Ben Seafoam Laundry Soap
http://www.calbenpuresoap.com/seafoam-laundry-soap.php

More complicated list of ingredients than most of these, plus sprayed with citrus oil, but it’s essentially soap-based.  I have used this product successfully.

Dri-Pak Soap Flakes

Pure soap flakes may work better if combined with baking soda, washing soda, and borax, per many recipes on the web

Dr. Bronner’s
32-oz Dr. Bronner’s Baby Mild liquid on Amazon
For many people, the only easy soap to access is Dr. Bronners.  Unscented Baby Mild as probably the best place to start.  Combine with baking soda, borax, and washing soda for better efficacy in laundry.

************************************************************************
 

Savon de Marseille Soap Flakes
Marius Fabre Marseille soap flakes on Amazon
Traditional soap flakes.  Can be combined with washing soda and borax, especially in hard water.  (It may pay to shop around, these are expensive.  Their liquid soaps use minimal ingredients and pure olive oil, and are also an option combined with washing soda and borax.)

Pure Soapworks Liquid Laundry Soap or Laundry Powder (Canada)
http://www.puresoapworks.com/specialtysoaps.htm 
This company seems to carry a full line of soap products.

************************************************************************

Zote Laundry Soap Flakes

Pack of 8 (17.63oz) Zote laundry soap flakes on Amazon
Still the most popular laundry product in Mexico.  (From animal tallow.  Also contains fragrance and optical brighteners.  Despite it being soap, users must take care if allergy to fragrance or optical brighteners might be an issue.)

************************************************************************

Grandma’s Laundry Soap

Grandma’s laundry soap on Amazon
http://grandmaspureandnatural.com/laundry

A lard-based soap flake product, so, not vegetarian.  This appears not to have any dyes or unnecessary ingredients.  This company also sells a soap-based stain remover stick and bar soaps.  They seem to understand the difference between soap and detergent per the site.

Ma’Bella Laundry Powder 

This is a simple mix of the wonderful Ma’Bella soap with washing soda and borax.  Some of my European site users have expressed concerns about borax, so I feel I should mention that.
