Laundry detergents with lipase and DNase in Switzerland

Lipase breaks down oils and body fat. DNase loosens the residue that lets smells come back in gym clothes and towels. Few detergents have both, and the same brand can have a different formula in each country. This page lists only what the maker publishes for the Swiss version.

Checked on 13 November 2026.

Short answer

  • Ariel Color+ powder has lipase and DNase and no bleach or optical brightener, so it is safe for colours and darks. Migros sells 23 washes for CHF 15.95, about CHF 0.69 a wash.
  • Ariel Universal+ powder has both too, plus oxygen bleach and brightener: for whites and light colours. Same price at Migros.
  • You do not need to order the German version: the Swiss Color+ powder has the same two enzymes.
  • Ariel Professional powder is cheaper per wash on Amazon.de, which sells it to Switzerland through other sellers (110 washes for CHF 34.32 plus CHF 20.84 delivery, about CHF 0.50 a wash before any import VAT, read on 13 November 2026). But P&G's Swiss lists show lipase and no DNase in every Ariel Professional powder.

Why these two enzymes

  • Lipase digests fats: skin oil, body lotion, cooking grease. Without it, a thin film stays in the fabric and holds smells.
  • DNase breaks down the sticky DNA that bacteria and skin cells leave behind. That layer is why some clothes smell again as soon as they get warm.
  • Powders keep enzymes stable better than liquids. Ariel's Swiss liquids are not on this list for that reason: check their own lists before you buy.

What is not on this page yet

Persil, Total, Lenor powder and the store brands of Migros, Coop, Lidl, Aldi and Denner. The pack itself only says “enzymes”, without naming them, and none of these makers publishes a full list for the Swiss version. We have asked Migros and Coop for theirs and add each product as soon as we have a list. Until then we leave them out rather than guess.

Check a pack yourself

  • Open info-pg.com, choose Schweiz, the brand and the product form.
  • Lipase is listed as Lipase. DNase is listed as Phosphodiesterase.
  • Oxygen bleach is Sodium Carbonate Peroxide or Sodium Percarbonate; leave those for whites if your colours fade.
