INGRÉDIENTS’

Heading H2

Avec #RightToKnow, nous affirmons que vous avez le droit de savoir ce que contiennent les produits que vous utilisez à la maison et sur votre corps.

C’est pourquoi nous nous associons à des marques, partenaires et organisations qui partagent nos idéaux en prônant la divulgation des ingrédients dans le secteur des nettoyants et au-delà. Les secrets industriels sont choses du passé — nous sommes tournés vers l’avenir et il est temps de montrer patte blanche avec #ComeClean.

Glossaire des termes

Il arrive qu'une huile végétale soit légèrement modifiée avec du carbone provenant d’autres sources pour en améliorer les performances. Lorsque le carbone contenu dans l'huile végétale modifiée provient à plus de 50 % de la plante, Seventh Generation le désigne comme un ingrédient à base de plantes. Le carbone restant peut être un dérivé de pétrole.

Certains ingrédients tiennent exclusivement leur carbone des plantes, mais leur état naturel a été modifié aux fins d'un rendement fonctionnel. Seventh Generation fait référence à de tels ingrédients en tant que dérivés de plantes.

De nombreux ingrédients se trouvent sous forme de minéraux dans la nature. Si un minerai a été transformé en ingrédient, l'étiquette le mentionne comme étant minéral.

Lorsqu'un ingrédient contient 50 % ou plus de carbone provenant d’une autre source que les plantes, Seventh Generation l'identifie en tant que plante modifiée synthétique.

Certaines formules ont besoin d'un agent ou d'un système de conservation empêchant la prolifération de micro-organismes susceptibles d'avarier les produits. Nous n'avons pas encore trouvé de système de préservation efficace dérivé des plantes, qui soit compatible avec nos produits. C'est pourquoi nous croyons que notre agent de conservation synthétique représente le meilleur choix à l'heure actuelle. Toutefois, nous cherchons assidument un système de conservation entièrement dérivé des plantes.

Finalement, si le carbone contenu dans un ingrédient provient exclusivement du pétrole ou du gaz naturel, l’ingrédient est dit synthétique.
