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
2-Butoxyethanol is a glycol ether solvent commonly used in conventional glass cleaners and multipurpose cleaners. It is a volatile organic compound with respiratory and exposure concerns. This page covers what it is, how it works, safety data, and why Natural Flower Power does not use it.
Not used — health & safety concerns
Chloroform is a suspected human carcinogen that historically saw direct use as a solvent and anesthetic. Today its primary household relevance is as a byproduct formed when chlorine-based disinfectants react with organic matter on surfaces and in drains. This page covers what chloroform is, where exposure happens in cleaning, regulatory classifications, and why Natural Flower Power's chlorine-free formulation choice eliminates the formation pathway.
Cold-pressed citrus oils are extracted by mechanically pressing orange and lemon peels, capturing hundreds of naturally occurring compounds. This guide explains how cold-pressed oils differ from isolated synthetic limonene, why the whole-peel composition matters, how the oils behave in cleaning products, and where Natural Flower Power uses real cold-pressed citrus oils.
Petroleum-based solvents are carbon compounds refined from crude oil and used to dissolve grease, thin formulas, and carry other ingredients. This hub covers the ones most relevant to household cleaning — 2-butoxyethanol, toluene, chloroform, and mineral oil — what the safety and regulatory record shows for each, and why Natural Flower Power builds its cleaners without petroleum solvents.
Not used — health & safety concerns
Propylene glycol is a synthetic humectant and solvent widely used in personal care, cleaning products, food, and pharmaceuticals. While generally regarded as safe by the FDA, it is a documented contact allergen and not the best fit for plant-derived formulations. This page covers what propylene glycol is, where it appears, the dermatological sensitization data, and why Natural Flower Power uses vegetable glycerine instead.
Not used — health & safety concerns
Toluene is a petroleum-derived aromatic solvent used in nail polishes, some industrial cleaners, and coatings. It is neurotoxic at high exposure levels and classified as a reproductive toxicant. This page covers what it is, safety data, and why Natural Flower Power does not use it.
