The Truth About “Eco-Friendly” Cleaning Products: What to Look For

Are Your “Eco-Friendly” Cleaning Products Really Green?

With so many products labeled as “natural,” “green,” or “eco-friendly,” it’s easy to assume they’re good for you and the planet. But here’s the hard truth—many brands greenwash their products, using misleading claims to appear more sustainable than they really are.

So how can you tell the difference? Let’s break it down and help you make informed choices.

At Sea Spray Soap, we believe in full transparency and using only truly sustainable, non-toxic ingredients. Here’s what to look for when shopping for eco-friendly cleaning products—and why our products meet the highest standards. 🌿✨


How to Spot Greenwashing in Cleaning Products

🚨 Beware of vague claims. Terms like “green,” “eco-safe,” and “natural” are not regulated—brands can use them without proof. Look for certifications or ingredient transparency instead.

🚨 Check the ingredient list. Some brands claim to be “plant-based” but still contain petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances, and harsh preservatives. A real eco-friendly cleaner will have recognizable, biodegradable ingredients.

🚨 Avoid synthetic fragrances. “Fragrance” on a label can hide hundreds of undisclosed chemicals, some of which may cause allergies or hormone disruption. Look for essential oils instead.

🚨 Look for plastic-free or minimal packaging. Some “eco-friendly” brands still use excessive plastic packaging. Choose products that come in biodegradable, refillable, or plastic-free containers.


What to Look for in a Truly Eco-Friendly Cleaner

Clearly labeled ingredients: Every ingredient should be listed—no vague terms like “proprietary blend” or “natural surfactants.”
Biodegradable & non-toxic formulas: Ingredients should break down naturally and not harm aquatic life.
Essential oils over synthetic fragrances: Choose products scented with pure essential oils, not “fragrance” or “parfum.”
No unnecessary fillers or harsh chemicals: Avoid SLS, phosphates, parabens, and artificial dyes.
Sustainable packaging: Look for plastic-free, compostable, or reusable packaging.
