We know that ingredient names, even all-natural ones, can sound scary. Since most of us are not cosmetic chemists like my father, here’s a glossary of our ingredients, including their function, where they are sourced, and what EWG Ratings they carry (when applicable).

Coco-Glucoside: A gentle surfactant made from 100% natural, certified RSPO (Responsibly Sourced Palm Oil) with excellent dermatological properties and well foams. We use it as a co-surfactant in cleansing preparations. It is often used in baby washes because it is so mild. Our coco-glucoside is sustainably sourced and produced in Wisconsin, USA. (EWG=1)

Sodium Laurylglucosides Hydroxypropylsulfonate: An extremely gentle surfactant 100% naturally derived from sustainable coconut and corn and 100% biodegradable. We selected this gentle cleanser because it is extremely mild (zero reported irritation!) and provides exceptional lather. Made in Tennessee, USA. (EWG=1)

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate: An extremely gentle surfactant that is made from 100% natural RSPO (Responsibly Sourced Palm Oil) (EWG=1)

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine: A 100% natural surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids and made in the USA. An exceptional, stable, rich foam can be achieved using coconut fatty acids as a starting material. (EWG=1)

Sodium Olivate: Created by 100% naturally sourced saponified olive oil used as a surfactant. It also has an amazing velvety skin feel, since olive oil is so close to the composition of human skin. (EWG=1)

Caprylhydroxamic Acid and Glyceryl Caprylate: This blend is made from 100% vegetable sources from our supplier in Pennsylvania, USA. Combining these two ingredients helps to protect the formulation from developing bacteria, yeast, and mold. (EWG=1)

Gluconolactone and Sodium Benzoate: Naturally derived from Gluconic Acid, the combination of Gluconolactone and Sodium Benzoate offers broad-spectrum microbial protection in our formulations. (EWG=1-3)

Fragrance: This “coconutty” scent is formulated using only all-natural, EWG-1 rated ingredients. (see Ingredients)
