​There are ingredients found in some 'natural' and eco-friendly products that you will never find in Just Another Natural Nut products.   The most popular 'should not contain' ingredient you will find on many 'natural' products is 'fragrance' and that is scary for so many reasons. The number one reason is that a company can hide other not so good ingredients that actually have nothing to do with creating that scent under that one word and not share it with you, the consumer

​I am a proud supporter of Canadian small businesses and only purchase my ingredients and packaging from them.  Some create the ingredients I use, some are distributors.  Obviously coconuts are not from Canada so this ingredient is coming from outside of the country but the distributor of the coconut oil is a family run business in Ontario and they supply H.O.P.E. Eco Store (a family run store located just outside of Aylmer ON) where I purchase my coconut oil.

I think it is extremely important you are aware of the origins of the ingredients in the products you use and if I am going to ask you to support local small businesses shouldn't I be doing the same?

HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

I purchase the 35% food grade because it is the only hydrogen peroxide that carries and expiry date and when diluted to create the 3% (I never use more than the 3% dilution for safety reasons) it is still a far more superior product than the hydrogen peroxide you purchase at the  grocer or drugstore shelf.

40 Creek Distillery
Grimsby ON

I only use one brand from a local distillery which represents many things I believe in, Prince Igor from 40 Creek Distillery in Grimsby Ontario (by the way, they are known for their rye but equally they should be commended for the coffee liqueur and their irish cream (first ingredient is cream ...how awesome is that). 

You will only find vodka in Just Another Natural Nut cleaning and household products.  Introduced into my cleaning business in 2010 because of it's ability to break through quickly when the hydrogen peroxide, on its own, struggled ...... hair spray and flying toothpaste .... and its known abilities of disinfecting surfaces makes it a great complimentary ingredient in Just Another Natural Nut cleaning and household products.  
ESSENTIAL OILS
certified organic
sustainably sourced
purchased at New Directions Aromatics
I purchase my essential from a company who is transparent!  Every essential oil has a paper trail that aligns with the batch being sold.  

I only use sustainable essential oils.  For example, I use cinnamon leaf instead of the bark as tearing away the bark from a tree to create an essential oil is not sustainable.  I only use essential oils that are safe for me to be around.  I have an allergic issue with lemongrass in a potent form such as an essential oil and any EO from the coniferous family (I learned the hard way)
