Is Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner fragrance-free?Updated a day ago
TL;DR: Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner has no added fragrance, perfume or synthetic scent. There are 15 ingredients in the formula and none of them is a parfum. It does have a mild scent of its own from the ingredient base, and one of those ingredients is ethanol, which is a volatile organic compound. Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia, Dermatest tested, Eczema Association of Australasia recognised.
Is it fragrance-free?
✓ No added fragrance, and here is the whole list
Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner has no perfume, parfum or synthetic scent on the ingredient list. All 15 ingredients: Aqua (deionised water), ethanol, sodium lauryl sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium xylene sulfonate, sodium metasilicate pentahydrate, trisodium dicarboxymethyl alaninate, polyacrylic acid sodium salt, xanthan gum, lipase, protease, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E), citric acid.
Ethanol is one of them, and ethanol is a volatile organic compound (VOC). The mild scent you notice comes from that ingredient base, with no added perfume over it.
✓ Independently assessed
Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia, a program that audits products for fragrance and ingredients that can trigger asthma. Dermatest tested for skin tolerance. Eczema Association of Australasia recognised. GECA certified.
Why does no added fragrance matter in a kitchen?
✓ One less variable in the air
Synthetic fragrance compounds linger on surfaces and in the air after cleaning, and a kitchen is often an enclosed space. A formula with no added fragrance takes that variable out.
✓ What the testing covers
Sensitive Choice approved by the National Asthma Council Australia, which audits fragrance and known asthma triggers. Dermatest tested for skin tolerance. Eczema Association of Australasia recognised.
✓ What it does not settle
People vary, and Koh does not claim a wholesale 100 per cent for every household. What is substantiated is specific: no parfum on a 15-ingredient list, and three independent assessments behind it.
