The Choices We Make
We are diligent about making sure our ingredient choices are informed by the latest science and our own high standards. Our commitment to transparency means we communicate about these choices and the standards that guide us.
Restricted Use Materials
We stay updated on industry information, government regulations, the latest scientific studies and consumer concerns about chemicals to maintain a list of ingredients we do not use or use only in very small amounts because they do not meet our standards. We review this list regularly to ensure it captures any new science or changes in government policies or regulations.
SC Johnson Fragrance Palette
We maintain a palette of materials that have been screened and are approved for use in our fragrances. Because our standards are high, this list represents only about 40% of the chemicals allowed by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA).
Skin Allergens
Since 2017, SC Johnson has provided information about skin allergens that may occur in our products as part of our commitment to transparency. We analysed about 3,000 data sets in order to determine our list of potential skin allergens and to be transparent in disclosing them. It includes materials identified in country regulatory lists, dermatology clinic data, inputs from the European Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety and more. We use ingredients with potential skin allergens only in amounts so low they would be highly unlikely to create a new skin allergy or trigger a skin allergy reaction.
