We believe in transparency when it comes to our product labels and our marketing. Our labels clearly outline every ingredient within each Puracy product ... nothing more, nothing less.
As of this writing, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), which is responsible for overseeing personal care products and cosmetics, does not currently provide a definition for the term “natural.” Because a legal definition does not yet exist, Puracy, in its commitment to transparency, would like to explain what we consider “natural” to mean.
After reading through customer surveys, testimonials, and voluntary standards from various organizations (NPA, EWG, Whole Foods Eco Scale, etc.), we put together our own definition of the term "natural." In doing so, our goal is to help you make a well-informed decision as to whether our products are the right choice for your family.
To Puracy, a “natural ingredient” means it started from a natural, renewable source found in nature with absolutely no petroleum compounds. Here are some examples of “natural ingredient” sources we use: coconut, lime, salt, olive oil, sunflower seed, green tea, geranium, corn, ginseng, pink grapefruit, sesame seed, vanilla bean, and many more.
A “naturally derived ingredient" may also be identified as plant-based, vegetable-based, or plant-derived. This means the ingredient started from a natural source, such as coconut, and was then processed before becoming the final ingredient we use. An example would be Coco Glycinate, a plant-based surfactant.
To Puracy, a “natural product” means that more than 99% of the ingredients (independent of water), by concentration, are considered “natural ingredients" or "naturally derived ingredients," per our definitions above. Additionally, a “natural product” is 100% biodegradable.
A "synthetic ingredient" is one which is not from a natural source or has been extensively synthesized before becoming the final ingredient. We avoid using synthetic ingredients in our products, except in instances where:
Based on our definition of natural, as outlined above, every Puracy formula within our bottles is at least 99.5% “natural,” and many of our products contain an even higher percentage of “natural ingredients.” In other words — even in those instances where we use synthetic ingredients, they never account for more than 0.5% of any given product formula.

We also have gone out of our way to use packaging that is simple and easy to recycle at your local recycling center. Our bottles, pumps, sprayers, and caps are all made from Polyethylene Terephthalate, which is commonly known as PET(E). You can tell by looking for the #1 on the recycling logo. This is the same plastic used in most water, juice, and soda bottles. PET(E) is an inert plastic that does not leach harmful materials into its contents and does not contain Bis-phenol A (BPA). It is globally recognized as a safe, non-toxic, strong, reusable material that is 100% recyclable. In fact, it is the most widely recycled plastic in the world!
You’re going to love our natural care products so much that we guarantee it. In the unlikely chance you’re not a fan, we’ll give you your money back. No return necessary, never any hassles or hoops.
Plus, every purchase helps us donate to local families in need, and supports local artists.
