Butane is a propellant used to dispense a product from a container. It is often used in concert with other propellants such as isobutane and propane. While butane is commonly known for its use in heaters and lighters, as a propellant its energy comes from being compressed in a can rather than from being lit or heated.

Propane is a propellant used to dispense a product from a container. It is often used in concert with other propellants such as butane and isobutane. While propane is commonly known for its use as a fuel, for example for grills and portable stoves, as a propellant its energy comes from being compressed in a can rather than from being lit or heated.

Isobutane is a propellant used to dispense a product from a container. It is often used with other propellants such as butane and propane. While isobutane is commonly known for its use as a fuel, for example for camp stoves, as a propellant its energy comes from being compressed in a can rather than from being lit or heated.

Sorbitan Oleate is an emulsifier that can also be found in moisturisers, hair-styling products and soaps. It helps bind ingredients together and keep a formula from separating. In fragranced products, it also helps ensure even distribution of the fragrance. We add emulsifiers to our products, where needed, to ensure that our products provide the same performance use after use.

Potassium phosphate is a corrosion inhibitor that can also be found in facial cleansers and moisturisers. It helps keep contents fresh and prevent the corrosion or rusting of a tin, container or dispenser. We know there are concerns about phosphates and their impact on waterways and surface water. However, potassium phosphate is used in low concentrations to limit the concentrations of total phosphate being used in SC Johnson products and potentially released to surface waters.

Sodium phosphate is a corrosion inhibitor that can also be found in bath products and makeup. It helps keep contents fresh and prevent the corrosion or rusting of a tin, container or dispenser. We know there are concerns about phosphates and their impact on waterways and surface water. However, sodium phosphate is used in low concentrations to limit the concentrations of total phosphate being used in SC Johnson products and potentially released to surface waters.

Ammonium hydroxide is commonly referred to as "ammonia." Many consumers use it at home for cleaning and laundry. It is a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that removes dirt, and it can also be used as a pH adjuster that alters the pH of a product to improve stability. Every formula has an optimum pH to make it work best. For example, a formula that is more acidic works better for soap scum removal. Its opposite, a formula that is more alkaline, might be more effective at removing grease or greasy soils. We use pH adjusters to make sure we achieve the best pH for a particular job. Also, the pH of a formula can affect how long it lasts within a container – for example limiting its tendency to corrode a tin, container or dispenser. Household ammonia has a strong odour; by using ammonium hydroxide in combination with other ingredients, we can achieve the same cleaning results while using much less ammonia.

Propylene glycol is a solubiliser that can also be found in cosmetics, toothpaste, food and beer. It is sometimes confused with ethylene glycol, the sweet-tasting ingredient that can be used in air conditioning systems and antifreeze products, but it is a different ingredient. Propylene glycol is used in our products to help ensure even distribution of the ingredients throughout a product, to help it work better. We also use it as an odour eliminator, as a cleaning agent, or "surfactant," that removes dirt, as a wetting agent, or as a carrier that enables delivery of the product to the surface.

Benzalkonium chloride is a preservative that can also be found in skin creams and shampoos. It helps maintain product quality and performance over time. Some people raise concerns about preservatives, because a small number of individuals have allergies to them just as some people have allergies to nuts or bees. But preservatives play a very important role in food, cosmetics and household products. Without preservatives, many products would not last more than a week or two before being contaminated by bacteria, mould or yeast. So, we feel the best choice is to add preservatives in the smallest effective quantity to protect our products, but to list these preservatives in our formulas so that those with allergies in the family can make informed choices.
