Triple Orange is a beautiful range of eco-friendly and
biodegradable cleaning products that are made in South Africa. The entire product range uses d-limonene which is cold extracted from orange peels. This makes them completely safe and non-toxic for you, your family and the planet.
The D-limonene as the active ingredient makes these products very effective at degreasing and naturally anti-microbial. They also leave behind a REAL and refreshing citrus scent as no synthetic fragrances have been used.
The Apothecary Oxygen Bleach is Nature’s own powerful cleaner. It is soda ash fortified with oxygen – creating a simple, effective, ecofriendly bleach and disinfectant. Once it’s made your goodies bright and clean, it breaks down into harmless water and oxygen. Just like your body uses hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to fight germs, or how rain becomes extra cleansing as it passes through the ozone layer – the same gentle power applies here. It leaves no harsh residue and is safe for your skin and grey water.
Güdco Toilet Paper & Kitchen Towels are a smart, sustainable swap for your home, made from a clever blend of 60% sugarcane fiber and 40% sustainable wood pulp. This unique combination provides strength for everyday messes while remaining soft and gentle for the skin. By repurposing agricultural waste, we help save trees and reduce carbon emissions, offering a product that is biodegradable and safe for all plumbing systems. Güdco is committed to being hypoallergenic, completely free of plastic, chlorine, and dyes.
Plus, every purchase helps support the Güdfoundation in building toilets for underprivileged schools in South Africa, so your sustainable choice
makes a real social impact.
The truth is, many conventional brands use clever labelling “loopholes” to keep their costs down and their formulas secret. Here is how information is often tucked away or simplified on everyday labels:
You might see words like “fragrance,” “parfum,” or “surfactant.” In the industry, these are often treated as “trade secrets.” A single word like “fragrance” can actually represent a cocktail of dozens of different chemicals that don’t have to be listed individually, even if they might cause skin sensitivity or headaches for some people.
Words like “natural” or “eco-friendly” aren’t strictly regulated for household goods. A brand can put a leaf on the packaging and call the product “natural” even if it still contains harsh dyes or synthetic fillers. It’s often more about marketing than what’s actually inside the bottle or roll.
Some chemicals are used to bleach paper or soften fibers during manufacturing but aren’t considered “ingredients” in the final product. Because they are part of the process rather than the recipe, brands don’t have to tell you they were used—even though residues can remain.
Sometimes the “bad stuff” isn’t hidden; it’s just disguised. Brands may list a harsh chemical by its complex scientific name instead of its common one. To most of us, it just looks like a standard ingredient, making it hard to tell the difference between a gentle plant-based cleaner and a harsh synthetic one.
You’ll often see “Free from [X]” in big bold letters. This is a common tactic to distract you. While it’s great that one specific bad ingredient is gone, it doesn’t automatically mean the rest of the ingredients are high quality or safe for the environment.
