No Harsh Chemicals
Our children and us have had extreme reactions to harsh chemicals in products. That’s why we decided to make products better – and share them!
Only the most researched, proven to be safe ingredients are allowed inside our products.
Just what you want. With nothing you don’t.
As we go about our daily routines, we often use household cleaners without giving them much thought. However, what many of us may not realize is that these cleaners can contain harmful ingredients that can negatively impact our health.
Many people will never know what is going into their cleaners because manufacturers are not required to list all ingredients on household products. This is why you should take caution and become aware of what these chemicals are, how they can harm you, and how to avoid them. By taking a closer look and becoming more mindful of what we bring into our homes, we can begin a journey towards eliminating potential health hazards from our lives and creating a safer and clean living space for ourselves and our loved ones.
How do these ingredients affect me?
There are various health effects caused by harmful ingredients found in everyday products that can pose a threat to both your physical and mental wellbeing.
Your respiratory system can be harmed because these chemicals can cause or trigger asthma. Some cleaners can also chemically burn your lungs during inhalation, and cause overall breathing difficulties.
Endocrine disrupters can cause multiple side effects such as birth defects, lower sperm count, infertility, disruption of your immune, hormonal and nervous system, and can increase the risk of cancer.
Cleaners containing harmful toxins can result in an increased risk of allergic reactions, such as rashes, sinus irritation, swelling, and hives.
These products can also cause harm to your eyes, skin, and organs through direct contact and consumption. This is especially worrisome for children as cleaners may get into their mouth through contact with their hands and feet.
What chemicals should I avoid?
There are three main health concerns associated with harmful household cleaners: Carcinogens, Allergens, and Endocrine Disruptors.
Carcinogens are cancer causing substances. They consist of things such as Ethoxylated Alcohols, Nonylphenol ethoxylate, Ethanolamine (DEA, MEA, TEA), Optical brighteners, SLES, VOC’s, and Formaldehyde.
Allergens can cause allergic reactions. Some examples are Cocamidopropyl Betaine, SLS, Phosphates, Artificial Dyes, Preservatives, Chlorine Bleach, and Parabens.
Endocrine Disruptors are substances that can disturb your hormones, nervous system, and immune system. Common endocrine disruptors are Sodium Borate, Optical Brighteners, Parabens, Phthalates, and VOC’s.
Why we do not use these harmful chemicals
Why we don’t use Phthalates
Phthalates are a family of industrial chemicals that are used in a variety of consumer products, such as toys, cosmetics, cleaning products, and food packaging. They are known to be endocrine disruptors, meaning they can interfere with the body’s hormone system
Why we don’t use Optical Brighteners
Optical brighteners are a type of chemical that reflects ultraviolet radiation as visible light, making items appear brighter and whiter. They are commonly used in laundry detergents, fabric softeners, and cleaning products. However, they can also be found in other products such as toothpaste, cosmetics, paper, and plastics. Some studies have suggested that they could be linked to skin and eye irritation, contact dermatitis, and even cancer.
Parabens are a group of preservatives most commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products. They are used to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and mold, extending the shelf life of products. Studies have linked parabens to hormone disruption, cell damage, and increased risk of breast cancer. You will never find parabens in products by us.
Petrochemicals are a group of chemicals derived from petroleum or natural gas. Commonly used in industrial manufacturing, petrochemicals find their way into many everyday household products, including cleaning items, cosmetics, and even food.
Petrochemicals are a major component of many household cleaning products. While these chemicals can be effective at removing dirt and grime, they can also pose a significant health risk.
Dyes are a common ingredient found in many cleaning products such as laundry detergents, dish soap, and other cleaning supplies. They are used to make products look more attractive and vibrant. However, some dyes can contain potentially hazardous chemicals, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and phthalates, which can cause a number of health problems such as skin irritation, respiratory issues, and even cancer.
Sulfates are a type of surfactant, or cleaning agent, commonly used in house hold cleaning products as a foaming and degreasing agent. They are made of sulfur-containing minerals, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, that create a soapy lather when combined with water. Sulfates can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and lungs and can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, and allergic reactions when used in high concentrations. In addition, sulfates can dry out the skin and hair, leading to further irritation and discomfort
Ammonia is a common ingredient in many household cleaning products, such as glass cleaners and oven cleaners. It is a powerful and effective cleaning agent, but can be dangerous to our health as it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes, and is toxic if inhaled in large amounts. We avoid the health risks associated with ammonia-based cleaning products and instead use natural, plant-based ingredients that are safer for both you and the environment. Our cleaning products are free from harsh chemicals and are non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe to use around children and pets.
