What we mean when we say...
No chemical nasties
When we say “No Chemical Nasties”, we mean our products are formulated without harsh, unnecessary, or harmful ingredients that could negatively impact people or the planet.
All cleaning products contain chemicals, what matters is which ones are used and how safe they are.
We avoid ingredients such as chlorine, phosphates, parabens, triclosan, formaldehyde, microplastics, and heavy metals.
Every ingredient we use has a clear purpose and meets the safety and environmental requirements of GECA’s Cleaning Products Standard.
We are committed to full transparency and complete ingredient lists and SDS documents for every product are available in our Help Centre.
Grey & septic water safe
Our products are formulated to break down effectively without harming septic systems, soil health, or the beneficial bacteria they rely on.
Our products avoid harsh ingredients like chlorine, phosphates, solvents, and synthetic fragrances, which can disrupt septic balance or damage soil and plants when grey water is reused.
All surfactants used in Koh products are listed on the Detergent Ingredient Database (DID) list, meaning they meet recognised standards for biodegradability and environmental safety.
Our formulations are low-residue, readily biodegradable, and designed to minimise impact when diverted to garden irrigation or processed through household septic systems.
Not tested on animals
Neither our finished products nor their ingredients are tested on animals by Koh at any stage of development.
We work only with suppliers who provide assurance that the raw materials we purchase are not tested on animals for Koh’s use.
Our formulations are developed using well-established, non-animal testing methods and rely on existing safety data for each ingredient.
This approach ensures our products are safe, effective, and aligned with modern, ethical testing practices.
Fragrance & dye-free
Products contain no added perfumes, essential oils, synthetic fragrances, or colourants.
This helps reduce the risk of irritation, allergies, and unnecessary chemical exposure, especially for sensitive users.
Because we don’t add fragrances or dyes, our formulations are simpler, cleaner, and focused solely on effective cleaning performance.
Eco-certified
Eco-certified means our products have been independently assessed by GECA (Good Environmental Choice Australia), meeting strict criteria for safer ingredients, environmental performance, and responsible manufacturing.
GECA certification confirms that Koh products are designed with lower-impact chemistry compared to conventional cleaners.
Allergy friendly & sensitive formula
The term allergy friendly reflects that Koh products are designed for use around sensitive individuals and have been recognised by the Sensitive Choice blue butterfly program and Eczema Association.
Our products also undergo dermatological testing, ensuring they’re mild and well tolerated on sensitive skin.
