Water

Water, also sometimes listed on product labels as aqua, is the most widely used of all solvents. It is a colorless, odorless and flavorless liquid and serves as the base of many cleaning products.

Isopropanol

Isopropyl alcohol, also known as isopropanol, is used as a solvent in glass and all-purpose cleaning products. Its antimicrobial properties make it useful in disinfecting products as well.

Isobutane (Propellant)

Isobutane is an organic substance with a low boiling point, which is used as an aerosol propellant.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Sodium lauryl sulfate, also called SLS, is a surfactant commonly used in household cleaners, detergents and soaps because of its soil removing and foaming abilities.

Acrylates/Aminoacrylate Copolymers

Acrylates/aminoacrylate copolymers are rheology modifiers and dispersants (helps particles separate in a solution), which help maintain product stability. A rheology modifier is a substance that helps change the thickness of a product either helping it to thicken or to become thinner.

Benzyl Salicylate

Benzyl salicylate is a synthetic fragrance ingredient with a floral scent that is commonly used in personal care products. It has been identified as a potential allergen by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, an advisory board to the European Union.

Fragrance

Fragrances and perfumes are mixtures of fragrant essential oils, aroma compounds, fixatives and solvents. They are used in cleaning products to add a particular scent (lavender, lemon, etc.) to clothes and homes, and to mask unpleasant odors. Clorox provides a separate list of all the fragrance ingredients used in our household and professional cleaning, disinfecting and laundry products.
