LIQUID SOAP FOR
HAND WASHING DISHES


Three things set the tone when you reach for a 'natural' cleaning product 
COLOUR & IMAGERY ​We tend to navigate towards the colour green and images of plants, animals and babies. Green represents nature while images of nature and babies creates a feeling of being safe.  COMPANY RECOGNITION Once the colour or image has our attention, we then find comfort in a company we recognize, not realizing that recognition comes in the form of marketing of a product whether it be purchased shelf placement in a store, social media of a company that you grew up with.  'FEEL GOOD' WORDS The words on the label screaming to you the product is natural, safe for you and your loved ones and great for the environment is what makes you pick up that product and take it home.

​I have taken the most popular products on the market (and ones suggested to me by clients) and researched the ingredients to help you make the right decision for your needs.  I am, in no way implying these products are bad for you, just creating awareness so that when you leave the store with a product in hand, you do so with confidence.

Following the standards of the non-profit organization NPA, ingredients found to be
not an accepted natural ingredient are orange highlighted
vague or known synthetic ingredients are red highlight
accepted natural ingredients are green highlight


SOMETHING OF IMPORTANCE - the​ list of ingredients goes from highest content of an ingredient to lowest.  So if you are seeing RED in the top 3 to 5 listed ingredients you should be concerned and possibly not purchase that product.  The best way to affect change in the way companies sell to us is to hit them where it hurts....their profit.  When a company sees a decline in sales, they will begin to question the why and the how and hopefully start the process of positive change.

Our list is to help you make the decision that is right for you and your loved ones.  We are showcasing the most popular products to inform and help you understand what is in the products you use.  if you don't see your product here, please let us know and we will do the research for you and include it on this page.  Our community is about sharing and not shaming.  We have clients who use household products that have synthetic ingredients alongside the natural ones because it is their comfort zone and it is what works for them but they know what they are using and how to properly use to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.

​ 
​​"Through your helping us to understand YOUR view, you have changed the thought patterns and habits of many of us.  You do not tell us we should be ashamed, that we have to change....you have had a very significant impact on others."  John Knecht Field Manager C&J Cleaning MIchigan, U.S.A.​
