Natural Grocers® Expands Research-Based Standards for Household Cleaning Products
BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF TRUST
Natural Grocers
first introduced its household cleaning standards in 2016, offering carefully curated alternatives to conventional products. The company's latest updates reflect growing scientific understanding about the impact that certain common ingredients can have on indoor air quality, ecosystems, and overall well-being.
With this update, the list of prohibited ingredients in household cleaning products now includes more than 100 ingredients. In addition to previously excluded substances like phosphates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic colors, and chlorine, the new standards ban:
- Formaldehyde donors
- Phthalates
- Parabens
- Ethanolamines
- Glycol ethers
- Quaternary ammonium compounds
FULL INGREDIENT DISCLOSURE—BECAUSE TRANSPARENCY MATTERS
Unlike federal regulations, which do not require full ingredient disclosure for household cleaning products, Natural Grocers requires every brand it sells to provide a complete ingredient list on packaging. While limited exceptions are made for proprietary fragrance and enzyme blends, these components must still comply with
Natural Grocers' rigorous safety and environmental standards
.
"We've always believed that cleaning your home shouldn't come at the expense of your health—or the environment," said
MORE THAN CLEAN—PRIORITIZING PLANET-FRIENDLY PACKAGING, TOO
Natural Grocers seeks products that are ethically sourced, sustainably produced, and innovatively effective. The company also prioritizes sustainably minded packaging. This includes recycled, biodegradable, or plant-derived materials. For example, Natural Grocers Brand® Household Cleaning Products use sugar cane-based or 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, while other leading options use recyclable paper and steel containers.
