We believe ingredient transparency should be simple, specific, and honest. Every ingredient we use is disclosed clearly, along with why it’s there and what it does. Just as important, we’re open about what we don’t use and why. No vague claims, no hidden blends, no marketing shortcuts. This index is a straightforward reference to help you understand the materials behind our products and the standards we hold ourselves to.
Not used — health & safety concerns
Cocamide DEA (cocamide diethanolamine) is a coconut-derived surfactant and foam booster historically used in shampoos, dish soaps, and bubble baths. It was added to the California Proposition 65 carcinogens list in 2012. This page covers what cocamide DEA is, the regulatory action that drove industry reformulation, and why Natural Flower Power uses cocamide DIPA — a related compound with a different safety profile — instead.
Cocamide MEA is a nonionic surfactant made by condensing coconut-derived fatty acids with monoethanolamine. It mainly boosts and stabilizes foam and thickens liquid cleansers, working alongside primary surfactants rather than as the main cleanser. It belongs to the ethanolamide family with cocamide DEA and cocamide DIPA. This page covers what it is, how it works, and why we do not use it.
