Are your products 100% natural?Updated 12 days ago
No. Greenleaf products are not 100% natural. We use a blend of natural and synthetic ingredients.
Why Not All Natural?
Please keep in mind that just because a product uses all natural materials does not mean that it is safer or contains fewer allergens. In fact, many natural ingredients can trigger sensitivities in certain individuals.
All of our fragrance ingredients adhere to strict safety standards set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), whether they're natural or synthetic.
The Benefits of Blending Natural and Synthetic
Safety isn't about "natural" labels: IFRA safety standards apply to all ingredients, ensuring that both natural and synthetic components meet rigorous safety requirements. Natural doesn't automatically mean safer.
Consistency: Natural ingredients can vary based on harvest, season, and growing conditions. Synthetic ingredients help us maintain consistent fragrance quality batch after batch.
Complexity: Some of our most beloved signature scents simply can't be created with natural ingredients alone. Synthetic components allow us to craft unique fragrances you won't find anywhere else.
Performance: The blend of natural and synthetic ingredients ensures optimal fragrance throw and performance in our products.
Sustainability: Some natural fragrance ingredients require unsustainable harvesting practices. Synthetic alternatives can be more environmentally responsible.
What Is Natural in Our Products
Soy in our wax blend: Plant-based ingredient
Cotton and paper wicks: Natural fibers
Vermiculite (in sachets): Naturally occurring mineral
Some fragrance components: Many of our scents include natural essential oils and extracts
What We Stand Behind
Instead of claiming "100% natural," we focus on what really matters:
- Paraben, Phthalate, and Formaldehyde Free
- IFRA safety standards for all fragrances (natural and synthetic)
- Extensive testing for quality and performance
- Lead-free and zinc-free wicks
- ASTM-tested glassware
- Signature fragrances created in-house at our Spartanburg, South Carolina facility
The Bottom Line
Greenleaf products aren't 100% natural, and we don't claim to be. We thoughtfully blend natural and synthetic ingredients to create safe, unique, high-performing fragrances that become part of life's moments.
Safety comes from meeting rigorous standards, not from a "natural" label. All our ingredients, whether natural or synthetic, adhere to strict IFRA safety standards.
