Ingredient Properties

Alcohol

Alcohol sanitizes surfaces, and aids in quick evaporation (especially useful in our CLEAR Glass Cleaner and our FRESH Spray.) We use 70% or 99% Isopropyl Alcohol infused with lavender and vanilla to soften the scent and leave a fresh fragrance.

Aloe

Used for centuries in many traditional medicines worldwide, aloe is moisturizing and soothing for skin. It contains many vitamins such as A, C, and E, and has antimicrobial properties. We extract our aloe juice from whole leaves to ensure maximum freshness.

Arrowroot Powder

A natural alternative to talc, arrowroot powder helps absorb excess oil or sweat, and smooths skin tone without irritation. In our deodorants, it also acts as a thickener and helps moisturizers absorb into the skin.

Beeswax

Beeswax forms a protective barrier, shielding the skin from environmental irritants and dry weather, and locking in moisturizing ingredients. It won’t block pores, allowing the skin to breathe freely and making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Borax

Also known as Sodium Tetraborate, Borax has long been known for its disinfecting and deodorizing properties. It’s also alkaline and softens water, which makes cleaning more effective.

Castile Soap

Handmade from a blend of coconut oil, olive oil, lye, and distilled water, Castile Soap is a powerful, biodegradable and non-toxic cleanser that is gentle on even the most sensitive skin.

Coconut Extract

Derived from the meat of the coconut (and different from coconut oil), coconut extract is rich in essential vitamins like potassium and the B vitamins. It is highly moisturizing and leaves skin with a radiant glow.

Coconut Oil

Highly moisturizing and filled with vitamins and minerals, coconut oil helps keep skin hydrated, supple, and radiant. We often infuse our coconut oil with vanilla for a long-lasting sweet and summery scent.

Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomaceous Earth blocks and eliminates odor, making it a great addition to our natural deodorants. Its high silica content wicks away moisture, and it is safe to use on even the most sensitive skin.

Distilled Water

Pure water is essential when used in home and body-care products. We use distilled water to ensure there are no impurities to affect the balance of our other ingredients.

Epsom Salts

Also known as Magnesium Sulphate, epsom salt doesn’t actually have any relation to table salt. It dissolves in water for a soothing bath and provides a great base for the fragrance of our essential oils.

Honey

Cherished as far back as ancient Egyptian times, honey boasts natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. We love its ability to deeply moisturize, and how it gives skin a fresh and youthful glow.

Olive Oil

We always use organic extra-virgin olive oil, and we often infuse it with vanilla or lavender essential oil for a rich and lasting fragrance. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, olive oil is deeply hydrating and leaves skin feeling supple and radiant.

Pineapple Extract

Rich in vitamins and minerals, pineapple extract is moisturizing and naturally exfoliating, with antioxidant properties. Bromelain and vitamin C soothe skin, unleashing your natural glow.

Vinegar

Vinegar disinfects, evaporates quickly, and acts as a powerful anti-static. We use distilled vinegar as a base, and infuse it with lavender and vanilla to soften the scent and leave a lasting, clean freshness.

Vitamin E

A powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E is also highly moisturizing, leaving dry skin feeling fresh, supple, and rejuvenated.

Washing Soda

Also known as Sodium Carbonate, washing soda is a natural cleaning agent and excellent degreaser. It is highly alkaline and softens water, making cleaning more effective overall.

Witch Hazel

An astringent with anti-inflammatory properties, witch hazel soothes and moisturizes skin. Gentle enough for the face and other sensitive areas, it effectively removes buildup leaving a fresh and clean feeling.
