what are the ingredients?

Phosphates are extremely harmful to bodies of water and are banned in laundry detergent in many states -- approved only for special use detergents that are used in limited settings. For more info read about "nutrient pollution" and its affect on water quality in Sciencing or elsewhere. It makes algae grow fast and take over. That changes the whole chemistry of the water. We have an entire lake dead nearby. People can't even go boating on top of the water because of phosphate runoff from laundry and lawn fertilizer from summer homes on the lake. That's led to a situation where neurotoxins are released from dying algae after it overruns everything and blocks other life forms. People get bad headaches if they try to head out for some summer fun. The process is called eutrophication.

Cloth diapering in very hard water area. Been using Calgon and Charlie's detergent. What would make Charlie's booster better than Calgon?

After severe burns with my last cloth diapered twin babies, I no longer use Charlie's detergent. I feel the booster is top notch though. And, I have 15 grain, 250+ hardness, 9.5 ph well water. Calgon is not enough of a water softener for our water.

does it work in dishwashers

Funny that you ask that. It doesn't say anything on the container about using it in the dishwasher, but we have horrendously hard water, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. I did notice that it helps to remove mineral deposits from the dishwasher. I also noticed that I had less spotting on my glassware. I also use a liquid product like Jet Dry that's supposed to prevent spotting, but the Charlie's product seems to beef up the performance of the Jet Dry or Cascade Rinse Aid. I use the measuring spoon that comes in the package.

This product is causing pilling on my fabrics. Anyone experience this? Is there a fix?

I have not experienced that. Not sure why "pilling" would be caused by the Booster. It is very water soluble. Usually cloth "pilling" is caused by fabric rubbing against fabric. Our water is classified as moderately hard. I have stopped using the Booster, even though our water is moderately hard. The screens for the water pump in my washer became clogged up with a white colored precipitate. The precipitate was so massive, and hard, I had to replace the complete pump & housing. I had never experienced that until I started using the Booster. I took the approach that the apparent control in that incident was my use of the Booster. I stopped using the booster three months ago. Checked the pump housing about a week ago. No precipitate was observed.
