Our Ingredient Philosophy
We believe clean living should be honest and practical — not fear-based or overcomplicated.
Haven Scent cleaners combine naturally derived ingredients, gentle synthetics, and pure essential oils to deliver a clean that is effective, non-toxic, biodegradable, and pleasant to use every day.
Decyl Glucoside
What it is:
A gentle cleaning ingredient made from plant-based sugars and coconut-derived fatty alcohols.

Decyl Glucoside helps lift dirt and grease from surfaces without irritation. It’s commonly used in natural and baby products because of its mildness.
Why it’s good:
- Naturally derived
- Biodegradable
- Non-toxic and gentle
- Effective without harsh residue
Coco Glucoside
What it is:
A mild cleanser derived from coconut oil and plant sugars.

AOS-40 (Alpha Olefin Sulfonate)
What it is:
A highly effective cleaning ingredient used to remove tougher dirt, oils, and buildup.
Why we use it:

- Helps maintain low-fume, non-toxic formulas
Caprylyl / Capryl Glucoside
What it is:
A plant-derived cleaning ingredient made from coconut-based fatty alcohols and glucose.
Why we use it:
This ingredient helps dissolve oils and essential oils evenly throughout the formula, ensuring consistent cleaning performance and scent distribution.
Why it’s good:
- Naturally derived
- Biodegradable
- Keeps formulas stable and effective
- Gentle yet efficient
Citric Acid
What it is:
A naturally derived ingredient commonly produced through fermentation of plant sugars.
Why we use it:
Citric acid helps break down mineral buildup, soap residue, and water spots — especially useful in bathrooms and kitchens.
Why it’s good:
- Naturally derived
- Boosts cleaning performance
- Rinses clean with no residue
Essential Oils
What they are:
Pure, concentrated aromatic extracts sourced directly from plants — including flowers, leaves, resins, and citrus peels.
What makes ours different:
- We use 100% pure essential oils only.
- No fragrance oils.
- No synthetic aroma chemicals.
- No fillers.
- No “nature-identical” substitutes.
Why we use them:
Essential oils provide natural scent while enhancing the overall cleaning experience. Each blend is carefully selected to be subtle, balanced, and calming — never overpowering or artificial.
Why they’re good:
- 100% pure essential oils
- Free from synthetic fragrance blends
- No toxic or harmful fragrance ingredients
- Thoughtfully used at low, safe levels
- Create a clean that smells fresh, not chemical
We believe scent should come from nature — not a lab.
What We Leave Out
We’re thoughtful not only about what goes into our products, but also what doesn’t.
Haven Scent cleaners are made without:
- Chlorine bleach
- Ammonia
- Phosphates
- Synthetic fragrance oils
- Artificial dyes or colorants
- Harsh chemical fumes
We don’t believe clean living should rely on ingredients that overpower your space, irritate your senses, or require warning labels.
