Truth about Chemicals

In today’s wellness-driven world, “chemical-free” has become a buzzword. But let’s get one thing straight, everything is made of chemicals. Yes, even water (H₂O), salt (NaCl), and the air we breathe. At Good Smells Inc, we believe in honest, safe, and sustainable science and education. 

What Is a Chemical, Anyway?

By definition, a chemical is any substance with a distinct molecular composition. That means your herbal tea, the citrusy zing of a lemon, and the essential oils in your diffuser are all chemicals.

We’re exposed to chemicals every day. The key difference lies in whether they’re harmful or harmless, synthetic or natural, and how they interact with our bodies and the environment.

There is no such thing as a chemical-free. Even “natural” products use chemicals, just ones derived from botanicals or minerals. What actually matters is whether those chemicals are:

• Non-toxic
• Biodegradable
• Sustainably sourced
• Irritant-free

At Good Smells Inc, we proudly use clean chemistry to blend art with science. Our products are rooted in eco-conscious formulation, not greenwashing.

What Are “Clean Chemicals”?

A clean chemical is any substance, natural or synthetic, that is safe for human health and the planet when used as directed. It’s all about:

• Purity: Free from known carcinogens or endocrine disruptors.
• Performance: Safe efficacy with minimal environmental impact.
• Transparency: Fully disclosed ingredients you can understand and trust.

For example:

• Natural: Emulsifiers, plant-based waxes, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
• Safe synthetics: Lab-created scent molecules that avoid allergens but replicate the aroma

 Clean Chemistry at Good Smells Inc

We handcraft every candle and spray using non-toxic fragrance oils, natural wax blends, and sustainable ingredients that align with global safety standards. Our promise:

• No phthalates
• No parabens
• No formaldehyde
• No petroleum-based paraffin
• No shady “fragrance” loopholes

Instead, we use:

• IFRA-certified fragrance blends
• Essential oils tested for purity
• Recyclable, reusable packaging

Every scent is thoughtfully created with your home and health in mind.

Why This Matters: Health + Peace of Mind

The air you breathe is sacred. That’s why we formulate our products to be:

• Safe for kids, pets, and sensitive individuals
• Mindfully dosed to reduce indoor air pollution
• Grounded in sustainability, not marketing trends

You deserve products that smell beautiful and do no harm.

Let’s stop fearing the word chemical and start demanding transparency. The real question isn’t “Is this chemical-free?” but rather: “Is this safe, ethical, and effective?”

At Good Smells Inc, we answer that with every clean, cozy, conscious scent we create.
