In short, a synthetic ingredient doesn’t mean “toxic.” Sometimes it actually means a cleaner, safer, and more reliable ingredient.
At Truly Free Home, every ingredient in our cleaning products goes through rigorous vetting and testing before it ever touches your home. We review the latest science, ensure safety for sensitive groups like children and pets, and then test again once the product is formulated.
It’s also worth noting that the safety of some synthetic and natural ingredients depends on how they are used in specific formulations—and in what quantities.
For example, we use lavandin grosso essential oil, also known as Lavandula hybrida, in the Signature Scent of Truly Free Home Laundry Wash. When used in high concentrations, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) considers this essential oil a potential allergy concern. That’s why our formulas only use a tiny, safe amount—just enough to deliver the scent. They’re also meticulously tested to ensure they won’t disrupt your home’s air quality or irritate your family’s skin.
Our commitment is steadfast and simple: if it’s not safe for your family, it won’t make it into our cleaning products. Period.
At the end of the day, the real risk of any ingredient depends on dose, exposure, and contaminants—not whether the ingredient is natural or synthetic.
Because the source doesn’t automatically make a compound safe or unsafe, it’s all about how thoughtfully it’s created and used.
At Truly Free Home, our mission is to help families create clean, safe, and healthy homes with products you can trust—because transparency isn’t just a value, it’s a promise.
