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.
Ethanolamines are a family of amino-alcohol compounds — monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and triethanolamine (TEA) — used as pH adjusters, surfactants, and emulsifiers, along with fatty derivatives like cocamide DEA and MEA. This hub explains what unites the family, how nitrosamine formation and Proposition 65 shape their regulation, and why Natural Flower Power formulates without any of them.
Not used — health & safety concerns
Monoethanolamine (MEA) is the smallest member of the ethanolamine family — alongside DEA and TEA — used in cleaning and personal care products as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, and surfactant builder. It is a documented respiratory and skin irritant. This page covers what MEA is, how it differs from DEA and TEA, regulatory considerations, and why Natural Flower Power excludes the entire ethanolamine class.
