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.

Citric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid found in citrus fruits and produced commercially by microbial fermentation. In cleaning and personal care products, it adjusts pH, enhances preservative effectiveness, and provides mild chelating action. This page covers its function, safety, and role in Natural Flower Power products.
Not used — health & safety concerns
Diethanolamine (DEA) is an organic compound used as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, and foam booster in some cleaning products and personal care items. It has documented safety concerns related to nitrosamine contamination. This page covers what it is, how it works, its safety profile, and why Natural Flower Power does not use it.
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.
Not used — health & safety concerns
Triethanolamine (TEA) is an organic compound used as a pH adjuster, emulsifier, and surfactant in cleaning products and cosmetics. It carries nitrosamine contamination concerns similar to diethanolamine. This page covers what it is, how it works, its safety profile, and why Natural Flower Power does not use it.
