Our Ingredients

Transparency & Quality

We don't build products by selecting what's available-we design them from the ground up. Every ingredient is chosen for a reason: performance, material compatibility, and long-term impact. These ingredients form our formulation system, each component supporting the performance of the others depending on the product's function. They can all be read on every product label too.

Our Philosophy

We carefully formulate every product using organic ingredients and zero harsh chemicals, ensuring they are environmentally friendly, ethically made, biodegradable, and always deliver on their promise. The result is a system of formulations that clean effectively while respecting the products they're used on.

The Cleaners

Our Surfactants

Surfactants

At the core of any cleaning product is the surfactant - the ingredient that actually lifts dirt, oil and stains. Most mainstream products rely on highly aggressive sulfate systems such as SLS and SLES, commonly used in mainstream cleaning products. They're cheap, highly foaming, and aggressive - but that comes with trade-offs. We use mild, plant-derived alternatives.

Coco Glucoside
A mild, non-ionic surfactant derived from coconut oil and plant sugars. It provides effective cleansing while remaining gentle on fibres and skin-contact surfaces, making it ideal for everyday use across garments and home care.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
A mild amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil. It works alongside glucosides to improve foam, enhance rinse performance, and reduce overall irritation.
Lauryl Glucoside
A slightly stronger glucoside surfactant that enhances cleaning performance. Used in balance with milder systems, it improves the removal of heavier soils without compromising material integrity.
How Ingredients Are Delivered

Solvents & Carriers

Solvents & Carriers

We use plant-derived solvents and carriers to dissolve, stabilise, and evenly distribute active ingredients throughout the formulas. This ensures consistent performance, fast drying, and a clean finish without residue. Not all ingredients clean - some enable cleaning.

Plant-Derived Solvent System
A plant-derived solvent and carrier that helps dissolve fragrance and active ingredients. It enables fast drying and even distribution across surfaces without leaving residue.
Natural Solubiliser
A naturally derived solubiliser that helps disperse oils and fragrances evenly within water-based systems, improving clarity and stability.
Water (Aqua)
The primary carrier used across all formulations. It enables the safe dilution, delivery, and activation of ingredients.
How We Remove Smells, Not Mask Them

Odour Neutralisation

Odour Neutralisation

Odour isn't removed by fragrance - it's neutralised at a molecular level. We use bio-based odour neutralisers designed to capture and break down unwanted smells, rather than masking them.

Bio-Based Odour Neutraliser
A bio-based ingredient derived from renewable sugar sources. It binds to and neutralises odour molecules, eliminating smells at the source rather than covering them.
The Enhancers

Functional Performance Ingredients

Functional Performance Ingredients

These ingredients are what elevate performance beyond basic cleaning, enhancing how products interact with materials.

Fabric Relaxing Agent
A fabric-relaxing agent that reduces wrinkles by easing fibre tension, allowing garments to naturally release creases.
Fluorine-Free Water Repellent Polymer
A fluorine-free, biodegradable water-repellent polymer that helps protect materials from liquids while maintaining breathability.
Sea Salt
A naturally derived mineral used to support viscosity and stability within the formula. It helps enhance texture and can subtly boost the effectiveness of surfactant systems.
Vegetable Glycerin
A plant-derived humectant that helps retain moisture and prevent over-drying. It supports a balanced finish, keeping materials feeling conditioned rather than stripped.
Aloe Vera
A plant-derived extract known for its soothing and conditioning properties. It helps support material care by reducing dryness and leaving surfaces feeling softer after cleaning.
The Protectors

Preservation System

Preservation System

Water-based products require preservation to remain safe and stable over time. We use mild, globally accepted systems designed to prevent microbial growth without relying on harsher traditional preservatives.

Sodium Benzoate
A widely used preservative that inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi in water-based formulations.
Potassium Sorbate
Works alongside sodium benzoate to provide broad-spectrum protection while maintaining a gentle profile.
Benzyl Alcohol
A naturally occurring compound used as part of a mild preservation system and solvent.
The Balancers

Balancing & Stability

Balancing & Stability

Behind every clear, stable formula is a system of supporting ingredients that ensure consistency, performance, and shelf life.

Citric Acid
A naturally derived acid produced through fermentation of plant sugars, used to adjust and maintain pH levels for optimal stability and performance.
Xanthan Gum
A natural thickener used to control viscosity and improve product texture.
Acetic Acid
A naturally derived acid used to control pH, supporting formula stability, cleaning performance, and a clean rinse.
Sodium Gluconate
A plant-derived chelating agent that binds minerals in water, improving cleaning performance and preventing residue.
The Scent

Fragrance (Scent System)

Fragrance

Scent is not an afterthought - it's part of the formulation. We use essential oils and naturally derived aroma compounds to create layered, perfumery-inspired scents that integrate seamlessly into the product.

Essential Oil Blends
Combinations of plant-derived oils used to create scent profiles with depth and character.
Naturally Derived Aroma Compounds
Used to support and stabilise scent profiles while maintaining consistency and performance.
