the Nasty Nine: ingredients we leave out - for good
Many everyday products, whether for cleaning your counters or refreshing your face, still contain harmful ingredients that can irritate, pollute, or disrupt your body’s natural balance. We call them the Nasty Nine, and we’re on a mission to make them a thing of the past:
quats
found in disinfectants and fabric softeners; linked to asthma and hormone disruption
fragrance/parfum
often masks hidden phthalates and allergens
phthalates
used in scents and plastics; linked to reproductive harm
phenols
like triclosan, tied to thyroid issues and antibiotic resistance
sodium hypochlorite (bleach)
harsh on lungs, skin, and the planet
ammonia
found in glass and floor cleaners; strong irritant
ethanolamines (MEA/DEA/TEA)
linked to organ toxicity and cancer risks
formaldehyde releasers
hidden in liquid soaps and wipes; known carcinogens
synthetic dyes
petroleum-based, irritating, and environmentally damaging
what we stand for
We design every Emerald Prairie Home product with your health (and the earth’s) in mind:
- Every formula is free from the Nasty Nine and safe for people, pets, and the planet
- No greenwashing, no guesswork - What’s on the label is what’s in the bottle
- Most of our products are powered by hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and other safe, proven ingredients
- Our products are biodegradable, low-impact, and thoughtfully made from start to finish
