Our Standard
The Pure Standard
Low-tox, plant-derived formulas, sourced here and abroad. Each chosen for what's in it, how well it works, and whether the scent knows when to stop.
No greenwashing. No mystery ingredients. Nothing we wouldn't use at home.
Why a purer home feels calmer
Your home is the environment your nervous system reads all day. A calmer home isn't only how it looks. It's how little it asks of your body.
Follow the orb for a few rounds. Slow, even breathing moves the body out of alert.
Scent reaches the brain first
Smell wires straight into the limbic system, no filter in between. A scent settles you, or sets you on edge, before you've registered it.
Indoor air is the air you breathe most
Often 2–5× more polluted than outside, and it's where we spend most of our lives. Fewer VOCs, less for your lungs to work through.
“Fragrance” hides a great deal
One word on a label can stand in for dozens of undisclosed ingredients. What you can name, you can trust.
Calm is physical, not just a mood
Lighter scent, cleaner air, less chemical noise. Fewer small stressors to hold, and it adds up over a life lived at home.
Lower what your home asks of your body, and calm becomes the default rather than the effort.
General wellbeing context, not medical advice. Products are held to the criteria below.
What every product is held to
Ingredient quality
Plant-derived where possible. Disclosed in full. Never hidden behind the word fragrance.
Scent, considered
Pleasant in a room. Not announcing itself from the hallway.
Everyday performance
Tested against what you already use. Low-tox only counts if it works.
Packaging
Refilled, reused, or genuinely recyclable. Not simply replaced.
Would we use it ourselves
The final filter. If it's not in our home, it's not on the list.
How we score it
Every product scores out of five in four categories. Few reach a five, by design. It's an account of what's in the bottle, not a wellness rating.
Illustrative. Every product page carries its own scores, with reasons.
Not everything here is entirely non-toxic
We won't pretend otherwise. A few carry a synthetic ingredient because nothing plant-derived performs as well yet, at a fair price. The range is deliberate: choose your own priority.
