No matter where they occur, odors can make it hard to fully enjoy your home. There are many products on the market that can help you address unpleasant smells in the kitchen, bathroom and beyond, but you may be right to worry about exposing your family and pets to the chemicals found in many of them.
Fresh Wave Odor-Eliminating products offer a safer solution that doesn’t compromise on effectiveness. Our products combine traditional natural ingredients with modern science to neutralize odors without filling the air with synthetics. In this post, we’ll introduce you to our Fresh Wave ingredients and the technology that’s at the heart of our formulas.
The Science behind Fresh Wave
Before we start exploring our Fresh Wave gel ingredients and the ingredients in our other products, let’s consider what most air fresheners on the market contain. Conventional odor eliminating products often feature:
- Isopropyl alcohol: Used as a solvent or carrier for fragrances and known to cause inflammation of the eyes, skin and airways
- Phthalates: Additives used to strengthen gels, oils, sprays and other products that have been shown to have negative reproductive effects in animal studies
- Parabens: Chemical preservatives that extend the shelf life of products that have the ability to enter the human body
- Dichlorobenzene: A solvent that can cause skin, eye and nasal irritation
- Triethanolamine: An amino alcohol that can cause coughing and irritation of the throat and eyes
- Dialkyl sodium sulfosuccinate: A salt that can cause eye and skin irritation
- Acetone: A colorless liquid that has been shown to cause irritation of the skin and eyes in studies
- Synthetic fragrances: Perfumes that may cause allergic and hypersensitivity reactions
As you can see, there are a variety of potentially harmful ingredients commonly used in ordinary air fresheners, but you won’t find them in any Fresh Wave product. Our Fresh Air Technology allows us to create equally effective odor eliminators without including harsh synthetics. The product of 30 years of research, the technology is a three-step process:
- Attraction: Natural Fresh Wave ingredients attract charged odor molecules.
- Absorption: The natural ingredients attach to the odor molecules and then surround them.
- Neutralization: Our plant-based ingredients produce a chemical reaction with odor molecules, eliminating them.
What Kind of Ingredients Does Fresh Wave Contain?
We’ve talked about what you won’t find among Fresh Wave gel ingredients and the ingredients in our other products. Now, let’s explore what we do include in our formulas. Some of our plant powered ingredients are:
- Water: Instead of alcohol and other solvents, water serves as the base for many of our products, making them a gentler option.
- Lime oil: A twist of this citrus fruit can brighten up beverages and recipes. We use it for its natural deodorizing properties.
- Pine needle oil: Pine oil has an earthy scent and powerful properties as a cleaning agent.
- Cedarwood oil: In addition to having a wonderful woodsy fragrance, cedarwood oil is a natural antiseptic agent.
- Anise oil: Derived from a flowering plant, anise has a slightly sweet aromatic fragrance.
- Clove oil: A naturally occurring substance in cloves called eugenol acts as an antiseptic, and the oil has a spicy, warm aroma.
- Tocopherol alpha: Although its name may sound like a chemical, this ingredient is actually vitamin E, an antioxidant that fights the effects of ultraviolet energy and helps to preserve our products.
