Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate: Also called baking soda, sodium biocarbonate helps dough rise in cookies and bread. In our application, it assists in delivering oxygen bubbles to the surface of your coffee machine.

​Sodium Carbonate: Often used in toothpaste and baking German pretzels, this naturally occurring salt is found in the hills of Wyoming and can be derived from seaweed. It is a great cleaning agent that changes the pH.

​Sodium Gluconate: Used in dairy products and diet foods, this ingredient helps break down and rinse away soils. It’s produced by fermentation of glucose (sugars).

​Sodium Citrate: Derived from corn sugar via fermentation, this salt regulates acidity in the cleaning product. It can also be found on the ingredient list of some of your favorite energy drinks.

​Sodium Percarbonate: This is a key ingredient used in toothpaste for its oxygen-based bleaching abilities.

​Sodium Coco-Sulfate: A terrific foaming agent and surfactant produced from coconut oils, as the name suggests.

​Alkyl Polyglycosides: This ingredient is produced from the combination of alcohols and glucose. These sugars are derived from coconut, palm, and corn oil. This is a 100% renewable surfactant that would otherwise need to be produced from petroleum products.
